I'm sad for where we are now and the unfulfilled promise if the early days. He's a decent man, what a shame it didn't work out..I don't get where people get the "he's a decent man" routine from. He shafted the club like we've never been shafted before and it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. How are these the actions of a decent man?A decent man in the same way the characters Laurel and Hardy played were decent? Amiable, well meaning but ultimately incompetent and accident prone.

Quote from: SteveD on April 22, 2016, 06:21:05 PMThe only two decent appointments he's made since he's been here were recently - and they lasted weeks. He's sounds now like a sulky child who's broken his favourite toy. This statement is pathetic and says nothing, just that he's a self-pitying fool . Much rather we saw his recent email exchange to get a measure of the man and more insight into what the hell is going on.Agreed. The "he's a decent guy" routine bugs me though because he clearly hasn't treated our club and the fans decent over the years. In fact he's humiliated them. He should be treated with the contempt he deserves.

Disagree, he's made mistakes, big mistakesI've made massive mistakes in my own life it happens we don't always get everything rightbut I don't think he wanted or meant any of this to happen, I also feel a bit sorry for him, I understand the hatred of him, I do, but I don't share it, i've never sang the randy song, not even at old Trafford when we went down, I think he's caught in a maelstrom of misfortune much of his own making but ultimately he's a decent guyThe sooner he gets out the better, but I don't hate the guy
More than anything he's been let down by the various people he's appointed. Managers, coaches, chief execs... they've all been shit. His choices of recruit have been terrible.
