James. Posted 2 September 2007 Posted 2 September 2007 with Milan Mandaric. I'd like to say we had an in-depth chat about the recent events and who he had in mind as the new manager but in honesty I just stood there and stared at him and his nice blue suit. A few supporters had a quick chat, a shake of the hand and a photo. He seemed very approachable (well, he was hardly going to tell us to f**k off) and did his autograph duties with a smile on his face. The "Martin, Martin Allen" chants coming from a couple of Plymouth supporters didn't go down too well and as the train pulled into the station he walked off towards first class leaving me wondering why the hell he was using public transport in the first place (where's this £25 million eh?!). Still, it's another spurious claim to fame to add to the list and a welcome end to the day. Anyone else on the platform at the same time? It was while waiting for the 17:54 to London Paddington.
Monk Posted 2 September 2007 Posted 2 September 2007 Wish i'd come with you now! Would have been interesting to talk to him. Though why he's getting a train completely defies me.
Joe. Posted 2 September 2007 Posted 2 September 2007 Wish i'd come with you now! Would have been interesting to talk to him. Though why he's getting a train completely defies me. So we weren't good enough eh?
Monk Posted 2 September 2007 Posted 2 September 2007 So we weren't good enough eh? Well, the 'bring a hat fest' was quite fun I must say, and I can now say I've worn a fez in Plymouth and in a tesco service station in Oxford Maybe we could have offered milan a lift? SUre he could have squeezed in, and for sure he'd have loved the hats.

Unit Posted 2 September 2007 Posted 2 September 2007 That's wicked, didn't he fly the team down to plymouth last year (just after he'd taken over?). I'm suprised mandaric didn't get there and back in his own plane/helicopter/jetpack.
Ultra Posted 2 September 2007 Posted 2 September 2007 Wish i'd come with you now! Would have been interesting to talk to him. Though why he's getting a train completely defies me. Possibly because he still has a car with a PFC number plate?
Floating Fox Posted 2 September 2007 Posted 2 September 2007 Standing on the platform at Plymouth train station.....having a wank?
JoeyB Posted 2 September 2007 Posted 2 September 2007 Quality, getting rid of Allen meant they couldnt get the plane back this time
potter3 Posted 2 September 2007 Posted 2 September 2007 Standing on the platform at Plymouth train station.....having a wank? Speak for yourself
Tommy G Posted 2 September 2007 Posted 2 September 2007 As has been said....it beggers belief that MM was using the bloody train back to Leicester?? Was he on his own or did he have an entourage with him?
Raj Posted 3 September 2007 Posted 3 September 2007 MM owns that train. He leased it out to Midland Mainline(or which ever rail company was using it at the time) FACT.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 3 September 2007 Posted 3 September 2007 As has been said....it beggers belief that MM was using the bloody train back to Leicester?? Was he on his own or did he have an entourage with him? I heard it was a look a like, Busking for money.
James. Posted 3 September 2007 Author Posted 3 September 2007 He was all on his own. To be fair it's probably a load quicker to travel by train assuming he wasn't going to bust out the private helicopter or jet. I did overhear him saying "blah blah Leicester, blah London" so sounded like he was doing a fair bit of travelling...
Geo V Posted 3 September 2007 Posted 3 September 2007 Did anyone Happy Slap him? It would have made good viewing on Soccer AM.
Ric Flair Posted 3 September 2007 Posted 3 September 2007 Mandaric often travelled by train to Leicester games when he was trying to buy the club. A few fans were on the train there and back with him. If he had a bit of business to attend to in London that night, then it probably explains it.
Raj Posted 3 September 2007 Posted 3 September 2007 If he had a bit of business to attend to in London that night, then it probably explains it. He's going to get Martin JOl!!!!
Geo V Posted 3 September 2007 Posted 3 September 2007 He's going to get Martin JOl!!!! According to some of my mates down here who support Spurs (and by owning a season ticket they tell me they are in the know), Martin Jol will be at the club for immediate future. Apparently some of the directors want him out but he will be given a chance to turn it around over the next month or so. Its totally contrary to reports in the media today who say he will get sacked this week How he copes with a £3m transfer kitty as opposed to the £40m he spent this season, only he knows! Apparently, Spurs are the 3rd highest spenders in the prem over the last 3 years behind Chelski and Manure?!
Neil982 Posted 3 September 2007 Posted 3 September 2007 with Milan Mandaric.He walked off towards first class leaving me wondering why the hell he was using public transport in the first place (where's this £25 million eh?!). He probably heard what happened to Matthew Harding!
