Yes, it certainly IS great It is because of the outcome... ie Leibherr, that I am Pi**ed off at the fact that Pinnacle WASTED five valuable weeks, with Cloud Cuckko Land daily statements of how near they were to completion IMHO, they were Shysters, and Fry should have seen through them long long before he did

Does anyone else share the view that the so called "Pinnacle Bid" was a complte load of cobblers. The only effect it had was to delay our subsequent Purchase by a time span of 4 - 5 weeks We were VERY lucky that Leibherr was still interested I'll go so far as to suggest that Pinnacle very nearly sent us to the wall ..... because IMHO ..... THEY HAD NO INTENTION AT ALL TO TAKE US OVER The apology they put forward as "The Money Man" barely had £10.50 in an old TSB Account SOMEBODY was trying to destroy us completely IMHO, ie Delay, Delay, Delay Thanks to Pinnacle, Alan Pardew has a Mammoth task on his hands now

i think Stern John is waiting to see what "calibre" of players AP gets in ......if it's only "carthorse" types, he'll be off IMHO

AP isn't daft enough to SELL before making sure a Replacement is in place IMHO

Completely agree with that ............ ...... A Bridge too far so to speak ..... it will take a long time and patient " Counselling " to restore their confidences now An absolute tragic mis -use of some very very good young Footballers IMHO

OK, but go back a little further ....... WHY did we find ourselves in Debt ??? Why did we find ourselves slipping further into Debt ??? IMHO, the fundamental reason was ... we, ie Lowe, did not attract £1 of Investment over ALL of his 12 plus years in charge . FACT It really is ironic, that we only "attracted" Investment, ie Leibherr, when we were massively in debt, on our knees, and in serious jeopardy of going out of Business OK, ML may of got us "on the cheap", but we have (I am told) a level playing field now, with NO debt, and a Stadium which is ours, and a future which looks bright, even in spite of the - 10 points Lowe was always heralded as a Good Businessman ... yet under his "Leadership" he drove us to the brink of extinction I too welcome the New Dawn ......... but never forget the terrible past, and whose actions caused it.

I agree it's "in the past" ........ but please remember ....... it was all "in the past " before when he left ......... ...... then a long came Judas Wilde ......... So forgive me if I am not a s quick as you to say "he's gone" ....... he's still breathing for a start ......

It did not work out that way though ........ Lowe, for all his protestations, was caught cold by Barclays decision to virtually " call in the debt " ....... even though it had ( allegedly " been reduced in line with Barclays own schedule THAT DECISION BY BARCLAYS MERITS AN EXPLANATION IMHO

OK ... But, What a difference a little letter "v" makes ........... ..... Love .......... Peace:rolleyes: ......Lowe ......... War:rock:

OK, Yes, You are right .... it was a ( crap ) strategy

Agreed, and I really hope that US FANS will give him that time ....... I'm pretty sure he has only just realised what a MASSIVE job he's taken on Pity about the Hearts match in a way. There won't be many there unfortunately, but I wish them well Realistically, I reckon a draw v Millwall will be a Good result for us. Pardew has said that he has to install a "winning mentality" into the team. That ALSO means NOT losing ......... and a Draw is NOT losing ..... which will be a mini confidence boost

RUBBISH !!!!!!!!!! .... That worked then ????? All Lowe did was to virtually DESTROY The Team ...... leaving Youngsters to battle on in the CCC The CCC may not be the Prem, but it si also NOT a bad League, you NEED decent players to survive in it Lowe's "excuse" of reducing the debt also reduced the Quality of the Team, which reduced the performance on the pitch, which reduced the points tally, which reduced the attendance figures, which reduced incoming Revenue, which reduced ANY chance of Really reducing the debt How the Hell can you call that a STRATEGY ???? Lowe's "experiment" plus The Dutch Duo. etc. etc WAS the cause of our catastrophic Demise Alan Pardew has only stated the OBVIOUS ..... and it echoes what many on here could see from day one of Lowe's Second Coming Never Never forget how close Lowe came to Destroying us .........

And .... (Of course) ... an even bigger shame that Lowe insisted on going down that route in the first place .......against the advice of MANY Football People:D .... Virtually, the Rape of our Football Club .... Thank God he's gone .....

He was Swiss Yodelling Champion in 2003 .............

Not really ......... Mrs Bridges of Upstairs Downstairs outpaced him:D

Yes .... but the point you have to remember is this ..... THEN .... we were in the Prem ........... OR, alternatively ..... THEN .....we were in the CCC ...... What they should have got slaughtered for was not the fact they didn't go after FREE transfers ........... it was the fact that they did NOT go after enough DECENT MONEY Transfers to keep us in the Prem and CCC Alan Pardew is having to try to build right from the bottom ... due mainly to "someones" idiotic theory that our Youth Team could hold their own in the CCC We are woefully weak .... AP knows that, as so did many pundits at the time of "The Great Experiment"

Agreed ....... Bad disease/ailment I believe .......

So, in a traditional Red Indian welcome ..... " Welcome Heap Big Boll*cks ":D

I would have thought Dillon is have been his first choice ... ???? ......... IMHO, Henderson can go ...... I can't think what he's been doing to be honest ......... a lot of his proteges can't even use or kick a ball properly.

I didn't realise they both played for Canary Is FC ... ???? IMHO ... Cooper was a very OVERPAID Useless so called "Scout"

.... £110 ......... if you want to get a game .....

I think they do my friend ..... ........ They should show, to anyone with one decent eye, who is Kr*p, and who isn't ... Hopefully, Alan Pardew will sort out thet wood from the chafe ......... his problem is .... TIME ......... he does not have a lot of it Could well be that he is "throwing" everyone into the mix ..... for an "instant" assessment ......... I wish him well I can't make the Hearts match ........... so my first "quiet" afternoon will be our dear friends from The New Den............. ( What will be the "safe" pubs for that one ????? )

However, he has established that he can graze Two Dairy Herds of Fresians on the lush grass within the confines of the Cattleshed ..... ie Farton Puke
