It sure as hell is a strange way to run a football club.

Even compared to the one in Small Heath ??

It's just taking him a very  long time to count all this money on McLeish's desk at the moment for new players in the summer .
As he said Imagine what AMC could do with money .  Its just that these money bags filled with pennies take a long time to count to be fair.

I think he was referring to how Alex could spend his salary.

In all seriousness Pelty - how is the old fellow doing? I had my disagreements on a lot of things with him but for better or worse - its never been quite the same since GK and Peter W left.

For what it's worth Pelty, pass my regards on too.
I always like to think the club is listening and cares about the supporters and The General probably did that better than anyone I can remember.

I certainly hope nobody was thick enough to think for a nanosecond that this one was genuine:

It was a rare experience having direct contact with the club; and the General seemed to have the right character to deal with it. Was it 3-4 years he was posting for? I agree with Pelty that it seemed to have run its course, imagine if he was still posting now with all the grief he would get.

Pelty, tell your Dad that we are Brummies and it is in our genes to moan and complain... just like its in the scousers genes to steal, but many of us are grateful for his contribution.

Hey calm down lad - I had my car knicked three times when I lived in Brum, so don`t tell me Brummies aren`t thievin gits as well :) - By the way, Scousers moan as much as Brummies but its at a higher pitch.

Thanks and I will pass on everyone's good wishes to him! I know for a fact that he misses the banter, but not the moans, I imagine! :-)
