The Accounts are out.

[Fergal]

Yes.

Be careful, PeterWitheshin will be on here any minute now asking you to cut out the personal insults.

It's ok, Dave is allowed to insult people.  We are not, are we Dave?  Am I allowed to say what I really think of you without getting banned?

[saunders_heroes]

Maybe if Doug had put in a quarter of a billion pounds, improved the off the field face of the club immeasurably and regarded supporters as something better than a necessary inconvenience I might have cut him a bit more slack.

He didn't have a quarter of a billion pounds though. I bet if he had though he wouldn't have made such a mess as Lerner has.

[Clampy]

Why is it some people on here seem to think that because you don't spend every hour of every day day on here bashing the club, it means that you're happy with the way it's run?

[Dave Cooper please]

I think I am capable of taking anything you can type at me Dave, you just keep defending the running of the club for what ever reason.  If Doug were the chairman and he had run up 200 million in debts, got us 4 points out of the relegation zone and playing shit football, had assembled a squad that would struggle in the Championship, had over seen some of the most embarrassing results in the clubs long history and was never here you would have been baying for blood.
Why is that?

Can I turn this around?
Why do YOU think it is? You (and SH) keep bringing it up, so why do you think Dave just has to defend Lerner?
You can't seem to accept that it just happens to be his opinion so what other reasons do YOU think he has for his continual defence of the apparently indefensible?

No

[Dave Cooper please]

By the way, are you calling me an idiot?

If the cap fits.

Put it on then...

Doesn't fit *shakes head slowly at the stupidity of the comment*

I don't think there are many on here who are not financial expert business men who could have made a bigger cock up than Randy.  How many of us would agreed to buy and agree the contracts of a lot of the shite we got lumbered with?

[dave.woodhall]

Yes.

Please do. Then you can act the victim again.

It's nothing personal I just don't want to talk to you about it

I am not acting the victim, how can me telling you what I think of you make me a victim?

Except that on the one occasion we started spending big money, in the late nineties, we did end up in trouble.

Oh by the way, I think you are an alight bloke, an time I have met you you were fine.  I wouldn't let your views and opinions of the club colour that view, even if you did call me an idiot.

Oh by the way, get off the bandwagon, unless you are trying to worm your way into being a mod...

What are you talking about, we spent big money through the 90s and built some quality teams.
