Usmanov

[degsy]

Our genius plan is to pretend we’re skint, sell for what we can, bring the cheap signings in early.

Then… Usmanov buys half the club, we splash £120m on Koulibaly, Bailey, Aarons and Camavinga.

...and still finish 12th.

Bernard died in 2007…

My bad; just realised you weren't talking about our Bernard haha.

 

[Steve Wigan]

The only sensitive thing about Manning was his nipples after squeezing into another spray-on jacket, an odious man.

There's nothing wholesome about anti-semetic/racist jokes, Steve.

Lots of Bernards friends were ethnic and Jewish...difficult in entertainment not to have a number of Jewish friends, I have !. Bernards jokes were anti racist, and people who really understood the jokes got this. Its a bit like Apocalypse Now, a really violent movie, but in reality an anti war movie. Its very naive of you to think that Bernard was racist and anti semetic...he was the opposite.

Bernard died in 2007…

That was Breslaw

That was Breslaw

Bernard Bresslaw died in 1993, Bernard Manning in 2007. I spoke to Bernard Bresslaw about a month before he died, despite his image as an idiot soldier in the Army Game he spoke 'very correct' and was very 'actorish' In fact he died while performing Shakespeare in the Regents Park Open Air theatre. I met Bernard Manning a few times when I was helping the Variety Club Childrens Charity. Sorry admin this is off topic, but needed clarifying.

I so hope you're right!

Uncle Uzi must be disgusted his pennies have been spent on absolute dross so far..

Hopefully he gets mad and pumps gazillions more into the club.

I've no doubts as to your integrity, Steve. You've always struck me as a decent sort on here and Kipper, however, don't try to tell me Manning was anything other than a xenophobic, homophobic, anti-semetic racist.
He built a "career" out of it, if I recall correctly there was even secret recordings of him espousing racist diatribe?

Anyway, massively off track here, soz Mods.

 

[deipnosophist]

The only Bernard I know is Bernard Reid...an old school pal. He was a very talented mathematician. I ran into him a while ago...he had piled on the weight. I do not however recall him being particularly xenophobic, homophobic, or anti-semetic.
