I agree its embarrassing, but this wont get rid of him, his mouth runs wild, he is not a surgeon, he is not a philosopher, he is not a mountain climber, he is in charge of an underperforming football team, where the only two decent things we have is wael, and loyal supporters who are divided by his appointment and tenure.
He promised us a day in the sun, we are in it quite regularly I bet, articles galore.

Can anybody understand why the club haven't made a statement? Can only think they afraid of making a fool of themselves again after the appalling statement put out after Barton was charged with assaulting his wife and are hoping it just goes away. Absolutely disgraceful leadership.

Can anybody understand why the club haven't made a statement? Because they are weak.

Can anybody understand why the club haven't made a statement? I have thought about this point too and I wouldn’t be surprised if there are conversations going on around whether we are coming to the end of the road/Joey to focus on personal challenges etc. I really can’t think of any other reason why no comment has been made. I just can’t believe where we are with all this, it’s like a nightmare you can’t wake up from and Joey is Freddie Krueger!

Can anybody understand why the club haven't made a statement? Because it’s been twisted and taking out of context. The meaning of it is destruction on a mass scale, which is obviously what he meant. It’s obvious he wasn’t talking about the other type. There is more than one meaning for a lot of words. Don’t mind if he gets sacked for his performances and if proved guilty of any court case. But this has been taken out of context. The club have removed it, as they can see it has caused offence to some. But don’t see the need in a statement, saying what we already know😂

This is a genuine question here, but would the reaction had been that same if JB had something about a Nuclear Bomb being dropped on our goal or something else like that given what happened in Japan in WW2?

Yeah there's plenty of dickhead that love singing about German bombers in the air (people I would normally consider decent BTW too) and that's deliberate!

Quote JB Someone gets in for a game, does well but then has a holocaust, a nightmare, an absolute disaster.
Dictionary a large amount of destruction esp. by fire or heat or the killing of large numbers of people.
Now not backing JB but he did not prefix with THE. But now we have either people wanting their face in the press or have been given the wrong quote.
Poor choice of words by JB, not even sure it works in his sentence but really people jumping on a band wagon.

Now we’re being reactive, that is if we actually do anything. Had we done something straight away at least it would have shown a difference between JB and the BOD. Now it’s unclear as to what their view is. I’m sure it’s not what JB said but without a response from the BOD, the opinion of that board is completely lost and becomes irrelevant. Why haven’t they responded? I can only think there is a complete vacuum in the leadership of BRFC. Surely Starnes should have stepped in on Saturday night. Did he even listen to it? Did he know? If he didn’t then he should have as CEO of the club. Shameful and incompetent leadership. As a few have said I’m not sure that JB either realised the implications of using that expression or meant it in the way it came across. But unfortunately JB has no filters, he doesn’t realise things other people do. He engages his mouth before his brain and knowing that, as our leaders must do, They should be monitoring what he says and be ready to respond. I blame the owner/CEO as much as JB for this shambles. I would now expect to see Starnes and JB depart within the week. UTG! (It’s getting much harder to add that atm!)

He’s the gift that keeps on giving. Whatever he meant it was a very poor choice of words and has attracted negative attention again. Trying to find other parallel phrases as a defence is irrelevant. What he said has brought embarrassment to the club and he (and the club) should apologise for his words, say they weren’t meant to cause offence and then move on. But we can’t seem to do that either.

Whatever your views about the BBC, once any news item appears on its online platform or if it’s broadcast it then receives a much wider audience. Now it’s there WAQ can expect even more scrutiny and publicity than just the people who listened to local new outlets. UTG!

Yep, all he needs to do is say, I used the wrong word, it was stupid, I'm sorry for any offence it caused, and then he can get right back to being our worst manager ever. But I imagine he's got too high an opinion of his massive intellect and highly developed sense of right and wrong to even do that.
