So you disliked him enough to give him your number?Turnkey wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2024 5:35 pmAfter the incident I received a nice threatening text from Mr Rowe (which I still have) saying he would sue me if I made the incident known.

In fairness, he expressed a judgment of character which is generally an opinion-based thing...

The old saying goes "You can please some of the people some of the time, but you will never please all the people all the time." In fact sometimes it seems impossible to even please some of the people any of the time

I was working on the ground staff, both him and Gary, as with all previous managers had my number so they could let us know what they wanted doing with the training ground before they arrived.FloridaPhil wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2024 5:04 pmSo you disliked him enough to give him your number?Turnkey wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2024 5:35 pmAfter the incident I received a nice threatening text from Mr Rowe (which I still have) saying he would sue me if I made the incident known.

I seem to remember him being touted as the reason we lost Idris Kanu for nothing whether true or not, it seemed his treatment of the younger players left a lot to be desired.

He joined Peterborough Utd for an undisclosed fee :- https://www.theshots.co.uk/kanu-peterborough/

I think this was connected to Idris leaving West Ham (where Rowe was a coach) rather than us. Wasn’t there something about Rowe’s dad being an agent and looking to expand his agency through his son?Birdman wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2024 5:28 pmHe joined Peterborough Utd for an undisclosed fee :- https://www.theshots.co.uk/kanu-peterborough/

OK. I would have thought that they would have told the groundsman that info and that he would pass it on.Turnkey wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2024 5:10 pmI was working on the ground staff, both him and Gary, as with all previous managers had my number so they could let us know what they wanted doing with the training ground before they arrived.
Regardless, thank you for the explanation.
