I don’t think it would be a marriage made in heaven if Sharp did join us but, in his defence, he has had to take some carp from an element of our support. It’s bad enough when unsavoury chants are aimed at him from a crowd but it’s a whole lot worse when it’s an individual shouting something as he’s trying to board the team coach (I assume that is the incident folk are referring to).

For me his reaction just showed a nasty streak and a lack of any of intelligence. Edited July 31, 2023 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think players get a lot of nonsense to deal with. I’ve heard some pensioners near me shouting some pretty offensive things. On a bad day we might all react badly (though hopefully not violently). I’d take Sharp, as long as we keep this guy away from him. SKRam, Tamworthram and nogbad van 50 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 So you want this bloke wearing our shirt, and representing our club saying this sort of crap? sorry not for me, nil class, not one iota Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 This would be magnitudes worse than when we signed Savage. Say it ain't so. strawhillram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 He is 37 years old. He was past his best three prime ministers ago. I’d rather we didn’t sign anyone and just gave Brown a chance than waste a space on the bench with a bloke who absolutely would not want to be there anyway.

I really, really, still can’t see it, but If Warne does actually sign Sharp it will only reinforce my belief that he has seriously limited managerial and coaching abilities, that will only ever get him personally as high in the footballing pyramid as that of a ‘bottom 6 Championship scrapper’.

Ram1988 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I actually think he would score goals and do a good job for a club in league one. I just can't see it being us given the history he has with the fans. Where as Waggy has a genuine affection for the club. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyAleMan Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 No way do I want Billy Sharp at the club, he hates us with a passion, and i really think he would give us nothing off the bench or starting, much prefer Collins, Washington, and even Waghorn, please do not sign Billy Sharp, it would be a bad fit for all concern.

FKANorwichExile Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Even if the stuff with the fans (and him being a Bamford) didn't exist, I'd *still* be against this sort of signing. At least Savage put himself about, Sharp hasn't chased a ball in anger in about 4 years. Can't we dig Mikkel Beck up?

oldtimeram Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) He should frig off and not come anywhere near the club. I'll not back him. He should go forth and multiply as far as I'm concerned. Edited July 31, 2023 by oldtimeram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"She said no Billy...she said no", "Derby boys are on a bender, Billy Sharp is a sex offender" and "Paedo paedo paedo". These were even sung on Saturday without him on the pitch or even playing for them anymore. Openly mocked him for his baby son dying on social media and aimed similar themed chants at him. This, despite the club wearing black armbands for his family grieving and Sharp thanking the club. Taken any chance to send abusive messages to him on social media (see recent tweet examples), and in the open (see video) due to his dislike of the two above points. He's well within his rights to dislike this and give back. I'm sure 99% of people if given the same torrent of abuse he's had off a loud but small minority here for many years, would react similarly as he has. To hate him as he simply has human feelings is quite harsh. Foreveram, DCFC1388, Arsene Titman and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I agree that behaviour on social media is unacceptable, as are the chants related to his personal life. Completely of limits for me. Please note that I don’t do social media (this is as close as I get) i had a short stint on Twitter but found it so toxic I left. Although having said that your recent examples are rather weak, if I had a few quid for every time someone called me a fatty I would be quite well off… But what was his excuse for what is the potential run of the mill “sledging” that the Wrexham players (allegedly) gave him and his team mates? It’s not just Derby he doesn’t like. if he can’t cope with that (and his interview suggested not) then like I said he does not have the correct temperament or intelligence. I played my first senior game at 16 or 17. When I shook the hand of one (very large) player, he pulled me towards him and said in low tones “I am going to break your ducking legs in about 5 minutes”. What did I do? I kicked him first within 3. Beat them on the pitch and you don’t need to do what he does, they’re is such a thing as a bad winner, and he is one… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
