The thread was a sham in any case. As far as I know Krulak has not posted or answered any questions for many days. The posts are mostly about the Manager. Mods pipe up now and than with comments like "This is not the thread for the Manager" and "stick to the questions to General only on here" etc. So not missing much wit it locked.

To be fair to the Mods, they did not have much choice, it was getting out of controll once they decided that questions about the manager were out of order.

Either we are, or we aren't.
The bottom line is I still feel someone from the club needs to explain to me how we end up with him as manager with all the other options available - we deserve at least that don't we?
The abuse is uncalled for.I think he's only ever genuinely tried to do his best and to have that level of contact with a board member is virtually unheard of anywhere else. Not just in our league, or football for that matter. But sport in general.That said, when I see the McLeish appointment being justified by what SirAlex says about the bloke -rather than his recent fairly dismal record- I tend to think criticism was always going to be inevitable. The butt out remarks were probably how he genuinely felt at the time too, but were obviously unhelpful.If this does indeed go tits up and McLeish turns out to be the failure his record so far sets the scene for, I hope lessons are learned and we get people with genuine knowledge of the game in this country on senior positions in the board. That's not a dig at anyone we have presently, but a proper administrator; a David Dein or even a Peter Kenyon probably wouldn't have overseen the complete farce that was the recent selection process.

Either we are, or we aren't. Because sometimes you seem to choose to be moderators when it suits you.

We have to make it up as we go along.

One might argue that it's only the board themselves that have jeopardized this, but even despite their actions over the last week it'd be a real shame to see it break down completely.
