Re: Mike Garlick on 'Turf More'
To be fair to Garlick, perhaps he didn't know that the "rules of language" have changed as it is (apparently) no longer appropriate to use "apartheid" in the same terms as it was, say, 10 years ago. 10 years ago terms such as "cultural apartheid" could be used, for example in describing the situation where richer children are listening to more classical music etc. than poorer children. This was said by Sir Richard Eyre (National Theatre) and reported (without criticism of the choice of language) in the Guardian. It wasn't controversial.Spiral wrote:F'k sake. Right, going to need to watch this now. Yo can't go trivialising a horrible political system that trampled over people, reducing its overbearing and oppressive manifestation to a mere component of 'market dynamics'. FWIW, I'm a fan of Garlick and like how he's running the club.
It's a bit like the game of statues. Someone says "cultural apartheid is an evil term and must not be used", and the one who doesn't hear the message and says it again, is out of the game.

Probably because he has two years left on his contract.MACCA wrote:Leeds must be crackers ( and loaded ) if they received a bid for 20m for a player out of contract in 10 months and didn't sell.
Also BFC equally may have been called crackers bidding 20m for a player out of contract in 10 months time.
I think theres a few porkies being told, and also a few "the one that got away tales" to keep people happy/content.
I think it's quite obvious what the plan was/is, and I'd say it's been another success in terms of business for the excellent business man that is Mr Garlick.
Well done.
Long may he reign.

Ooooooh, only Mike Garlic can truly clear up his intent but I think you're suffering from a metaphor failure here.agreenwood wrote:The best bit is when he likens very wealthy Premier League clubs like ourselves to the repression of black Africans.
For example, if I describe Dwight McNeil as being "like lightning" would you imagine that I am trying to imply that he is:
a) very fast
or
b) is potentially fatal to come into contact with because he contains a very large electrical voltage
Perhaps, if we consider Mike Garlic's metaphor in a better context and consider it with a full quote we could better decide whether he was trying to imply that:
a) there are different options available for the "haves" and "have nots" of football teams and that, just like in the/an apartheid system, it doesn't matter so much as what you do but rather it unfortunately it matters who you are
or
b) he wanted to compare our "plight" to the repression of black Africans?
For sure, perhaps it's a clumsy choice of metaphor and wording but I know what I think he intended it to mean.

So there is not one then? It was widely reported in the press that there was. For Tarks. I would be surprised and delighted if we got him to sign a 4 year deal without one . If we did why the hell would we contemplate selling him?ClaretTony wrote:What release clause?
Like every other claret I just want what's best for BFC going forwards. Someone like Philips ( young strong good on the ball) remains essential. We have bought some time wirh a loan but the bullet will have to be bitten soon.

Not sure an actual bid went in. Phillips were on his way to Villa for £20M which was accepted. He actually went down to Villa to look at houses but he pulled out last minute. Bielsa offered him captaincy to stay, turned it down but said he would resign a new contract in September. Doesn’t get his signing on fee from his last contract till September.

Re: Mike Garlick on 'Turf More'
Spot on. People should get a grip of semantics - apartheid became synonymous with the system in South Africa but the meaning is simply, as you say, separation and as such there was no problem with him using it. It's like using the word 'phobic' after terms like homo or Islam, the term means FEAR not HATRED, i don't know how these terms ever became accepted in everyday usage.Bin Ont Turf wrote:I'll just clear a few things up for the absolute dummies we get on here.

There is also the fact that we do not know what it is like in the Premier League meetings with the big six, those that pushed for a greater share of the overseas money because they are the ones that earn it, and use dirty tricks like the threat of a Super League to get their own way.
We do know they have their own exclusive club that get together often, we also know that Susan Dinnage met with them after it was announced she would replace Richard Scudamore, we also know that she very quickly decided that she could not work with them and resigned before she started at the Premier League. A minority that seeks to control money, decision making and policy while restricting access to their elite - sure sounds like an apartheid type system to most people - without any need to say it is the same as that we saw in South Africa and it's environs

Re: Mike Garlick on 'Turf More'
I think it's pretty clear that the guy in question was Phillips from Leeds and although he appears to be an excellent prospect and something of rising star, even £20 million is an absolute shed load in our position for someone with PL "potential" and imo it was quite right to draw the line where we did. I genuinely hoped we'd get him and believed he'd be a great addition to our midfield, but if for whatever reason he didn't make the necessary strides and step up as people THINK he can then we'd have chucked an awful lot of dry powder at it. Too much tbh.
