Cuprabob Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Yes - I agree too! I really hope that the Bid wins favour - 3pm today is the result being announced, correct? :znalika: 3pm, today, is my understanding as well. If they win it, it was the best bid, if they lose the other guys paid a higher bribe:roflmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP27 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 if they lose the other guys paid a higher bribe:roflmao: Absolutely - could not believe the Panorama programme.

Calm Chris Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Eventually he we get knighted- Sir and Lady Posh, then maybe one day it will be Lord and Lady Posh. I really like the lad, but........... I have my reservations about him being knighted, it sort of seems wrong for a man who once kept his brains in his feet and has no style sense regarding body inking. I will be the 1st to applaud his efforts, win or loose the bid. Although I'd imagine having the Seb Coe roll regarding 2018 England does give him something to do for work, since the play days have to stop in a year or so.

Mook Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 But hasn't Beckham become a fantastic ambassador for the sport and the UK? And his football academy etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 But hasn't Beckham become a fantastic ambassador for the sport and the UK? And his football academy etc? Absolutely. His role in this has been outstanding and I'll feel for him if we don't get it. Incidentally, Radio 5 Live have just reported that the decision is delayed. Voting is still in progress and they don't know how long the delay will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP27 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 But hasn't Beckham become a fantastic ambassador for the sport and the UK? And his football academy etc? Yes - someone, somewhere (in his Management team) has turned him into a very effective article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TP27 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Sounds like you're loathe to pay the guy a compliment... I've just watched his presentation - it's very good, delivered from the heart but written for him. I'm not loathed to pay him a compliment, if this Bid wins, he and others have played a blinder over the past three days, against all odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 And if the bid doesn't? Will it be down to Beckham doing a duff job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP27 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 And if the bid doesn't? Will it be down to Beckham doing a duff job? Not at all - he's a pawn in the Bid effort game, in the Bid team for a purpose. Don't get me wrong, I'm not "anti-Beckham" at all, I just recognise that he's there for a reason.
