Mick Quinn is an irredeemable twat.

I am reassured by that. It says to me he is not going to be one of those interfering 'wants it done yesterday' type of owners and understands that it takes hard work, rather than just a cheque book, to achieve anything.

Seems to me someone has had a word in his ear regarding his tweeting

I broadly agree with those sentiments, Chris, however this is the very same owner who stated that it's his aim to make us the biggest club in the world in 5 years; and has spunked a huge amount of dosh before & during his current position. I haven't a clue how long he's willing to give RDM to turn this listing tub into a fully-restored vessel that's properly fit for purpose, but I'd imagine that he'll be getting increasingly concerned by the disjointed/crap performances and the lack of points on the board.

We are two months into his and the manager's first season trying to put right several years of neglect. I look at it as to how I would think if it was another club thinking it was time for another overhaul and I would be laughing at them.

If another team had come down from the Premier League, and immediately spent £50 million, I'd expect them to be at or near the top.

[Jimbo]

I think if RDM turns our draws into defeats, he will go and rightly so. But I'm reasonably glad the good, mad, Doctor is taking the long view. He's spent a lot of money, but we don't lose those assets if we don't get promoted. Those players will hopefully take us into next season with a solid team to mount a promotion battle. I'd settle for 'biggest club in the world in 6 or 7 years'.

Yep I agree. I'm not 100% sure on RDM either way at the moment, but I'm pleased to see Dr Xia appears to be pretty measured from what he's saying.

I think our circumstances are unusual given the complete overhaul from ownership down that has had to take place over a very short period of time so comparisons with other, hypothetical, clubs are not that useful. Like Jimbo I think I would be more concerned if we're losing rather than drawing and the key is overcoming that mental frailty in the last 5 minutes and the best way of doing that is taking our chances earlier so that we are not clinging on to a one goal advantage.
