Wilde conned loads of people, including the likes of Corbett, McMenemy, Trant, Hone, Hoos, The Satsuma and a large section of the fan base, so I find that criticism of Crouch to be completely irrelevant.

If I had posted that, I'd be embarassed at its arrogance, patronising, and sheer childishness of the insults.

Indeed. Dont know what all the fuss is about. I also voted a few years back for the red-and-white quarters for the kit rather than the stripes. Just for a change.

Nope, just laughing my tits off at the egg sliding down your face...

Wow, straight out of "How To Run a Business Your Way - Even If That Leads To Administration" by R.J.G. Lowe...

Yep, theres your problem all in one. You think your support of the club is superior to that of others. You really are sad. I bet you are really p*ssed off the club has been rescued. You cant whine for "balance" (your special kind of course) anymore...

What a bizarre post. I expressed a hope they would shut up. Read my post again, its there in black-and-white. Are you just reverting to national stereotypes as a lack of anything else to attack me on ? Who gives a shiny shiiite about LC's foibles ? He did more to save this club at its desperate hour than any of the board or the players and more than many fans. The only blot on his copy book imo (considering how short a period he held the reins) is he persisted with Dodd and Gorman too long. I also thought shipping out Skacel and Rasiak was a bad decision at the time, but as the financial situation has since been revelealed, he is above criticism for that. As for the fresh start, I agree, but would not moan too much if LC were invited to fulfill some role. He no longer is an owner, so would have limited scope to cause trouble or put his foot in his mouth.

Naiive to the extreme. After the amount of abuse that has been dished out on here over the last few years, you are being ridiculous if you expect feuds to disappear overnight. Only a couple of weeks ago when the end appeared nigh, there were threads starting on here attacking those who wanted admin and smugly asking "Ooo, do you still feel the same now ???" Oh, of course, the "COYR" and the "Get behind the team, FFS" happy-clappies can say whatever they want because they are the ueber-fans, cant they ?

Man, it must hurt more than I imagined...

Who is slagging them off ? Frankly, I cannot be bothered going back and reading it.

Have nothing to do with any of the fans groups, communicate to the fans as one collective entity.

Fair enough. I have edited my original post as I meant "former" and not "latter" anyway. I just really hope that all those people who claimed to hate Lowe but nevertheless gushed about his plans, his bright ideas, understood/defended what he was trying to do and slagged off the likes of Crouch (who did more to bridge this club through this period than the likes of Askham, Wilde and Lowe), now shut the f**k up.

Illingsworth is an attention-seeking Lowe Luvvie who has found him and the Trust he hijacked to be out-in-the-cold and very much yesterday's news...

I see where you are coming from. I am caught between holding my breath until the ink has dried on the documents and the new owner's plans come out, and rubbing it in the noses of certain individuals on here who sought to extend Lowe's grip on the club with the fear of administration. For now I choose to do the former. The individuals involved know who they are already..

I am fine with this. It draws a line under the last 5 years of shambles, and indicates the direction the club should go in - united... Its not the first time our club has changed name. I also have nothing against the badge being re-worked. I have to say though, from what I can recall of Redondo Saint's posting subtext, I wouldnt be surprised to discover this is a wind-up.

Spot on. Been saying the same for ages...

If this is true, an announcement should be made today.

lololololol

What a quaint notion...

I am utterly bored with this sh*t. Another month will go by, and we will discover that we havent got a buyer Following this Fawlty Towers-scale farce is the biggest waste of our time ever.

I've just come back from an "open house day" here in Austria. This means the bank have repossessed a house and are selling it to get their money back (unlike in the UK, the defaulting owner is permitted to stay in the house until it is sold). It looks like my wife and I were the only ones to turn up. The bank is demanding a minimum offer of 185000 Euros. What will they do if we offer, say 165000 ? Ignore it just because it hasnt reached their minimum expectation, even if they get no other offers ? Does this all sound familiar ? Because its sounds to me exactly like the SLH/SFC/SMS situation. Greedity creditors expecting too much and playing brinkmanship. I read this week that City bankers are lying low waiting for the hulabaloo to die down before they start playing the no-strings-attached bonus culutre again. Sounds to me that the banking industry has learnt jack-sh*t in the past year..

Someone with brains...

That REM one..
