Birch

[Motown Fox]

I'm surprised no one has suggested that Birch must have had a crap in MM's car aint that the usual reason why MM gets rid of people?

 

[lanxfox jnr]

Do what exactly? What is it that you think the Birch will do for free?

Work for the club for free, what did you think I meant? :icon_lol:

 

[Macky]

What 'work' do you think he would do, for free?
Surely not his current role?

 

[Steven]

It'll be Cousin Dennis next.

Nooooooooooooooooo.

 

[The Old Fox]

Would be a shame. I like Birchy and he obviously loves the club.

Course he would, he's a lestah lejeeeeend and would do anyfink for us

owt (pronounced 'oat').

 

[Boy Genius]

I am told that Mandaric has been trying to oust the Birch for some time. Perhaps mandaric believes the Birch is being paid too much for little return.

If MM wanted him out, he would have gone ages ago. When you own the show you hire and fire who you want to.
Somebody must be above him to prevent him from doing what he wants to do eh?

Just tweeted from our favourite radio personality:

Alan Birchenall MBE will have his near 40 year association with Leicester City ended it seems.BBC Radio Leicester, 104.9fm from 7am for more

Just listened to the 8:30 news. The only mention was of a campaign by fans to keep Birch at the club when he reaches retirement age.

Have I missed anything else since 7 a.m.?

Not heard anything other than that wasps, apparently, often sting people in late summer.

Nope - a load of old cobblers

Stringer asking Hoos in an interview about the decision to force him to retire when he reaches 65, and Hoos saying he couldn't possibly comment on that

Pure speculation that he is being given compulsory retirement, and some blather about a twatty facebook site set up to keep him

Another top day of investigative journalism down at Radio Leicester

 

[bocadillo]

Just been a short feature about this on RL, giving fans' views. They seem to be connecting it with retirement age rather than anything else.

 

[Real Sharapova]

Birch would do it for free if they didn't pay him so I can't see this happening, especially as the club website issued a statement denying the rumours only a couple of weeks ago.

There is a fatal flaw in your argument if you think about it hard enough.:icon_wink

 

[Ike O'Noclassed]

Still hammering on about the wasps.

They are the farmer's friend, you know....

You're thinking of London Irish.

Now confirmed, sort of.........

Mockery reporting

However, the Mercury understands that City have concerns about setting a precedent by allowing him to stay on past the normal retirement age.

Those f**kwits not having picked up that compulsory retirement at 65 is being made illegal next year. Some precedent.

First own goal of the season unless they transfer Fryatt and offer DJ a contract extension pronto.

Why is everyone so bent out of shape? Someone on the bluearmy site is saying is he goes, then they do! He's 65, boring and embarrassing at half time. Get rid.

I couldn't care less whether he stays or goes - but the reasons given are patently ridiculous in every way

If they think he's past his sell by date, then just feckin' say so and stop behaving like a bunch of utter lying wankers
