"If we can get promoted this year." Hmmmmm. I thought that was the reason that we brought a new manager in. That promotion would be a given this season. And now perhaps we won't get the players we need until the Summer? Sorry to **** on your chips Spudgun but doesn't this all seem a trifle odd to you? Great that you had a lovely evening and all but have you heard of the words charm offensive before? So then, the great man mention that there were lots of reasons why Pardew was sacked. Did you think to ask him for them or was it just because he worked the players too hard? Perhaps Pardew took Cortese's ambition too much to heart and wanted promotion this season? Oh well, he paid for that with a Premiership job so he must be gutted now. I hope you enjoyed the meal.

Could be Lowe, could be Wilde, could be Crouch, could be Hone, could be Hoos...........

In probably quite a few people's minds to be fair DD.

Given the stick you gave me about bringing up the Evil One's name recently why no censure for Derry?

There are plenty of people who haven't been involved with the club for a long time that get brought up, Ron Davies being one. Should we not mention him any more or is it only certain people we can/cannot mention?

I think "obsessive weirdos" is a tad harsh. Nothing wrong in wanting to know about the banning of someone who posted some eye opening posts surely?

No but you seem to have one with Lowe.

Then you should agree with me surely DD?

His posting style wasn't great and some of his comments were a bit full on, but he did post some interesting stuff.

Because people are interested and there comes the question of freedom of speech. Be honest wouldn't you rather read posts from people who seems to know stuff? I know Lefback had a strong anti Cortese agenda but then his reasons for that were interesting (or would have been if we had got to the bottom of them). Obviously if he is saying stuff that could cause legal problems that is an issue, but over the years this site has been home to plenty of slander and abuse, but to club officials, managers and players along with each other!

I see, thank you. If what someone says is factual though is that classed as libel? And where do we draw the line with slander?

Can you actually tell us why he was banned though?

I liked Leftbacks posts as they actually seem to contain rather a lot of facts which is something that has been sadly lacking on here for years. I am a bit miffed that he has been banned for doing no more than others have been doing for years against other CEOs. And for the record I understand that Leftback was anti Lowe too.

Christ mate, calm down. It only a game for God's sakes. And for the record I am being pro Leftback, but then that doesn't fit with your agenda does it?

We can't afford to fall off the pace and we seem to be getting by rather than taking games by storm. A few loans would have been nice but it didn't happen so we just have to pray that we can keep things ticking over until January.

Lowe was the obvious choice because he got so much vitriolic flak for so long. But if you like I shall add Wilde, Crouch, Hone and Hoos too. Better? Lowe had few if any supporters. Cortese has quite a few, despite sacking Pardew. These people are not irrelevant to this debate. Previous CEOs get slandered and no one gets banned. This one does and someone gets banned. Link. Like it or not matey. Go back and count how many times Lowe is in the first line of my posts. If my posts irritate you so much, dont read them. Simples.

Nice one

Unrelated topic? Someone gets banned for possibly libelling a CEO when a previous one was libelled every 30 seconds. No link there then?

If he had been posting anti Lowe agenda a few years ago would anyone have banned him? Whatever you think of his spin, he did seem to have some genuine facts which is more than most of us on here have.

And of course that has never been the case with posters on here Wes!

LOL. it was like the guy in Colditz who had an number of amputations. After a while the Germans twigged that he was trying to escape bit by bit!

The problem between Pardew and Cortese was less than helpful and losing Pardew a blow.

Did Lowe hold a gun to Redknapp's head and force him to sign Davenport?

This

Are we in a must win situation already?
