Just a question about the collection for Mr. Shepherd

Why on earth should we do that?

It's not as though he's poor, sick or in anyway in need of money!

Honestly.

 

Don't contribute then

I'm not

 

I thought the same.

Yeah he's done a great job, good luck with him and all that. But money?

 

I'm not going to....

but that wasn't my point was it?

 

Are they buying him something with the donations or just giving him cash? nt

 

Plenty of poeple that have done just as much if not even more for the club through the years.

Shall we have a collection for them too?

I'm just putting my pound coins into piles an hoping i've got enough of them.

 

RE: Are they buying him something with the donations or just giving him cash? nt

I think the idea is to have a handful of cash with which to buy some keepsake tokenof respect and appreciation from the BBS. There's been a lot of criticism on here during his tenure and some people think we should put the record straight and let him know that we know how much he's done for the club.

 

Laura wanted to and will send a gift regardless.

Mr Shepherd has done quite a bit for her and for CFSN so she felt that it was only right that she repaid him in some way.

She decided that as he was leaving she would send/give him a token of her appreciation. When it was mentioned yesterday that maybe we ought to do something for him, she jumped at the chance, hence the post asking if anyone else wanted to contribute. After a few positive responses, she asked City tyke if it would be ok to have a collection box at the ground and has also asked Joanne (Gordon's PA) if she could have a word with Mrs Shepherd to see if there is anything he would like.

I have to say I applaud my daughter for doing this.

She is also prepared, despite her health, to sort out and deliver the gift(s).


She is well aware that not everyone sees eye to eye with Gordon and therefore it is purely voluntary if anyone wants to donate.

 

RE: Are they buying him something with the donations or just giving him cash? nt

Hope they don`t go overboard and are very prudent within their budget when choosing this gift.

 

I applaud her too.

I was not getting at her.

 

Anyway.

How's Westie bearing up?</p>

 

having a collection is a brilliant idea. they could then give the money to davey to waste on yet another forward and not play him.

 

He's not poor

that's obvious. But how can you say he's not sick? Do you know that for sure?

 

Doing fine mi owd

Back at work, started a jogging, lost 2 stone, told the women i live with to move out asap and looking forward to getting on with my new life. Only problem is this chuffin ticking from my new mechanical heart valve is sending me daft. YOu seem well i see

 

RE: Doing fine mi owd

Great stuff. Never a dull moment chez Westie eh?</p>

Our mutual friend on the bench will be pleased to hear you're up and at 'em.</p>

I hope you don't think I was getting at you either..

I wanted to let posters know Laura's reasons and what she was trying to do.

Also that the idea is to buy a token gift from The BBS Community.


As I say
"If people want to contribute they can"

 

For no reward?

Shep hasn't been taking a salary from the club.

 

Isn't the collection being made by the Supporters Trust?

... as opposed to the BBS

 

He's not poor but he does have health problems. nt
