The General's thread has been locked

[Lee]

To be fair, I've never been a regular contributor to his thread, but felt that it served a decent purpose if not a bit of "arse-lickey" a good proportion of the time. I heard some peoples views that this was undermining the Independent nature of this site and thought that perhaps they were being too hard.

However,  his attitude has stunk over the last few days with the outbursts that he has been prone to. I hope he never comes back - the dissenters were right. The Board really have lost the plot and it will all end in tears.

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.

The so called moderators, hypocritically. joined in the claptrap that was going on there,the past few days.

How can we be 'so called' moderators? Either we are, or we aren't.

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.

Let's hope he broadens his thread viewing then. Either that or he can use his alter ego Pelty to say what he REALLY wants.

I think a lot of people are a bit unsure about the terms of reference on the General thread.

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?

Because sometimes you  seem to choose to be moderators when it suits you.

It won't happen. Krulak's outburst the other night proves the fact that they really couldn't give a flying fuck.

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.

hear hear.

I'd like to think the General will soon be back and will try to answer some of the points put across in his thread over the last few days.

I also think the thread serves a valuable purpose, and it would be a pity to see it closed for good.

The relationship between fans and board over the last few years has been brilliant, and General K has in my opinion played a significant role in that. 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.

I'm sorry. Unfortunately there isn't a moderator school we can go to. We have to make it up as we go along.

bottom line is that The General is here to put a spin on events, he has not been able to cope with the reaction  to recent events.

The board seemed to have made things up as they've gone along.
