Are you taking away the managers decisions...you are not Rupert are you?

You dont know of Journalist of the year who is a WHU fan and was defending them during the Tevez saga

i noted that earlier. He is surely a very bright man, too bright to be an administrator eh Clapham...only teasing...oh you would have got that wouldn't you?

It wasnt the chairmans dreaded vote of confidence then?

but would you say Martin Samuel was and all the other WHU journos when they were/are fighting to stop their points deductions and fines?

Still his points are as valid as the Norwich Tranmere or Colchester people. Not as powerful perhaps but he is at least highlighting the problem

if he is replaced at Cardiff how do people view him again as manager. as far as Im aware he holds no grudges to our fans, as I beleive we werre supportive.He is good at finding some good british talent and has done ok wherever he has been

I was fairly pro Shearer coming here when he was mooted about last season. His performance at Newcastle hardly makes me wet myself with excitement. The problem will also be that we will be expecting him to leave for Newcastle every time that job comes free , andi f he is successful we will have upheaval again. If Dave Jones is sacked by Cardiff he may well be a better bet

Not a ramble and very easy to understand Ta.

I misread I thought it was confined

He should have been confirmed ages ago....ohhh Pinnacle's clients

I agree, in fact if it was not for the war they wouldnt have been so successful after it as all the servicemen down there had to play there.

it is a good read. I also think that i liked the swipe by Fry about 'at the right interlectual level' He is too good to be a administrator getting him in as chairman.

I think deeply about things, it can be a failing but also has served me well in my business and personal life. If you can close your mind to such issues then fine, but the clubs survival is not yet assured

I think most of us do.I am confident enough in my assessment of how things went to not worry about what comes out. I have always known RL's failings and i wont be surprised at some of the stupid things he did, but I think some will get disarmed when they see some of the naff things osme of theo thers did as well

Clapham I have enjoyed reading your take on the administration.It has helped me ease my worries and then give me more. Would you say from the administrator side opf the fence that you are confident that things will go forward or are you concerned that the people who have made the offer may walk as it is starting to take too much time. I do understand that they would have invested x amount and so will perhaps stay for the long haul but I hate to think they throw their hands up in despair and walk.

Duncan you are getting back to yor best again.That is more even handed than I have seen for a long time. It comes down to us all making misjudgements and if you and others decide time is up on the division at the club then we can all move on.I have tried to do so, last week with my LM thread (which was met with a little scepticism) and wish that fans like yourself also try and bring this to an end so the new start is fresh.

and you put some on. Its like seeing the cast of Olivers hungry workhouse friends on a hunger strike when i see you. Theres more meat on a Quorn burger than there is on you. Thanks for the info though. My daughters getting married in July and so I need to look a little better for the photos

NC last night in their statement Pinnacle said 'If they recommend their client to proceed' or words to that effect. Pinnacle must be there giving a fianl recommendation and so are major influences on the investors decision.

IYHO of course Lol

That is fine but he knew the takeoever was not going through before the end of the season. I dont think it is as straight forward as you say but the politics at SFC have been so dirty for so long who really knows. G&D appointment seems to be put down as temporary when I thought that they had been given the go ahead, did they speak about a 3 year plan? In hindsight and as a fans hero it is good to be associated with NP at present, lets forget the less savoury. The echo's version needs to be totally free to be even handed in all this , only time will tell who it nails its flag to.

Just think how i feel. I dont know the players their names or ability. I then have to conjure up team spirit and a plan to counteract Dubais obvious cheating and underhand tactics. To be fair the kick in will be a quick foresight into my chances of being the winning manager.

Nice one

i read on here that Pinnacle were the front for a large local property developer. Who might that be , are there any major players in the area. Not £20m ones but 500m+ ones?
