Supposedly "Neil Shipperley lived in Hillingdon, Middlesex & attended Bishopshalt Comprehensive School in Uxbridge."

Bit premature for that old chap. A couple of wins would change the situation drastically. Don't see what prophesies of doom are going to contribute. More than a third of the season left to play. Anything might happen. Keep your chin up.

It is a matter of historical record that CB is a "this glass is one-eighth full" type of chap :)

1/8 1/16 1/32 1/64 1/128 1/256.........it's all the same. Never, ever, ever, ever give up!


If Brentford is relegated this season it won't help me one iota to tell myself in May "see! I knew it. I told them in January" :wave:

If he puts his name on rescuing his home town club from relegation that would put him back into favour on the transfer market.

It would do nothing of the sort. His CV won't be improved by coming to Brentford, why do you think players have been turning us down left, right and centre.

Having said that I wish Neil well if he comes here. I saw him in a pub many years back when a Saints player and seemed very down to earth.

Nothing less than Roy of the Rovers is going to save us on the pitch this season. We have to face facts.

That's your opinion Mark but you have to admit that it certainly would improve his CV at this stage of his career if he became instrumental in turning Brentford around and raising the club out of the relegation zone

Maybe they weren't all born and raised in relative proximity to Griffin Park. Look, they can't all play for Manchester United and sooner or later they have to settle for something less. Ask Paul Ince why he signed for Wolves, ask Dennis Wise why he signed for Millwall and ask Paul Merson why he signed for Walsall.

Paul Ince did play for Manchester United. :scratch:


erm, not lately and not when he settled for Wolverhampton Wanderers

Apart from the defeatism from a BU board member?:scratch:

What about if he was to join and we went on to win every game until the end of the season. 70 odd points would put us in the play-offs!
Unlikely? Well Ian Dowie did not think so when he took over Palace in the drop zone and they went onto win promotion with Shipperley scoring the crucial goal in either the final or semi final and also skippering the side.

His CV does not need improving one iota and if he can stay fit he would be an incredible catch for Fitz to land. I have my fingers crossed but am not holding out too much hope because I still think he could do a job in the division above for one of 7/8 clubs.

That would include the other shower up the road who now also need a target man for the younger players to learn off! Money talks!

What about the other promising lad, Billy Dane I think his name was, he must be out of school by now and sure if he keeps Dead shot Keens boots safe and in one piece he could do a job for us.

The other youngster Nipper Lawrence was a combative albeit headstrong midfielder who frequently netted one in the old onion bag or lobster pot. He attracted his fair share of trouble but he must have calmed down by now. He never talked about the money, never shirked a challenge and I'm sure he'd relish the task.
 

Neil Shipperley

Peter Reid suggested that David Beckham could do a job for four months and wouldn't need to get paid or anything..think what that would do for our club..:eek: and just a stone's throw from Chelski so Posh could mingle with her friends as I am sure she wouldn't want to sample our facilities..... lol

Do you know what Mark...I'm heartily sick of the constant negative opinionated statements of 'fact' that you spout day in, day out.
Why don't you give it a rest and try to be a bit more positive instead of making it your life's work to slag everyone off whose opinion you don't agree with.
You are, after all, supposed to be the communications man for BU - I'm just a bit unsure about what kind of message are you trying to communicate?
There are plenty of points left to play for and until we're mathematically down, there's hope - unless of course you've already given up.

His CV won't have been improved by being stuck in the reserves, either. He won't want to do that anywhere else. My guess is that one of his selection criteria will be a guarantee of first team football.

sadly in this day and age communication seems to mean you can knock up a website rather than articulate, facilitate and negotiate - sorry just a personal opinion...

It's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other....good and bad

He wasn't playing first team footie, whereas at Brentford he would be ( can only be good ), he can be a great mentor for our young squad and its close to home, so no time travelling:sorted:

However, if he came and we inevitably went down then possibly that's not so good on the CV:(

BUT

On the plus side, when we go down and if he has knocked in some goals, then a higher league club might want to have a stab at him on a years contract afterwards:)

OR

he could stay at the club and work with the "Management" side of things:idea:

When Shaun Wright Phillips went to Chelski, some said good for him, some said otherwise. You never know whats going to happen. Look at Deon Burton for us ( lol ) but is playing regurlarly at a higher level :shrug:

I have a funny feeling he's gonna end up at Southend. I don't know why and I know diddly squat and have no inside info, I just have a funny feeling (and it's not wind) :crazy2:

Gillingham are quoted as talking with him in the Sun.

Must be right 'cause the date on page 1 was correct!

Barnsley have just signed Leon Constantine for £120k so not to sure if they would snap up Shipperly, however they have let Tommy Wright go on loan to Darlington i think.

I think this is good news then surely? If the fecking pikeys interest him then surely he'd consider us?? They have no money and are sh*t too :wave:
 

Neil Shipperley

Doubt if we could get anyone decent like him in.

Shame we are under fecking Grays in where decent strikers want to play.

The end is in sight...

Hi Jim :wave:

When can we expect the Chronicle's first exclusive with Darren Patterson? lol
Still no sign on the official site that he is to be named as per your scoop as manager or have I missed something? :rolleyes:
 

Neil Shipperley

I have been told, by someone I trust and knows Neil since his Palace days, that he has two offers on the table at the moment. One is from Gillingham and one is from a Championship side.

Constantine deal fell through this morning according to SKY SPORTS NEWS.
 

Neil Shipperley

If Shipperley doesn't want to sign for us I just hope he doesn't go with them pikey ***** at Gillingham. Ooooooooh how I hate them. I only live 30 mins car drive from their cabbage patch they call a football pitch. I detest them more than the QPR scum

How? I said Constantine going from Port Vale to Barnsley is not a step up as they will be down where they belong next season so the move is not a step up for long....but yes they can pay more than us but I don't think that's relevant
