Stuart At The Firepit Wed

Glad you enjoyed it. Took a hell of a lot of organising but we've had no negative feedback at all so we'll take that!

 

Can anyone fill us in on this bit? Still intrigued....

 

Quite simply Edin would say one thing then do totally the opposite.

 

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a type of cognitive bias in which people believe that they are smarter and more capable than they really are. Essentially, low ability people do not possess the skills needed to recognize their own incompetence. Think that just about covers it for super I know footy Edin........

 

This just about covers James Mason. Not pleasant to see him stirring the audience against Edin when he backed him 100% until he was sidelined in favour of Paula Watson. I'll have to ask him about the Secret Bantam twitter plot to destabilise the club next time. And get answers on claims he makes about being the CEO of BCFC and Rochdale? And what TV show he claims to have presented on First Point website.

pointy shoes nuff said

 

Surprised more hasn't been spoken about on social media about this event, thought it would be all over it but heard nothing since.

 

Yeah, it's all Mason's fault and nothing to do with the fact Edin was a clueless, incompetent liar who continuously filled everybody with utter b*llsh*t and ran us into League 2.

 

Stuart will always be a club legend. He shouldn't come back and manage us however though after two stints already.

 

This was a fantastic event. Great evening. Stuart was on top form.

The sheer number of crazy Edin stories was mad but not entirely surprising

 

I disagree. He did fantastically well in his second stint working under that moron, and many believe - myself included - that his sacking was unjust.

If there was an opportunity down the line for Stuart to return and continue the good work he started in League One, then I would be all for it!

 

What a ridiculous angle to approach the subject.

Man employed as mouth piece speaks positively about employer in public, what a scandal.

We can never know what was said behind closed doors, but I doubt it was all rainbows and sunshine. The fact you think presentation is reality is a concern.

 

That probably came from the fact he was skilled in business. The smartest people I know, know what they know but crucially know what they don't if that makes sense

 

Mason also had a couple of crazy tidbits about Edin, they didn’t get on.

Infact, they both made it fairly clear that the reason they and Greg chose to stick around so long was because they knew what Edin was capable of if they weren’t there to try and temper him and his madcap ideas.

 

That’s frightening

 

Then why did it reportedly take a letter to SR to prompt action? Could they not have done more, particularly James in a non playing position and heavily involved with the day to day of the club?

 

City fans have wanted answers to what went on behind the scenes, and the infamous Luke Hendrie Yeovil game and they got that. Everyone I spoke to thought it was one of the best City nights they'd been too. Stuart did 90% of the talking. He was funny, open and honest. That's why he's our City legend.

All staff at the club during Edin's era were forced to put forward a public front. Stuart, Greg and James were all in the same sinking boat. Stuart had worked miracles keeping the players on board despite Edin's antics.

They have careers and jobs. It's easy to be principled and self-righteous when you're not the one telling your partner you're leaving a salary behind and the family has bills that need paying. Greg had to suffer this torment during a life-threatening illness.

James if you recall, did walk of his own accord. It was his dream job. He had no job to go too. He was in tears when doing his final video. There are not many who would have the guts and moral courage to do that.

The only villain in this affair has no gone and thankfully we're now able to rebuild bridges, re-connect with the fans and start getting City back to where they belong.

CTID.

 

Totally agree. Stuart did a fantastic job that some managers fail to achieve even when they've the full backing of a sane and sensible owner.
The fact that Stuart got us as far as he did whilst constantly dealing with an egomaniac who was also a complete bufoon is testament to his abilities.
