Of course it should be questioned, I agree entirely and have stated this several times. You are still avoiding the question though, maybe you don't have a valid answer?

Indeed Mr Kraken I would like to think I do consider the position of our club on any information I can garner, good or bad as I think you have done, in the past at least. I don't think it's a question of apathy whatsoever. There still remains zero evidence, other than circumstantial, of the majority of crimes Walter has accused him off. Innocent until proven guilty? My point to Mr Mitty remains, what outcome from his persistent repetition of the same few points ad nauseum does he aspire to?

You haven't answered the question. It's clear what your view is, afterall you've posted on each and every thread ad infinitum. As I've stated I'm completely ambivalent towards Mr C having only 2nd hand information to base it on - as I guess you do, at best. I'm sure he's making mistakes in some areas as all businessmen do but what as fans can we do about it? I'm sure you remember the 'anyone but Lowe' campaign. It's right we question how our club is run but can we influence it? Your view is clear, is it adding anything to the debate to flood the forum with it?

Morning Tattoo / Walt (or whatever you are this week). Quick question for you - I appreciate you are busy thumping your keyboard to oblivion. What exactly do you hope to achieve from your current crusade against Nic Nac? Is it to get him to walk away from the Club? I appreciate you have a long list of suitors waiting to step in with the financial clout to keep us going?

Diddums.

Of course he hasn't. We've been in the top flight for a grand total of 10 games.

I think much of that will depend on the success of the 'academy' and developing players and eventually selling them. To be profitable on operational aspects alone and not inclusive of proceeds from player sales would, I imagine, be a dream for most teams.

I like that. It's one of those proper poems that doesn't rhyme, not like those limericks.

It's the 'Continental model' which is commonplace in Serie A. They have Head Coaches not Managers. I've always felt, rightly or wrongly, that this is the model NC wanted to follow.

Maybe he can't read your post?

I believe that if, and when, we do get a new manager it will most likely be a Continental coach who will be familiar with the concept of being Head Coach and not Manager per se. He will be given a squad and not be involved in the player recruitment process.

You could be in danger of believing your own hype. You can't be getting much course work done recently with all your keyboard thumping.

Another illuminating contribution. Keep it up.

Indeed. Walt doesn't seem to grasp the most basic concept that folks are punch-drunk to his tiresome diatribe and any salient points he does have get passed on by.

You don't think he's doing all those things already? Seriously?

Thread can be closed then.....at least till Saturday evening

...and breathe. You missed my point. I agree Fox is not good enough but he is shown to be even weaker due to lack of cover down the left. When I referred to our 'failure to strengthen in this area' I was meaning LB and not LM. Basically he's trying his best so what will we achieve by continually berating him? Diddly squat.

He gets little or no protection from those in front of him and as has been said many a player better than Fox would be exposed. The formation / lack of protection and our failure to strengthen in this area are not the fault of Fox.

The jury is out. There is little or no 'evidence' available to us mere mortals to make an informed decision yet a few take the approach that if they say it enough it must be fact. I am completely ambivalent towards Cortese. I know a few people connected with the club in very recent times and it's fair to say there is a mixed bag of opinion towards him both positive and negative. Maybe we got too far ahead of the 5 year plan, maybe he's not the man to take us forward but maybe he is. The reality is, despite the insistance of a few, none of us actually know.

can you provide some evidence to the contrary please. Evidence that is, not supposition. Just interested.

Judging by your postings I took it as read that you already knew. Is that not the case then?

It's a good job he's not SFC's FD. He seems to be able to make 2+2 = 5

And you know that for sure do you? That's not what he said if you read your own quote. Do you know that this is not an accounting practice rather than a debt loan in the true sense. You don't have to answer, it's a rhetorical question.

And your point is what Walt?

Had a good friend at the club the same time as Budgie. Mad as box of frogs by all accounts.
