Anyone wanting a course How Not To Make Friends will be kicking themselves if they missed Ken Bodfish's bodged speech to the Albion faithful at Saturday's championship celebrations.
In 30 seconds, without charisma and panache, he managed to both patronise and alienate the thousands wearing blue and white.
Starting by telling us to shut up and listen to him, he then delivered an extraordinary concoction of mixed messages. "No one knows what's going to happen," seemed to be the theme.
Leadership of the lowest order. Incidentally, why did he address the crowd anyway? Shouldn't it have been a duty of the mayor?
The city is crying out for a stadium. If there isn't the leadership to do it, councillor Bodfish won't have many friends at the next council elections.
