Whether this story is true or not remains to be seen but Lowe is alledgedly a good business man and as such he would/should realise that he is far better off having The Echo on his side rather than against him.

In todays transfer climate that has to be considered a great buy for Stoke, something like 2.5m rising to 3.5m depending on maintaining Prem status I think.

Are you stating that as fact? I think you'll find that if you offered the banks the option for us to maintain CCC status with all it's trappings and a couple of hundred k's more in the red or relegation, a 10 point reduction and the inevitable administration I think the answer will be quite obvious.

Spot on there DD. Just a crying shame we didn't have him August - December.

I doubt you have any, well not any that have dropped anyway. And as Plumstead has said in his post please don't bother with another childish post in riposte as you are now on ignore. Bye and back to sensible and structured debate with 'fans.

Not at all my friend, just glad your were able to make the game and enjoyed your Saturday which is what it is all about. You've also confirmed that your sole purpose on this board is as a wind-up which is clearly demonstrated by your posting style. As they say it takes all sorts. Bertie Bassett is an All Sort. Sorry little 'man'.

I'm calm thanks Mr Johnny, I am also fortunate not to have an inferiority complex. As as been pointed out by other posters it seems your attempt at humour with this thread is reflected by your side-splitting username. Oh how we all laughed (when we were 5 years of age). You may also wish to review the statistics provided by Arizona regarding your Messiah's performance ratio. Sorry little 'man'.

Exactly but some will try and rewrite history if that suits their agenda. Well done Wotte and may it continue. Fingers firmly crossed. COYR

The childish style of posting carries on. Your username is very apt. What a sorry little man.

Editing peoples post to make your replies look better is perhaps playing a dangerous game JFP...

His promise never to post again lasted about 5 hours. Broken promises eh

And of course you are 100% correct however there is an element on here that think by attempting to belittle the lads efforts they are automatically dismissing the protest. Whilst I have no intention of attending it was clear from speaking with those that attended the last march and from posts made on this thread that there is a broad spectrum of ages supporinting this march which appears to be very representative of the fan base.

I think you are perhaps being intentionally disengenious there. Is it relevant who organises the marches or is it more relevant the broad profile of those who actually attend?

You seem to be even more vociferous than normal in your defence of MW here Johnny. IMHO the support that the team have received in the ground (where it counts) this year has been first class, despite the results and many performances. If people want to make a protest about how they feel the club is performing (and there could be few to argue that we are performing abysmally) then why not let them get on with it, why the digs? These protests are outside of the ground afterall. MW should be fully focussed on on-the-pitch matters and not get involved in club politics, his role is to get points, simple.

Here's one for him as he is so fond of war analogies.....loose lips sink ships.....I'd rather he concentrated in getting results and not become a political mouthpiece.

Termination of contracts can be very delicate matters with obvious repercussions if the correct procedures are not followed so I can understand the club not wanting to discuss this. However referencing the Daily Echo is quite incredulous. Whoever wrote that response on behalf of the Club was sadly lacking in direction from above.

That is a seriously scary thought. If you take out DMG then that could be the team come next year if Admin and League 1 come our way. I took out DMG as he will no doubt get snapped up by one of the Top 4 Premiership teams.

Most peoples gripe seems not to be that the OS is propoganda orientated, as that's what you'd expect, it's the somewhat extreme levels of spin that turn worthwhile articles into matters of ridicule. For example what on earth was the Wotte article referring to the appointment of Hiddink recently all about. The only tenuous link was some kind of inferred success by association. Talk about clutching at straws.

I think we've used something like 33 different outfield players this season alone.

Having trawled through this thread it's quite plain to see that you are up to your old tricks Jonah. You are a wind-up merchant of the highest order. When elements of a debate are presented to you (with decent circumstantial or references of integrity) you conveniently dismiss them as some kind of fantasy. Are you expecting a Magistrate or JP (no, not that Jan) to be in attendance whilst these various events take place. You are tiresome, predictable and boring in the extreme.

3 league wins in a row....what we'd give for that. Shows that with the right change of manager things can happen. Don't think he's added any players, indeed I think their 'star' player Giles Barnes moved to Fulham(?).

I wondered about that, I believe he is a Japanese triallist.

Didn't JP alledgedly pay his own severance to his former Dutch club so he could manage SFC. Sounds like RL actually had the idea first, I hope he took a patent out.

I had a little chuckle at that. Not exactly experts in that field are they.
