Very decent defender who had a penchant for scoring goals from corners ( in the right net before some clever **** interjects ). Fulham supporting work colleague of mine liked him when he played by them and Only released by Fulham less than one year ago - So not on a large downward curver perhaps. Good acquisition if true.

I disagree, I think point 1 should be an Icebreaker - Just to find out what Wilde actually does..

Without question yes, just as much as we get heated up over Saints issues and not care a flying fig about NCFC's matters. He knows nothing little about Lowe other than what I tell him and indeed puts down the main cause of our demise at Redknapps door ( which is fair IMO as he did just as much to see us relegated from the Prem). As I say its all relative to your own particular cause.

Its all relative I know, but if you ask my Dad who is an NCFC season ticket holder he would string Chase up every time before any other chairman.

Thats a key quote for me.. Another re-arrangement of the deckchairs without any other constructive solutions is not the way forward. All that will result is the same old divisions, the same old arguments and the same old inertia. We need now a whole new fresh input from new faces with new energy, new ideas and no axes to grind or baggage to carry. As I have mentioned on other threads we seem to be awash with influential and indeed wealthy fans exclusive of the current "faces", and I am a little perplexed that many seem to have stepped away and washed their hands. Can A Salz work again to facilitate a solution ?

Absolutely right ! He made Rupert look highly competent and popular. Additionally what about those idiots from Brighton who flogged the ground without lining up a replacement.

My point remains - It was no credit to Wilde as there was no strategy I could see. Alpine is quite correct in stating that letting idiot George loose without some form of due supervision was tantamount to incompetence in my view. Anyway Wilde was only in place for half the season and was largely side-lined as ineffectual for the time he was there. I absolutely hate shysters promising the earth and delivering nothing.

They are the operative words IMO "Wildes Team" Ie: Hone, Hoos et al... Mikey had long since been sidelined as ineffectual and full of empty words and wind.

Hone and Lawrie spent the best part of an hour intimidating each other in the De Vere towards the end of 2007. Highly vitriolic and unbecoming encounter unwittingly seen and heard by many.

He gambled by totally "not-managing" Burley and specifically his acquisitions during the summer of 2006 and consequently by the time the January transfer window opened in 2007, he was out on his ear and his legacy was that there was no contingency to mount a final push to promotion. the world was revolving around him while he sat in a corner gibbering and not knowing what to do ! Genius !!

Not holding back - IMO he is the biggest heap of steaming offal that has passed the SMS door- And is as ineffectual as a catflap in an elephant house. All the fanfare and rhetoric coming from him in 2006 as he rode into town promising change, milk and honey and a new dawn came to what - Nothing but back to where we started ! He bought enough shares to enable him to oust Lowe and then what - He had no plan to follow it up, no investment "waiting in the wings" and contrived to get himself thrown out of the boardroom by the very people he appointed only 6 months into his tenure. He is purely a man IMO who wanted the "self glory" and has not got a clue as to what it takes to run a football club. He is the worst of the 3 of them.

Compliments to them for suggesting something ! However Neville Chamberlain, a piece of paper and a flight from Munich springs to mind !

He is very promising and will no doubt challenge for a regular start next season. In the meantime this will be good for the lad and good for us. Good Luck to him.

I could not agree more with your first line, but sadly as you go on to say it seems that ALL of the amigos are so wrapped up jockeying for their own positions of power that the greater good of the club is not being considered here. I was one of the people who rather naively hung on to Salz ( being the man of considerable standing he undoubtedly is), to come up with the solution but he was unable to do so on this occasion. The problem we have is that we have 2 very, very stubborn men in Lowe and Crouch who do not seem to be able to publically give one perceived centimetre towards each other and consequently the club remains in turmoil. Now surely we have enough influential supporters who might be inclined to see they can make a positive difference and try to work a way through the impasse to the benefit of the club? I am looking at people like Salz again, or even Davies here ! What disturbs me is that despite some previous posts ( and I cannot recall who from) indicating that "Gavyn would not let the club die" as an example - Nobody seems to care that much other than us ordinary fans !

Absolutely and that goes for the whole damn lot of them... Crouch, Lowe, Wilde the whole lot !!! Bloody pitiful it is for us long suffering fans to be saddled with this bunch of idiots.

If there is one thing you do get with Lowe is that he does what it says on the tin ! The fact the most people won't buy the tin is another matter of course. But the whole lot of them are just as unpalatable as each other in my opinion. Lowe is divisive, Wilde is a fantacist and the worst of the whole lot by some distance in my book, Crouch is an empty word gob-****e and I have not warmed to Mary Corbetts "fan friendly" rhetoric either when she has no other solutions to bring other than swapping yet another deck chair. I live in hope that somebody of substance will ride into SMS and soon.

He was a terrific servant to the club and IMO our best centre forward over the past 15 years or more... Love him !

I think you and I share a similar understanding of the definition... But there are some otherwise astute businessmen who are either so confident, pig headed, or indeed convinced in their own ability that they refuse to see themselves out of their depth, or perhaps they want the position and power so much that they turn a blind eye to their short-comings too... Whatever, we have the misfortune to be saddled with a whole raft of them.

Absolutely right ! But sadly our underwhelming guardians are too blind or pig-headed to recognise this preferring to keep all their toys to themselves. My fervent hope is that one of our seemingly many wealthy supporters ( who have previously been long on words but short on actions), will at last reach the end of their tether and contrive to rescue this club and its long suffering supporters from this ridiculous situation. Salz, Davies, Bransgrove even Craig David .... Are you reading !

I think Lowe is an astute businessman.. But that astuteness does not run into a fecking clue as to how to successfully run a football club.. The same goes for the other two amigos too... There is a world of difference in being a City Financial Man/Pig Farmer, A manufacturer of piston rings and a property developer/weasel - And knowing how to operate a football club in todays multi-media world. And what we have done to deserve such underwhelming "expertise" in running our club is nothing short of heart-breaking !

In all fairness Jonah was spot on in his assessment of the idiot Wilde in 2006. He might just be spot on again !

It has to be said that Sheffield Wednesday have been to the league below and got out of it in a much more parlous financial situation than ours. Indeed I think their debt remains worse than ours (above £30 million?) now. Now while they have had the good fortune of decent managers in recent times (Luggy and Laws) as compared to us (Pearson the notable exception), they too have had to suffer the same indignity and misfortune as us by having an abject, divisive and bloody useless leadership/boardroom, and repeated let downs of takeovers/financial investment etc... Perhaps all might not be lost. Also spare a thought for Charlton who were a reasonably well run club in the prem in more recent times than us, and if we are doomed then they are already dead !

But who will get rid of this useless piece of flotsam ???
