  1. but some seem to think he is. How many times have i read the works "they'll pull the plug on us", when people have been on here not happy about something. A total irrational fear that a bit of criticism will lead to a successful businessman packing his bags and walking away! I personally couldn't give a toss who the chairman is, as long as the team is a success on the pitch, have committed players and play decent football. I got sick of hear Lowe in the media talking nonsense about characters in Star Trek and bible characters and the Lowe/Wilde/Crouch/hone squabbling some am glad NC keeps out of the spolight. I dont have an issue with the booking fee but can see why some would. He has been good for the club, but equally is an employee of the club, is not the messiah and has made mistakes and will make more. I think as fans and it pains me to say it, customers of SFC, we have a right to say when we aren't happy with the service, god knows we pay enough for it.
  2. Exactly, like my comment above about the Nicola Cortese stand being unveiled in July. Obviously a joke but some demand evidence of this and what reason i had for thinking he would name a stand after himself! Singing songs about him is embarassing,
  3. It's not that at all, a lot of people think he is beyond criticism and panic that any word against him will see him get p*ssed off and walk away from SFC and pull the plug on us. There is no room for the middle ground with some. He has done some very good things for our club and the way he dealt with the attempts at unsettling AOC during January were superb, he has a vision and a drive to achieve it and i'd have him over Lowe, Wilde and Crouch as chairman everyday of the week. That doesn't mean though that the things he does do cant be questioned. For example the season ticket arrangements this season were a shambles, released at the last minute and the removal of the payment plan without notice. THe way we've treat clubs and players when we've signed/attempted to sign players is questionable, Matt Phillips at Wycombe, Adkins move from S****horpe and the compenstion issue, Elliott Ward!! Rift with the media and the photographer ban made us a laughing stock, although in fairness he did back track on that eventually. What people need to realise is that he has done some good things and is clearly determined to see his vision through, but that doesn't mean we cant question or like the stuff we dont agree with, some of you seem to think we should be eternally grateful and let them just carry on unquestioned.
  4. This is what iu want to happen, all but secure it at Plymouth, go into the Wallsall game knowing we'd have to lose and Huddersfield have to win 20-0 to over take us so Plymouth is great and Wallsall at home is a promotion party.
  5. Just out of interest why do you think Huddesfield will draw at MK Dons when they have beaten us, Peterborugh and Brighton at home. Why do you think they'll draw at Brighton and we will lose and Peterborough will beat orient and we will draw? I'd say we are as good as, if not better than P'Boro away. not saying you are wrong like, just like to understand your thinking. I called those game differently, MK Dons to beat Huddersfield, Brighton to beat us both and us and P'boro to draw at Orient.
  6. Killer Injured, no replacement found? Jackobson, Davenport? Isn't that down to the manager? Beattie Out of form- doesn't want to be here? Isn;t that down to the manager to drop him and give Crouch a chance? The only thing HR Did correctly in his time here. Defence shipping goals - Isn't that down to the manager to sort out? Redknapp fails to turn form around? To be fair to RL, he acted and got rid of Wigley, and replaced him with the best man available for the job, which he was at the time. What RL didnt do was back him in the transfer market enough when he was told by HR the squad wasn't good enough. That is the chairmans fault.
  7. Like i said, absolutely EVERYTHING written on an internet forum is absolutely serious and needs to be back up with evidence. Lighten up FFS.
  8. And who is responsible for picking these players, developing and improving them so big clubs want them? Who picks the tactics and players to win matches, Who decides what players to sign? Man City and Chelsea have proven in recent season that you can have as much money as you like but the manager has to sign the right players and get them playing the right way or it all amounts to nothing. I suppose in many ways it's chicken and egg, but the fact is that clubs live and die by their performance on the pitch.As we have seen with Eddie Howe this season a decent manager can work wonders on limited resourses.
  9. I;ve amended actually. Dodd was out on loan most of that season so hadn't actually gone and was injured, Telfer and Fernandes featured little that season so weren't first team players, so yes it was a very different squad than the cup final side. Bloated with average or ageing players rather than a smaller squad of decent ones.
  10. Because everything written on every post is absolutely serious and has to be backed up with evidence to support it, FFS. But then that is what happens when people butt into a conversation they haven't been involved.
  11. It wasn't though was it. Of the cup final squad Bridge, left, Beattie left half way through, Telfer, Fernandes featured little Dodd was injured and loaned out and Oakley and Svenson had long term injuries and missed a lot of the season, so i think you'll find it was a very different squad which got relegated. Thanks for showing up your lack of knowledge though. In answer to your other question, of course it's important that the club is well run, but the team live and die by it's success on the pitch, it effects every other area of the football club, the problem a lot of egotistical modern chairman have is they think they are the most important man in the club, when it is in fact the manager in the dugout.
  12. When i did the predictor i had us going into the last day 3 points clear of Huddersfield with them needing to win 20-0 or somthing and us to lose for them to overtake us, i'd prefer that but i'd take yours.
  13. Why dont you read the thread properly before commenting and involving yourself in parts of the discussion you have not been involved in. And also not just quoting parts of the comment which suit you.
  14. I cracked up seeing all those idiotic Fulham fans stood around applauding the statue unveiling and saying Al Fayed can do what he likes, reminds me of some of the posters on here. Al Fayed comment that "if idiot fans dont understand the gift he gave to the world then can go to hell" was hilarious. He may be mental but he is funny as f*ck! I can imagine that SMS will be a similar sight when the newly named Nicola Cortese Stand in unveiled in July!
  15. Really? Must have been fans of other clubs doing this then.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPZmk1x98Ko
  16. The difference being Barnard has been a good player for us. BWP was not.
  17. :lol: Thats right, football matches aren't won on the pitch anymore, they're won in the directors box. Mental. I see no one has managed to name any other club that sings songs about their chairman in a postive way.
  18. thanks for comfirming, so as a fan base we should be grateful to all sh*t ex players for playing for us, especially ones that earn £7k a week and steal from people who earn £7 an hour. We should also thank them for still being sh*t when they play against us in the future when they leave, It all makes sense now.
  19. Because i had to, no other choice. Dont think i'll bother again, it was bloody awful. Luckily i wasn't there for the food and drink unlike some people and enjoyed the game.
  20. I managed to go downstairs, get a bottle (FFS!!) of Carlsberg, watch the half time scores, have a p*ss and be back in my seat between both whistles. all FACTS. WTF are the bottled beers all about? What happened to the pints? WHo drinks larger our of plastic bottles FFS?
  21. Did you enjoy the game last night? What did you think of Ryan Dicksons performance?
  22. especially when he got booed in the first half, very odd. Probably the same ones that were singing "on the pitch, on the pitch" at the last game of the season and then booed anyone that did. Odd.
  23. Name me one other club that sings songs about their chairman.
  24. Excuse me, this is the place for drama queenism, i am trying to fit in.
