Mercer 4761 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 IMO, utterly unconvincing. Have come across him on a couple of occasions and was completely underwhelmed. I'm a great believer in the 7/11 rule and I don't think it let me down! I wouldn't trust this guy as far as I could spit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matt83 2980 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 https://youtu.be/ZDOI0cq6GZM Just swap Lyle lanley for Steve waggott and the monorail for training ground (not just any training ground a state of the art fully integrated training ground) and I imagine this is how swag wants the residents consultation meeting to go down.

Effectively the theory that subconsciously you make 11 decisions about a person in the first 7 seconds after meeting them. Based on intelligence, appearance, etc. * or 7 decision in first 11 seconds. One or the other. Waggott certainly isn’t someone who you’d likely be impressed by. Strikes me as someone who you’d like to buy a hot drink and sandwich for even though he’ll be a millionaire Edited February 26 by matt83 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Miller11 2877 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Two quotes from Waggott just over a year ago at the last consultation meeting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I meet someone, I usually form an opinion of them very quickly - within 30 seconds. To a degree it's 'gut feel' but in reality, it has rarely let me down! The 7/11 rule is similar but quicker! The theory / rule is that within 7 seconds you will form up to 11 impressions of someone including desirability (likeability), credibility, trustworthiness, believability, sophistication, competence etc. Once heard an American speaker on the subject and he reckoned some 80% of Americans form a first impression of somebody within seconds before they even speak! It's fascinating stuff and in the cold light of day, pretty sure many of us can relate to it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A couple to go with here: eyes not looking at interviewer and moving constantly = both unsure & telling fibs and at 4.20 min when the 'houses' topic first appears (houses = cash) lip licking = hmmmm tasty, I'll have a piece of that. I could go on and be more academic about it but why bother. A spiv is a spiv. Edited February 26 by AllRoverAsia Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Miller11 2877 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Waggott also touched on a grant application for work at the BRIC. Plans were approved by BWDC for floodlit Astro pitches there back in 2015. This will obviously have to be a community facility, but I could see them trying to move the younger academy age groups up there... making a mockery of the all under one roof claim, jeapordising our cat 1 status, and failing to meet the terms on which any grant would be awarded.

Proudtobeblue&white 1397 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Can't bear the agony of watching a liar lie, that's why I've stopped watching any tory cabinet minister. Waggott is in it only for himself. The Loons are very rich people, fund a pitch worth playing on, fund a proper manager, and management structure and keep the training facilities. Otherwise fuck off. There's no point carrying on as it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe this 'Idea' has come from elsewhere (dare i say Venkys?) and Waggott has been tasked with going forward with it but knows deep down that its got no chance of getting the green light ?

It's fascinating stuff and in the cold light of day, pretty sure many of us can relate to it! We certainly all do it (maybe not those exact judgements in that exact timeframe but I get the idea). I do it, and I'm usually right, but the thing I've learnt is it's foolish to assume you were right and not be willing to change your opinion on someone. It's not an exact science. I think we probably all called Waggott right though...oozes slime. 1 hour ago, AllRoverAsia said: A couple to go with here: eyes not looking at interviewer and moving constantly = both unsure & telling fibs and at 4.20 min when the 'houses' topic first appears (houses = cash) lip licking = hmmmm tasty, I'll have a piece of that. I could go on and be more academic about it but why bother. A spiv is a spiv. The lip-licking is probably more a response to a dry mouth, itself sometimes a sign of nervousness, itself sometimes a sign of lying out your arse. Again, not always the way though.

tomphil 13944 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) It's an over ambitious plan for a side piddling about in midtable in the championship. All the clubs efforts and focus should be directed towards trying to get promotion, even a play off or 3 would rake in extra cash. It really sounds to me like another fanciful plan sold to the owners with big promises of things to come. All part of this 'journey' sales pitch you might say. Get to the Prem the running costs would be covered or there'd be finance to do the project. Until then it would be better left alone its got crackpot scheme written all over it when you consider the last 10 years. Edited February 26 by tomphil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also love the way he talks about 'Jack', who he obviously never met and is clearly not fit to lace the boots of. Arsehole. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
