    Bloody hell. Cryne's got a great sense of humour.

    Love that he went in the Arctic Monkeys gig

    All right, let me be the first to say it........Is this a genuine Q&A or a cleverly written spoof?

    I'd love to believe it was all true, but I'm struggling with it. I mean, why would he be that frank with you?

    He called us all philistines.

    Boooooooo....

    Have to say I have given grief over the years but it seems like we all in the same direction for once.

    It's been good this last 6 months and long may it continue.

    We seem to have a plan and we seem to be improving in all departments.

    Except the scoreboard ;)

    all in all it seems a great team effort and PC can take his share of the credit too. After all he has had his share of stick.

    So.....I kid you not, that was one of my favourite reads of favourite reads. Sitting here in a hotel room in banbridge, NI with a glass of wine and devouring anything red.
    Whitey.....I don't know you but I read you and I follow you and you are a wasted talent. Ken needs to realise this and he needs to be thinking of you as his next Comms / PR specialist. 6 figure salary etc. if he don't want you then fck Ken. In all seriousness, whether it's the blog, the vids, interviews etc, they are superb entertainment for an obsessive red. The emotion you put into your writing and other pieces of ART actually move me. To tears sometimes.
    The last one with PC takes you, my unknown friend, to the mountain's summit. Your Dad, Grandad, .......totally moved me. I ******** thee not. It's because you write with a love of the club and the things that come with that love.
    My Grandad (known as iron man brain from Carlton..the best centre half in Barnsley ..looked like John Wayne..... A rate handsome bxxstard) wasn't there when we got prem promotion but me and my dad , Roy the boy (finest man that's ever lived in my eyes......took me down to Oakwell when I was 5), cried our eyes our for iron man. Your writing evokes those memories of my people.
    No ********, no smoke up yer arris, your writing is genuinely moving but just as importantly it's genuinely funny, downbeat, ..it has realism and it has the common touch for the common man. For the man that lives on the common it's perfect. I kid thee not.....whatever you do at Kens, you are fckn get wasted, font size 72 in RED in bold with flashing neon.
    So for the vids, the blogs and all the other **** you post, i thank you.

    Without wishing to spoil the party mood as this fantastic season continues this season has affected me just like like it's affected thousands of others. It has tested our faith in the club and those who run it. From the serial complainers to the happy clappers. And on that point and for the record (after three glasses of red and two wife beaters) I would urge the serial moaners who have previously been calling for the heads of Messrs C and M to think about their faith in the coming months. My advice to them would be "keep your fckn counsel to yourselves and put some trust in a man (PC) who has not only saved our club but put it on a path to survival and future growth.
    This needs to be said because if we don't go up (.....note for Red Rain.....even tho we might not be ready .......editors note.....still baffled) and lose the first 5 games of next season in league 1 then the serial moaners should not forget about the plan and sticking to it. It's about showing faith and it's about the long haul. As a previously accused and guilty as charged happy clapper my trust in PC is confirmed by the wonderful interview you have just posted.
    Goodbye.




    of next season







    have previously gone, and then when we have some success they jump on the party bus .....but that's 21st century life I guess.life I also can't stand it when those of us who retained the faith have previously been given stick for being happy clappers.

    This is sweet

    Why? You'd have to ask him that.

    But I can promise you that it's 100% genuine.

    I can see why it'd be seen as potentially a spoof piece. But I assure you it's not. I'm not that clever.

    Cheers for that. Some lovely words.

    The Ken Morrison thing's a bit of a private joke. He's not involved in Morrisons. Not any longer. And I don't officially work for them either, not the Morrisons you are thinking of. I work for a company they own. So I'm lying really, I do work for em. Haha. But you get my point. The company has seen an increase in profits recently. The new CEO has just been given a million pound bonus. Nice. He and others (all given ridiculous sums as bonuses) are taking all the credit for a very tiny turnaround, when in reality, all that has happened is the company has made a small profit because they shut a load of stores/factories 12 months ago, made loads of grafters on low incomes redundant. And the grafters left behind were given increased workloads. I'm not even known to any proper bosses. I'm just a number, a very small cog in the machine. A vital one (they'd soon notice if I didn't turn in, put it that way) but all the same, I'm not important.

    I am though about to be promoted at long last, and I appreciate my salary isn't leaving me destitute. But I'm not in a job I enjoy and I know I'm wasted. But there comes a point where you accept your standing. I love writing about BFC, I love making videos, I'd love the club to employ me. But even if they could, they couldn't pay me what I earn working for Ken. Tis what it is. :)

    Again, thanks for that. Made me blush. :D

    It's very good that. A glimpse in to what he's like behind the public persona. He comes across as very likeable.

    Well done mate.
