Good point!

#ahem# Swiss....

It's all politics and posturing. "Give us what we want or we are off!" Just depends on whether the threats are empty or not.

Quite convenient. Non?

I had taken this as a given.

The continuity is as dependant on Morgan as it is us or any other interested party. If his head is turned, as Alex's was two years ago then it's all about what our chairman can do to make the best of the situation.

Of course he will be on the radar for clubs like this. He has been outstanding. His recently signed contract will provide us with security. The security that we will not be ripped off.

That could imply we were touting for another sponsor well before aap3's contract expired.

Opinion isn't trolling. Your patronising and inconsistent demeanor is. Either way, getting off topic.

These two for me. The fightback at the DW Stadium was utterly superb. Such a shame we conceeded that late equaliser, Luke Shaw will learn from that.

No, I see what you are saying. But there have at times been posters on here who have been extremely vociferous in their opinions, stating to represent a majority (despite only being their own viewpoint/view of their particular clique) and being very aggressive towards those that disagree. You yourself have been very patronising towards other posters, including me (saying that Cortese must be my 'messiah...' once upon a time....) who have expressed a positive view of the chairman. You represent extreme viewpoints which you yourself often do not believe just to stir up debate on this forum.... if you want to do that it's fine, but it is essentially a form of trolling. Now there is a massive show of approval for the work that he is doing your opinion has seemingly mellowed. I wonder why.

No chance sunshine.

I didn't say surprise. I said interesting. Just further proof that those who shout loudest at times do not necessarily represent the majority.

Just a conversation with someone I consider credible, that's all.

True, but then if anyone had expected an online poll to have that effect..... More interesting to me is the support for the chairman from the fanbase. As you implied earlier, if he leaves now it will be while riding the crest of a wave.

Statistically one vote now will not make any difference to the overwhelming result.

Despite the contract aap3 have in place, I believe that another company will be taking on our sponsorship for next year. I could be wrong, just passing on what I have heard.

Have to agree. There is no point tying a ribbon on a lump of s**t. Yes, the ribbon is nice but it's not the priority.

Completely. Dealing in Hard Values we have excelled. The softer values are another matter and for a few they are seen to be very important.

Once upon a time that may well have been true, for me it was when Markus took over. Without Cortese there would have been no Markus Leibherr, now though there does seem to be something of a rift between Cortese and the Leibherr estate.

Saints 0-11 Stoke We'll cut it fine.

Hence the game of brinkmanship that we are now privy too.

From the role of an exile, I can only go on raw progress. It's been striking.

With Ed in charge they will never maximise their chance.
