There's something mentally fragile about Flickers. It's like he needs to "believe" in something. But - "the bury brand" ? Come on.
It's the same thing you get on your doorstep from Jehovah's Witnesses. Same thing as the Moonies. A load of bloody eyewash.
Said on another thread, but I fear for him. When people feel the need to "buy into" something, it's a sign that something's not quite right. And when it all goes tit's up, as it inevitably will, what are you left with? Basically, the feeling that you've been bought. |  |

It is the same guff we had to listen to.
"these are a special group of human beings, and we have to treat them as such"
So they refurbished the gym, the dressing room, bought a new high end team coach and travelled to away games via the air. The club spent a fortune on training days at St George's Park, as Flicker thought that our own state of the art Academy complex and training facilities (including 4G pitches) were too 'familiar' for the players, that Oakwell should only be used on matchdays. He took a lot of training sessions in Bolton, or at Carrington, Manchester. He referred to conversations with "Brendan Rodgers.. Robbie Martinez and Sir Alex" incessantly. He didn't do so in an effort to get folk to assume he was respected. They just happened to be best pals with a nobody.
Of course, this had nothing at all to do with him and his staff, plus most of the players residing in that area of the country. Oh no, it was necessary for this 'group' to 'synergise' effectively and for the 'Barnsley Brand' to flourish...
He's of course, seeing better results at League Two Bury using this same method, with a chairman who doesn't seem as fussed about where the money is going. I'd be astonished if he didn't lead them to the title, such is their massive advantage over everybody else with the quality of players recruited, money spent etc.
Thing is, he was making a right good fist of managing in the Championship in his first few months. Before he stumbled upon this project. You know, when he just picked the best players in each position, told them to go out and play direct, attacking football, when he had no transfer budget or ability to sign players. His 60% win ratio in that spell, the optimism amongst the fanbase and the total backing he had from the board and that fanbase, well, it wasn't enough and so we got the 'project', the 'brand', the 'tippy tappa' football, the inability to win a game and the 'pass it to Paddy' tactic. He soon got his P45 and I think it's a shame. Somebody needed to just have a word. But, I think the BFC board were just waiting for him to make a mess of things so they could get rid. I mean, I can't blame em. Imagine him talking guff at you every day like that.
Good luck to him and Bury. They'll need it, in time. |  | | |

If necessary we'll keep Whitey in line ourselves, thanks. What was wrong with his appraisal of Flitcroft's time at Barnsley? What happened there was totally mystifying. Everything he got spectacularly right was only surpassed by how badly he messed it all up again. Harsh sacking? Hardly. |  |

Let me get this straight I have little time for flickers.
Its the fact he comes on here playing up to the dale audience, then goes on Bury message board and does the same. Who wants to be liked that much? | | | |

Is the answer Stewart Day?
What's wrong with being liked? Admittedly it's never been anything I've ever had to worry about, but it's ok for some. Anyway, Whitey can't be accused of it either; there's plenty of threads on here which illustrate he's one for creating debate. Nowt wrong with that. | |

I've said from day one that its very transparent, its like Flitcroft isn't believing himself in this "project" it just seems fake. Every article that Flitcroft gives now is the same, trying to promote the "Bury brand" and having to buy into the project etc, I wonder how much he believes in it himself. |  |

If he doesn't, then neither will the players.
Flicker's no con man - just the opposite, he's probably too honest for his own good. So the only conclusion is that he does believe in all this "brand" stuff. Or guff, as Whitey calls it.
That's what's so sad, because he has a special place in the hearts of Dale fans. Luckily, he has a good friend in Hilly, who should see him right. | |

It seems we are failing to give the mercurial Mr Day insufficient credit (arf!) in terms of his business acumen.
Who'd have thought of talking to airlines and obtaining discounts for a group booking?
He doesn't just provide budget accommodation and car parking, he's now invented budget air travel.
The guy is a genius.
Ryanair and EasyJet, take heed and revise your business models. |  |

It's all so believable.
"We're going to take away some of your potential earnings in order to sign players who might be playing instead of you. That OK?"
"Yes boss."
Not buying into it Flicker, not for one second mate. |  |

Tha talking tripe, pal. Sorry.
I joined up to the Bury forum to wish you well, but to give you a Barnsley perspective of the myriad players once employed at Oakwell and of course, Flicker and his staff. I think I was fair enough in everything I said initially. And, the majority on there took it as such - just a Barnsley supporters perspective.
However, a couple of posters on there know me from this forum. And so they assumed things. That I was a Dale lover and Bury hater. I tried to explain that wasn't the case and all I got was a bunch of uneducated, unintelligible and abuse ridden posts. And so I chalked feck on the exercise.
Trust me, had I wanted to join your forum and play the knut, I'm more than capable. I could have (still could) open a right can of worms regards certain employees at Gigg Lane. But I'm not that way out now. I've got past the angry stage regards what occurred last year. I see Flicker and co more as figures of fun now. I feel sad/sorry for em more than owt.
As for you lot, the supporters, I've not had the pleasure (?) of your time for long enough to judge, but if the odd pillock who come on here are a fair representation of your fanbase then I'm happy that I stopped trying to engage on your forum.
I don't though play up to audiences. Hence, I'm Whitey on every forum I go on. I'm Whitey on twitter. Whitey to my mates. I'm also exactly the same wherever I am. And when I meet folk in person, I'm Whitey.
I admit to being a bit of a rambler, verbose posts etc, and I am capable of taking the piss and stirring shit now and again, but hey, that's me. But I take the stick I get, and vice versa.
Akinfenwa eh? Beast mode did for the special humans and brand Bury project. Who'd have thunk it? But here, at least Flicker isn't signing 'space'. | | | |

You've met me, pal. You know I couldn't give a toss whether I'm liked. In fact, if folk read all my posts on the various forums/twitter etc the last thing you'd conclude would be "this lad wants to be liked". I'm quite often an annoying twwat. Like yourself, pal.

Enjoyed the comment at the bottom of the article supposedly from a "minor shareholder" who manages to thank "Gary Flitcroft" for all his work.
