An element of re-writing history.  Somethings never change where Doug is concerned.

Imagine how awful the next owner will have to be for us to look back on Lerner as fondly.

Did he mention that he did in the 80's exactly the same as Lerner has done?

Did he really say he's offered £20 million for players but Randy has turned him down?

Tom Fox said something like that at the Ramsay grave re-dedication - Doug had offered money if it would help, but knowing Doug it was nowhere near the amount he claimed.

Accoring to the Beeb article on it this morning he "left £20million in for Transfers" presumably after the sale, in his own head.  Bless him.

He hasn't looked well for a wee while now (from what I've seen of him). It'll possibly be a case of taking the L & Y out of Deadly Doug in the not-too-distant'...

I'm sure Doug would admit to a few mistakes - but it's worth remembering we had some good times after 1987 - Twice runners up, two League Cup wins and several cracking nights at VP - eg two against Inter Milan etc..

That's all I have good to say about Mr E

Reminds me of that episode of "Are You Being Served?" when young Mr Grace offers to throw half a crown into the pot for something

Nice to see Doug donating £100,000 to the QE Neurosurgical Unit following surgery on Steve Stride's son this year.

The players concerned probably didn't know how to mow his lawn and trim his hedges.

There's no better indicator of the sale to Xia going through than Doug suddenly appearing in the media.

Mediocre chairman who aggravated me for many years but had the club's interest at heart, in his own Arkwright way.

He never completely abdicated responsibility to the extent Lerner did from 2011 onwards either.

I hope we give him at least one half decent team to cheer in however long he has left on this moral coil.
