Charlie Stillitano Backtracking

[Dan]

Just listened to what he said and to be honest, whilst I think he comes across as quite a genuinely entertaining bloke, I still don't entirely believe him. He was a bit like a politician, although he's quite clever in the way he does it.

 

I'm very cynical but I don't trust the bloke if I'm totally honest.

 

But I will give him the fact he's an American who can pronounce Leicester

I'd like to hear the original  radio clip, as things can come across differently in print. But regardless if his quotes were merely observations of what other people are thinking and saying, it would appear that his organisation is entirely geared towards the money.

 

He may have been misquoted and there may have been an over-reaction, but he hasn't really done anything to recommend himself as far as I can tell.

[Foxxed]

Either he's understood the appeal of football outside the big four or so teams.

Or he's worked out his best PR strategy.

**** 'im.

I suppose he's got to talk us up now that he's stuck with us in his 'elite' competition this summer. Wish Ghent was coming with us. 

[Clever Fox]

Now that he's realised that we're really a big club in waiting he's trying to back track.

He definitely sounds like he was pandering and kissing our ass. If he was truly misquoted, then he deserves a pass in my book. If he said he's all for a closed league where teams like Leicester are not welcomed, then he deserves the flak he's gotten. Having the context of the original audio would go a long way to seeing where the truth lies.

 

I thought the anti-american outcry when the story broke was ludicrous, that somehow a radio DJ that's connected with a pre-season tournament speaks for the millions of american soccer fans. It's like if Ian Stringer came out and said something dumb, and we used it as a broad brush to paint everything wrong with British fans.

I didn't care much for that reaction either, though I suppose it was bound to happen as his suggestion of a locked system is quintessentially American. It was like he was trying to be the stereotypical villain. Imagine the uproar if a British businessman working in baseball started suggesting tea breaks, or that the Braves, Reds and Phillies should have been relegated to the minor league last season. You'd find Mini Coopers across the country getting their windows smashed out.
