Who is the rat in Upton Park?


Let's be clear here. If there is a plan to replace Grant, only the people at the very top should know about it. You don't tell your plans to a player you are hoping to sign, who is not even restrained by a contract, you sign that player AFTER you have replaced the manager. You don't tell anybody on your staff for fear the confidential information will be leaked, especially when journalists buzz round football clubs like flies around a fresh stool. You keep it close. Close. Closer.

So, only three people could possibly know, outside of anybody the club may have approached. The three are Sullivan, Gold and Brady. Now, who has been decidedly luke warm about Grant from the off? Who has suggested on a couple of occasions that his job could be on the line? Who leaked that we would not be signing Sidwell before Grant was even told? Same person every time. Who has a newspaper column and friends inside the media and press? Same person again. Who was on her mobile during the game last night? But perhaps that was to book a manicure!

Who is the rat inside Upton Park? No one knows apparently. But based on physical appearance, Grant is definitely the Toad, Gold looks like Badger, Sullivan is small enough to be Mole and bloody looks like him, which only leaves Brady to be Ratty!

    Let's face it, it doesn't matter who the rat is. All that matters is that we get shot of Grant. I know you think that he inherited a pile of crap and he has. But it doesn't matter if he has or not. Look at what he does on pitch-side. NOTHING!!! He sits there (mainly) arms folded with the look of nothingness on his face. He doesn't have a clue what to do and if it weren't for the huge wage pack he would have walked ages ago! You can see that he really isn't bothered about what happens, he's as bad as half the players, just in it for the money!!!

    I think you may have the events in the wrong order. We rejected the Sidwell deal and the comments about it were in Brady's newspaper diary three days later.

    The only rats are all the so called people in the know - they actually sod all. That start threads on forums, they put rumours on their blogs, the newspapers read this and we get the snowball effect.

    You may be right 1540. Which rat started this one? Iain Dale wasn't it?

    Yes HF, it was ian toryboy dale - he said a source in the club had told him that MON was to be next manager.
    Dale was annoyed when Jonathan Pearce claimed the scoop yesterday. But Dale is just another media mouth anyway, failed to become an mp, so has 'career' in 'media'

    Yeah I know mate. Given it was Dale, perhaps it was all pillow talk. But then Brady couldn't have been the source!

    Remember there are two sides to this. May be the source didn't come from Upton Park, perhaps it initially had something to do with O'Neil or his agent, or agent's office. I can't believe it was Sullivan, Gold or Brady.

    Most of Dale's sycophantic little turds on his site were supporting Barnsley the other week.

    He says that because you censor what is posted here. You're very like Herr Goebbels in that respect. HG obviously a relation!

    Does he? And you are his mouthpiece are you? Why have I published this comment and Stani's comment if that is the case then?

    HF, I was just making the point that the comment of mine you moderated, it was because it was insulting (apparently) and nothing to do with the post, but you have allowed a comment through here that fits that description.

    The comment about Dale? His site started the rumour Stani. I did counter it.
