Re: Brandon Williams
Read through this piece maybe two, three times and can't quite work out what the f*ck the issue is here. Too many deviating paths leading away from any truth or what would appear fact rather than conjecture.
Best you could ascertain, (began with) Williams made some remark on some faceless media page, somebody took offense and toys came out the stroller. Age we live in now, it's a damn pity but nothing new. After that, the road to truth took on too many twists and turns to maybe care or discover who or what were in the wrong.
Suppose the kid did upset some people by way of berating another club or finding fun in their misfortune, it hardly warrants any disciplinary action from the manager or our team set-up. What they going do, terminate his contract because of some such indiscretion. Surely not
Don't keep up with all playing personnel we got like some others but seems Williams has been prone to some unsavory incidents throughout a career. Maybe minor things, maybe they were more damaging, but point being some can argue it doesn't set a very good example.
Guess all told it's an issue involving his previous employers where they want him back, on loan after all. Only been with us a short time, hardly featured. This story would hold more intrigue if it were a long-serving established member of the squad with years of first team experience, not someone we took on board since five minutes or something. Hard or even unnecessary to add much more to it.

My friend who lives in Manchester told me just now that BW has been in Manchester for SB Charltons funeral! So maybe that’s where he’s been?

Re: Brandon Williams
The thing is, as we all know one bad Apple can most definitely rot the whole barrell, we have something really good going here and the close knit squad is very much a big part of that, add to that Williams has become an integral part of our team in a very small space of time so tbh I definitely do give a damn if there is something in this story/rumour, his past hardly lends itself to thinking otherwise. Hopefully though on this occasion I hope it is nothing more than idle chit chat.

Re: Brandon Williams
Do get that, but todays “ways” of getting to truth are so so wrong and it’ll never be sorted due to Fkfacebook and other media outlets. Too many people with too much time on their hands creating “stuff”.
In this instance, there will be rumour believers thinking the absolute worst case scenario, then a day later, the lad is pictured in a joke sock pic. . Its not right.
But i do get that twats unsettle things, ie, Chopra, Bullard etc etc.

Re: Brandon Williams
Agree. Williams has been one of the biggest signings since we were promoted, and his loss would be significant.Bluemike wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 6:39 amThe thing is, as we all know one bad Apple can most definitely rot the whole barrell, we have something really good going here and the close knit squad is very much a big part of that, add to that Williams has become an integral part of our team in a very small space of time so tbh I definitely do give a damn if there is something in this story/rumour, his past hardly lends itself to thinking otherwise.

Brandon williams is a solid defender, will be a massive loss if he's leaving us,just hope it's just a load of nonsense, this talk of him being naughty.

So what are the latest rumours on this guy? Is it gambling debts now?

Re: Brandon Williams
From what I've heard he is actually Delia's 48 year old Nigerian grandson, who is working for her as a mole to pay off his gambling debts, whilst also running County line drug deals throughout Sulfolk and Norfolk using local kids and squirrels. He's failed multiple drugs test while at Town, but because he was born a woman they can't actually ban him as it would be a public relations nightmare, partly because they don't know which pronoun to use in the press release, but also because he identifies as innocent. And he's been seen talking to the local sheep with no shoes on... but that's just what I've heard?

Re: Brandon Williams
Hopefully all the rumours are rubbish as we know before Town sign any player they look very carefully into the players lifestyle etc but KMc knew him from his Man U days, he certainly did not play very well in his last appearance.

What's it got to do with you that I am laughing? Yep f*ck all, the last time you hung around here you were a bit of a tit so don't start again.mendipblue wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 8:22 pmWhy you laughing? You suggested "heavies" had turned up at the training ground. Please explain your information
FWiW I haven't "suggested" anything, I merely divulged something I was told, it is a forum after all, I actually said it could well be nothing more than a rumour if you read it correctly.

Nice, thanks for clearing that up in such a eloquent way. So it's BS. Why mention it if there are know facts?

Who says it's BS ? It may well be but who knows, if everything has to be facts there wouldn't be an awful lot discussed on here really. Why have you removed your sarcastic post aimed at HallamBlue by the way ?

I don’t know about anyone else, but I want to hear the rumours. It’s a forum not a newspaper, even though the media doesn’t base anything on facts anymore anyway.

Re: Brandon Williams
Truth vs rumour and social media scuttle but…….yawn!
Williams IS a good player, who should improve our squad, and give KM a bit of in depth quality. Would assume much was known about the player’s personality and ‘history’ before he was brought in by KM/MA; both have stated how important conducting thorough due diligence is before anyone joins the squad. Assume that would have been true for BW.
If, however, his conduct had fallen below the club’s highest standards - currently unknown or unproven - then he’s breached his employment contract and should be shot at dawn very day for a week!

If he’s done something significantly naughty I can’t believe he’d still be at the club though.

Agree! Zero tolerance or risk to squad harmony. Of course, if he’s been really naughty he might find himself in a slightly different, more restrictive, environment altogether! Seriously doubt it, though.hallamblue wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 1:41 pmIf he’s done something significantly naughty I can’t believe he’d still be at the club though.

Re: Brandon Williams
Too much ambiguity. Seems like something of a riddle. What I can't understand (being) whatever Williams has done wrong or placed himself in jeopardy why can't those who go to the games regular or even meet the staff and club personnel (Loud and Proud for instance) provide insight or the correct explanation as to what the issue is here. What is it some kind of secret or need to know information. Have the club even issued a statement or maybe the issue doesn't warrant that kind of attention.
Not really desperate to find out just kind of frustrated it's sort of dragging on and you can't get an answer from what should be a simple query or news item. Unless of course Williams has done something really reprehensible and it can't be known or discussed but somehow think that really isn't an option. Why not just disclose any damn information and we can move on, may have mentioned it once before, but if it's still ongoing it can only raise the relevance of people wanting answers.
Defense is one area of the team not always up on, can recognize midfield and attack much more clearly, goalkeepers with it. People say Williams is a valuable asset to the team in his natural position and I won't dispute. Can't really criticize players in that particular area that (I) don't share the same knowledge as with others in the team but final time just kind of wish for the issue of reprimands and (whatever he's supposed to have done) to be cleared up and resolved once and for all.

I don’t think LoudnProud even goes to watch the team anymore …. Hasn’t done so for several years now. I’m also not sure how much real interaction he ever had with ITFC staff lol!

Re: Brandon Williams
Liz, I've wondered about Dave's whereabouts as well I believe he just keeps a low profile these days, he had his own Taxi business, but the last time I saw Dave was when we all went to the Fortuna Dusseldorf game a few years back, I take it he still goes to games would be nice for him to come on here and chat to us allhallamblue wrote: ↑Mon Jan 01, 2024 10:11 amI don’t think LoudnProud even goes to watch the team anymore ….

Re: Brandon Williams
Did you? Yes he would come for that game because he’s friends with one of two of those German fans, (Freddie ) and He went over to Germany when we first started to get friendly with their fans. So him being here for that game wouldnt surprise me. How long ago was that game AM?

Also saw LoudnProud, who was there with them - another missed member on this forum (not active since 2020). He is one of the few forum members I have had the pleasure to meet, the first time when a group of us met up at PR, probably about 15 years ago.

Re: Brandon Williams
Ah well he is still about then … he used to stand behind me n Mike in SBRL, but like I say I’ve not seen him there for years now.
