BUT GEOFF NEVER READS PAULS BOARD HUH?........

Hello and Good morning Sam, I just wanted to let you know that Paul has released an official statement regarding the situation with Geoff. The BBC has posted it on their website. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3658620.stm As you will see, Paul was not happy with Geoff in recent months and this is what has lead to the parting of the ways. Paul is also not happy about the way Geof dropped Heather's name into things. I am posting this here on behalf of us 'non sensible' fans who felt that Geoff was not the best person to represent Paul. It seems Paul has come to the realization himself. ~Tashi

I saw where Paul is saying that Geoff was simply not doing the job as he wanted it done and his firing had nothing to do with Heather, pot smoking, etc. Paul is in business and he made a business decision. Now time will tell if he sticks with it. How many times has he fired Geoff before? Feel better, Sam.

Hi Sam read your posts about Baker good stuff. Although everyone has a right to their opinion it's kind of funny how definitive people were in the post as if they had intimate insight about the situation. If you want to see Baker's talents on display read Macca's old fan club Club Sandwitch articles -- they were great and quite amusing. There is no denying his talent. Cheers! Mike

Sounds final this time. It also sounds like they are no longer friends. And thank you Stylegurrl - it seems we were not that ill-informed after all!

I think all Sam was trying to say is that there is more to the story then meets the eye (and yeah Sam knows Baker and Macca more than anyone of this board) -- we probably don't know the extent of the story. A press release or statement is just intended to give enough to the press so the story will go away -- we all doubt that Macca has any interest at pouring his heart out every bit of it to the media -- usually sackings are pretty private affairs. In terms of people have personal opinions one way or another about Baker that's fair game but saying that anyone of us is on the real story seems off base. Cheers! Mike

sorry about all the typos on that post, yikes~

Mike, you must not have read the unwarranted attack launched against by Sam in the Broadcast forum. That was a hell of a way to say 'there's more to the story than meets the eye'.
No, none of us knows the absolute truth, but I believe Paul's own words and trust them above anyone elses.

Stylegurll Are you saying Sam launched an unwarranted attack or unwarranted attack was launched against Sam? Sam made his point strongly from the vantage point of being more on the inside by a mile then we are -- and wondering how people can have such strong opinions about what transpired without truly knowing what went down. I think Dom made some underwarranted hits on Sam but then backed off. I put about zero stock in reading this situation based on a press release. Although, it's not in music by profession I deal with the media and have written around 1000 press releases -- press releases by design are not intended to give the full story but just enough to control the spin of it. Basically Baker in his press release or statement seemed to be aiming to get a story that more or less comes across that his relationship with Macca is cool so it's other factors that were involved alas Heather. Macca came back with a press release or statement of his own saying that it wasn't about Heather -- naturally to defend his wife. Both tacts made sense. In Macca's statement he actually in a sense complemented Baker by saying that of late Baker's work doesn't meet the quality of his past work -- alas implying that Macc was quite happy (despite the slams on Baker overall job from other people on these threads) with Baker in the past but very recent developments warranted this. And Macca didn't say what these recent developments are. My point is like most press releases -- I can't see how anyone can read them and say that's the whole picture. By design when you play with the media you don't reveal the full story why would you -- again this sort of event is private neither side has anything to gain from spilling the full beans. One thing is clear is that we don't know the whole picture. And, is it plausible to me that Sam who has a relationship with Baker and Macca -- has some insight into the situation that we aren't aware of it -- heck yes. Cheers! Mike
