Quote from: davisa on January 28, 2013, 04:28:48 PMFair enough we are all entitled to our own opinion, and opinions will very much be varied when the club is in this position...However this statement has left me more confused than i was before. Lambert clearly stated at lunchtime that there is no money to spend on players...So where's this money come from in the last 3 hours? ermmThe money was always there , hes said theyve been in for players already , lambert is being cagey and people are hanging on his every word.All will become clear on thursday .

The final paragraph starts with 'On a personal note...' but what exactly was personal about it? It sounded as formal as the rest of the statement. It sounds no different to a statement that would be released by someone like McDonalds if they were found guilty of food poisoning. It is just a damage limitation exercise with Lerner knowing that a loss against Newcastle will mean the he will permenantly lose the vast majority of fans. This is just an attempt to nip some of this unrest in the bud. Well Mr Lerner, you may subdue some with this hollow statement, but you don't fool me! What do you want - an ending of SOTC? Of course it's formal; it's a professional business statement. It's not a Facebook status.

Quote from: davisa on January 28, 2013, 04:20:22 PMA similar statement was released this time last year, if i remember rightly it was a letter backing McLeish and stating a similar vision..He was then sacked at the end of the season - and people wonder why we don't believe what Lerner is saying? hmm...Didn't the article mention this was the first public communication from RL since 2010? If this is true then he must not have said the same last season.I will have a dig around when i get time to see.May be an interesting end to the week; transfer day on Thur and hearing the new Depeche Mode single on Friday

I prefer it when Lerner says nothing, i enjoy the silence
Sounds like the dreaded vote of confidence to me. I can see him being sacked if we lose to Newcastle
