Still raises a smile. Didn't Gibson send the guy's kids' team some shirts as well?

Fair play for the club to send him a reply, lovely stuff.

Can you ever see Reading FC responding in a similar manner?

I remember that. :lol:

Boyd Butler also had a pop at Shades and myself for knocking up some half-arsed RFC desktop wallpapers.

It's sadly ironic that his tagline is "Finding, getting, keeping and growing customers. That's what I do."

Dangerous got a letter from the club when he applied for the job when Pards walked.

It was a bit more 'professional' though...

I always thought he was one of the most horrible pcunts ever to work for RFC and that linkedin profile has duly confirmed it.

Fcuk me,

Look at the first entry:

Company Store Manager Bodyshop International
Cosmetics industry

July 1988 – July 1990 (2 years 1 month)

Anita Roddick asked me to run her King's Road store. How could I refuse? A bundle of laughs, a great experience and what a fantastic entrepreneur. I am sad that she is gone, but a tremendous influence on me and many others.

Alway thought he was a tosser.

"Portakabin to Premier League Kid" is how I have been christened by the football industry. (People older than me!)

Pardew blamed me for the rumours about Nicky Forster and that it was upsetting him...... :|

Boyd then contacted me, saying i was no longer welcome at the training ground or stadium and would be thrown out if caught. So i called him "Boyd the pcunt" and made a little photoshop of him (Mags might remember this)

I love the implication that he was responsible for Madejski's business success.

If that's based on member card holders, then I could see how he could justify that.

I've given Boyd's LinkedIn profile a bit more exposure on the team board. Dirk and Snowball have inexplicably come out in support of him.

It's more the claim that he was responsible for this that I had the issue with
