yes you do but it nearly was not coated that time.Your guard had slipped PES

Why would a shareholder dip in their personal wealth? If RL was the outrigt owner I d expect that but a shareholder no.

OSM I dont think those comments were aimed at any one person/poster but a general statement.In fact i dont recall you ever having a hissy fit on here in fact this post is the closest to one by you. Bigoted views maybe would be fair, but that is my opinion only. I have never said he is not the person I would wish to run the club, there are many better but he is not the worst choice of what went before, again IMO.

Again Im on your side, I dont want anyone but RL etc but if we are to get rid of him I would require the lot to be rid of. Askham ,Coroner the lot.Let the club find a complete new identity under completely new faces so nobody has an axe to grind.

Yeah and when we win a game some will say they are worldbeaters and when we lose they will become trash again, while all along I will stay consistant and just try and coax them along without the over reation either way.

Signing Forecast, a third choice goalie. Signing Pulis, a player in his mid twenties who has yet to make the grade anywhere, and who was injured when we bought him. Signing Gasmi, who was injured when we bought him. Employing Wotte, who doesn't appear to be doing much of anything. Giving Dyer a new contract. Giving McGoldrick a new contract. Sidelining several players who we are paying plenty of wages to (Skacel, Euell, Thomas etc - I know injuries come into play here but does anyone think we'd be playing them if they were all fit?). ] end quote. well we needed a third keeper. Pulis is anodd one but I feel he may have been used as a way to reduce the payout to Boro for sell on. Gasmi will not be paid for until he has passed a medical and I dont know if a fee is on the cards. Wotte , well he is a mystery. Dyer and DMG is sound business.Why not have them under contract as there are plenty of clubs who would take them for nothing if they were out of contract.It is planning ahead and DMG will mature into a decent player.

I dont know who does the contracts, but my point was that RL is not necessarily seen as an ogre by players who have had contact with him when joining the club.You just wish to see any involvement by him as a negative. The players dont blame him for our demise or relegation as they werent here and so they see him through different eyes than your bigoted ones. They also wouldnt expect him to give team talks but no doubt apreciate that he takes time from a cosy boardroom to come and wish them luck.I suspect he's more normal than some of them ore moronic fans they have ot put up with.

The early settlement was not something the club would have iwshed to do but to stem the tide.Do you really beleive we paid for Forecast? and then not to even play him. He was signed in case KD went and had no real bearing on the money for the early payment. as for the E750k for morgan, where would that go in signing on fees, loyalty payments, resettlement fees, hotel bills, wages for a few old players? A free is not a free and until fans see that we will have this going on forever.

Yeah yeah, they get paid well so they can be slagged off.Ive heard it all before. You only have to read this site and the ones who give out all the sh## as soon as someone gives them some they are off in a hissy fit.They may be paid but they are youngsters who have allied themselves to the club because they want ot be pro footballers.Ok some might become big time charlies but i believe these lads/youg men for the first time in years want to pull on our shirt. They want to go out and play good entertaining football but have come up short at present. To have the people they wish to please to turn on them after a few games is IMO out of order.I understand the younger fans on here doing so but when I read the fans going for a long time rubbishing these players it is upsetting as they should know better.

Blackpool never tried the gamble like the Wilde bunch did and it was pointed out at the time it was a roll of the dice. I would love that someone could spell oout how we could do this a different way.UMp has stated that he thought we could have done it differently and came up with his ideas.All were very credible but I still couldnt see they would be in the price structure we are at. Bringing the experienced pros is great but at what cost,where does this money magic from? If the club could have rid itself of the so called stars we would be able to get a few replacements in but they wouldnt take a wage cut to go elsewhere or were not good enough to be wanted that is the sad fact.

I dont know if in sport you have ever had to bring on kids but I do know from experience (limited to local sport) that kids confiodence is brittle.They so want to please their teammates and friends etc that they try too hard sometimes and also have higher expectations of their own standards than should be expected.To keep their confidence up they need support from their older players and friends/supporters and so that is why I advocate a bit of patience. I also understand your 'they are in a big bad world' but why throw them to the wolves if you can cossett them to a degree.IMO I want them to suceed and so if I can help in a little way by giving them a little help by holding back my criticism I'll happily do that.

Its OK your hoofball is easy to impliment.

Seriuos shoul.der injury I think. Thomas has a long term knee injury I think you will find

I havent read the article but I suspect5 the lad hurts not only from a going over by the manager but to have to face the press. We should give the lads who are only trying to do their best and are pleased to pull on our shirt a bit of slack. Being youngsters I expect they come on here and it no doubt effects their confidence when they see themselves being rubbished.

SCud, the thing that made me want the club to appoint NP had nothing to do with his managing prowess as i was not too carried away by that but by the way the fans were united brehind him.Now I know he'd be having a crusade start to mount againsyt him if the results were poor but it would mean we as a club could unite and then move on. I dont take a large slice of this board as an example of the fan base but if we could get over the constant negatives the re would at least be some pece for the club to move on. Too many people are waiting in the sidelines to prove a point if things go wrong. They in turn pick away at the moral of the regular fans and it is a drip drip effect. Clean the whole lot out and then there are no axes to grind and so the club can hopefully move forward.

well perhaps not everybody thinks he's no good. He knows all the players and must speak to them when he talks about contracts and the club signs them. I recall seeing him taking Morgan around the facilities so he could introduce him to the squad. They see him from a different angle I suspect and are not so bound up with predudices.

No showing support for the team.

KD has not improved that much , he was consistantly good last season fans just let their predudices get the better of them. He made some fantastic saves to keep us in matches.He got injured and RW came and did very well.He had the bonus of fans giving him a completely fresh start and so that was shown in his preformances. Bart has lost his confidence in a big way and I cant see him getting it back for some time if ever.Blayney was the same also Paul SMith although now he has regained a lot of his confidence.

Well it would make them think you were taking the rip. I was staying in a hotel and Daqve Hill from Slade was there giving it the big one, people fawning over him.Anyway I was walking outside as he was coming in and I said @give us a song Dave.' He thought I was taking the p### and ignored me for the rest of the time there.

I think you will find itvis not only our club that a director or chairman goes in to wish players luck.

i know lastr night was a terrible result but Im down but now bowed.I didnt for the first time in years look at the resut until it was over. I wasnt at all surprised,I had hoped we'd gone out very early as we would have had fresher legs for the Blackpool and now the Donny games.Scrabbling around in the carling cup gets you nowehere. Donny will be fresher than us and that is crucial, the few quid it raised is useful but i doubt if we covered costs, and if so a few grand profit does us littel good.

it depends who he brings with him. For me Im happy with RL as I can see he is trying to right the ship, but if we could get a new face who doesnt have the baggage and the whole of the boardromm is gone and a completely new start then that would be fine with me. It may be the only thing to bring the fans on board and if we had the added bonus of money to spend on the squad then a new feelgood facvtor will spread. If we only lose RL and MW then we would still have those hangers on in the background. An empty canvass is the only way to cure the illness.

As the PLC is 2 entities couldnt we put the stadium into administration to lose the debt and the team apart from it........well you can dream

You'd love it to be the case, in fact he may install more belief than the manager but he goes and wishes the team luck.In our crazy world where the fans want to beleive that RL does such things there is no stopping people wishing to believe it.He is away and so couldnt have done it last night.

good to hear it.
