The guy is quality!
That's my cheeky daughter! I'm not sure the offer runs to her poor old dad but you never know. Assuming it's all genuine he is certainly trying, a breath of fresh air indeed.
Let's hear how that experience went.

My favourite was his eloquent and concise thoughts on Ian Holloway.

He should have just concentrated on the success bit. Seeing as how well he seems to have been in business I'm not sure he is qualified to talk about it to the players who last season proved they are vey good at failing.

It worded it incorrectly he was talking about his successes and how he turned his failures into successes

I could do with some advice on turning failures into success. I worded my first post wrong and then failed to successfully edit it and ended up with a double post. Although my second one was worded as I originally intended.

I really like the bloke. He's not perfect, nobody is. But he's taking such a personal approach to getting this right. You can see by his actions that he is dying to get this turned around. It's the polar opposite of our owner of the past 5-6 years. The contrast could not be any more stark.

Weren't we saying exactly the same thing about Lerner when he first took over? I'm a natural cynic so I'll reserve judgement for a while.

Not really - he is much more involved, and will personally oversee the turning off the tide with his recipe for success.

Lerner bought and let others fo the rest  (he hired shithheads)

To be fair although I was as annoyed at Lerner as anyone by the end I understand his intentions to move to the UK and be more hands on were derailed by a marriage break up which would have mean it resulting in him being a long way from his kids. I'm loving Tone at the moment but I have a feeling his apparently passionate approach may result in him being more deadly with managers than Deadly himself. I wonder if Tone signs all the cheques personally and introduced the bicycle kick to his part of the world.

Remember when the General was all over the Internet saying loads of nice things to us and slapping down Sullivan, Brady, Gold and co? All a bit familiar this to be honest. Yes I'm a cynical bastard but I hate it when the owners become the story.
