See below, don't know what I have done

Of course he hasn't but like scapegoats, it's the done thing to throw in the race card.

I guess they would not be the same people that sat up once Cortese went, cause they weren't waiting for that moment, no? Same difference pal, same difference.

I haven't slagged him off no, hardly slagging someone by saying they are bring, really.

? hth

big difference between criticism and slagging off

Part two is in today, apparently a year ago we didn't know where were going, and talk of selling is something that is not talked about. So he definitely suggests that the club being sold was an option perhaps. But there is a lot of "at the moment" lines. and we are a ship and sometimes it gets a bit windy

Whats your point?

As dim as someone who can't use proper grammar

We have missed him though, with Lamberts goals we really could be going to PSG next year

my point being that we haven't (except for Toby, who we probably won't keep) replaced these players with better ones, better manager maybe? At the end of the day the club sold our best players last season and will probably do the same next summer, which is down to the players to a large degree for sure, but I don't think we are as ambitious as Ralph would tell you. its definitely a business for these guys now.

Took you a while to wade in and as usual, it wasn't wort the wait.

no one else worried that we wont get away with losing 4 top players this time round, I mean you could argue that we are not getting away with it now perhaps?

Would love to be pointed in the direction of "the numerous threads" I have started So Ralph is not in chare of the transfer committee? Right, who is then? He always sounded like he was.

You'll have to point out the bit whereby I stated that I was unhappy with the success this season. my OP was just a personal reflection on such a dull spokesman, who after one year in the English game still thinks its right to call it a product, then gives a long interview without nothing very productive to say really. No malice tough, just an opinion. we'll see what happens in the summer and how much he has learnt, when the big guns come fishing again.

Yes, I preferred the days when the chairman said noting too, I think those days were associated with a game called football, now footballpoly, not really the same anyone.

Big interview in the Echo whereby Ralph says on a couple of occasions how he is loving 'the product' that is SFC. i prefer Krunchy Nut Cornflakes myself. tbh, what a boring interview it is, can't imagine a long car journey with is guy!

Don't know why RK didn't switch Mane to the middle and take off Pelle, would have been more of a goal threat.

he is not good enough in the goal scoring ranks, not getting any younger and the lack of a decent striker will be the difference between CL and EL. I said at Liverpool he looks a poor man's Giroud and despite the few good shows (as does Giroud), frankly not the best striker we have ever had. At least mane is playing off him now, as being stuck on his own makes him look even worse.

Obviously the advertising deal is tax deductible but the little add ons, entertainment at the games etc. ST's, free merchandise perhaps? is he declaring them as BIK's or are they lost in 'advertising'.

As good as Bertrand is, would still have Luke Shaw, but what do I know, I wasn't on the 'glad we got Tadic, he's so much better than Lallana' bandwagon, obviously missed that one well and proper

Wahts this Bertrand fella like? Any obligatory YouTube videos? also, have we really signed a players that's going to miss 20% of the rest of the season? Shocking Les Reed!

so Saints and Huddersfield were the only clubs in for him, Rickie Lambert, so in demand. Easy to say now isnt it, just like GR and DO.
