Poll result: Lawwell v the legend

The voting has closed on our poll asking fans whose side they were on in the recent spat between Peter Lawwell and Charlie Nicholas.

A respectable 271 votes were cast and the results are as follows:

  • Charlie Nicholas – 12% (32 votes)
  • Peter Lawwell – 84% (228 votes)
  • Neutral – 4% (11 votes)
(figures rounded to nearest whole number)

Lawwell took an early lead, which he never seriously looked like losing, hovering around the 90% mark in the early voting before dipping back slightly. However a late rally saw Charlie peg the Chief Exec back, peaking at just under 12% of the votes as the poll closed.

So, regardless of any grievances or reservations over recent policy decisions, our straw poll nevertheless strongly backs Lawwell against this particular media attack.

The only other thing to say is how flattered we are that Charlie Nicholas has visited the blog more than 30 times in the last week.

No surprise. I'm still taken aback that people are annoyed at ex-celts in the media and what they say.

Nicholas is just a Murdoch mouthpiece paid to bemoan the Scottish game, look stupid on Soccer Saturday as their ex-arsenal player and be a 'cult' hero (some would say another c-word right enough) on Soccer AM.

Wind and pish.
