Tim Spiers

[Green Wolf]

So farewell Tim Spiers. I have to say I've enjoyed your coverage. And your odd partnership with the even odder Nathan Judah has really grown on me. Best wishes for your next venture and I'm glad you'll still be covering Wolves!

Btw, does anybody know who will be replacing him at the E&S?

 

[Scott in the Sand]

His sister Britney.




Oops, I did it again.

 

[oldgoldheart]

I like the spiers/judah videos and will miss them. Likely to get a pretty average replacement as local papers are virtually bankrupt these days

Isn’t it Joe Edwards?

 

[Bob Wolf]

All the best Tim. I will miss the videos and podcasts - despite what our resident feline friend has to say!

Where's he going?

 

[Wonder Boyo]

Where's he going?

The Athletic

 

[Bill S Preston Esq.]

Judah and Spiers have managed something that's not easy. They've managed to inform and entertain. Ok so the info they impart isn't particularly exclusive but they're a great double act, I'll miss 'em.

Disagree. They weren't like Bully and Mutch or Morecambe and Wise.

Agreed. I’ll miss them.

 

[Deleted member 4152]

An arrogant **** IMO, and Judah is as bad.

And me

Still whimsical though.

But miles better than Ant and Dec -the new Morecambe and Wise so I keep being told

 

[RuncornWolf]

And me

Likewise

 

[Incognito]

I reckon we could find a pair on 'The Mix' that'd beat Judah/Britney act hands-down! Goodbye Britney - going to The Athletic - ironic for a fat *******!

 

[Floyd Man]

In the age of social media he's done a fine Job. Although many of us hanker after the days of David Instone's reports in the E&S and the Pink the role has changed beyond recognition. He's managed to put the Wolves story out there through a number of outlets in a new age. I wish him well.

 

[Deleted member 4152]

Never took to him mate. How a ‘reporter’ for the E&S can be so arrogant is beyond me. I have met genuine superstars with, a lot, less arrogance than him.

I just like their post match banter that’s all

Wigan or Oldham?

Won’t be missed

Anyone is better than those two geordie twerps!

 

[Bahama Wolf]

Will miss you Tim for sure, all the best at TA

 

[Monketron]

Loved watching their pre and post-match videos. I highly doubt his replacement will be as fun or as well spoken. I watch their Villa and WBA videos sometimes and it really makes you appreciate how easy Tim makes talking on camera look.

 

[Guzeppi]

Who?

 

[Oldspice58]

Disagree. They weren't like Bully and Mutch or Morecambe and Wise.

More like the journalistic equivalent of "Saint and Greavsie"....info with loffs! Although I guess not everyone's cup of tea judging by some of the posts on here

 

[NewarkWolf]

They're hardly new..... Been around 20 odd years!

 

[NewarkWolf]

I not a fan but how anyone can say there not successful given they're longevity and success is beyond me.

 

[Shifnal Wolf]

Unlike Judah he chose not to engage with fans on social media, I don’t think this helped his popularity stakes.

I respect him for not blabbing out any transfer gossip, which again caused frustration with some fans.

The athletic seem to be recruiting a fair few
journalists, so fair play to him for making a better life for himself.

 

[ShropshireLad]

Much as I liked his reports, I just wish that he'd use his spell checker - he can't even get his brief farewell message right.
Tim Spiers on Twitter

 

[Deleted member 5340]

I've thrown my hat into the ring at the E & S.
Been practising in front of a mirror, acting as the camera, and a broom substituting for Judah(some stretch I know).

Look at broom and talk...Then look at mirror. Turn back to broom as if listening. Turn back to look at mirror, look back at broom, look back at mirror...pause, then start to talk to broom again.
Occasionally raise eyebrows and push glasses back up onto bridge of nose.
Continue,ad infinitum.

BOOM, nailed the living **** out of it!

Levity aside I should point out I enjoy the pairs aftermatch vids and will miss them.
All the best Timothy.

 

[WasStefan]

Some weirdos on here. I don't find him any more arrogant or egotistical than the posters calling him arrogant.

Tim has done a good job. If you compare him to Tim Nash (only one i can compare him to, i don't remember any prior) he's done a much better job. Podcasts, live podcasts, pre and post match videos, many, many articles daily. And he does interact with fans on Twitter. Don't know where that has come from, but of course he has to act professional. It's his job.

I'll miss the Judah-Spiers combo. Their podcasts are brilliant and a weekly listen for me.

Cant begrudge the guy a chance elsewhere though. Good luck to him.

 

[WonderWolf]

Tim did a very good job. Wish him well.

Can't imagine the entertaining double-act with Judah will be the same with Joe Edwards as his replacement. Their **** was pretty good, had everything including the information most wanted to know about the match.

Maybe not for peeps that like their reporting straight-laced and to the point.....but where's the fun in a 'news cast' style delivery??

 

[wanderer24]

I find them to be both terrible personally. I would take one Johny Phillips article over 20 of their stories/podcasts/post match dribble.

Now you're talking class.

 

[Deleted member 4456]

As I've said before, he doesn't strike me as a very likeable bloke. I won't be subscribing to The Athletic; I don't imagine I'll be missing a great deal in terms of Wolves content either.

 

[Mutchy]

Keep it to constructive criticism please. No need to get personal.

Surely he wansn't " Toxic".
