Legod Third Coming Posted 20 February, 2009 Share Posted 20 February, 2009 I have been working my nuts off this week. I've been in Wales, Northampton, Farnborough, the office, and at home, working 14-16 hour days because that's what's needed in the current economic climate. I have eaten crap (well Indian/Chinese and KFC) on the hoof because I have so much to do. This is my only post in days - finally I have two hours grace! That's how it is. I don't want your sympathy. I've got a job and a business to run - I am bloody lucky. Bloody lucky and I never forget it. One other thing I never forget is who pays my mortgage. And whatever I think about the people who do (and there are some good customers, really good ones as well as some less likeable ones) they never see me without a smile. Because above all I RESPECT their decisions and their choice to work with me/us. But you know what, if you're going to BLAME me AGAIN for the woeful, inadequate performances on the pitch and question MY right to free speech you can take your football club and shove it where the sun don't shine. Tomorrow afternoon, I have decided to re-turf my lawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRobbie Posted 20 February, 2009 Share Posted 20 February, 2009 So the net result of Wotte's comments would seem to be: 1. Fans like LG3C staying away. 2.

If you did come, and paid, I would at least have the deceny to make a go of the turfing and if it went tits up, wouldn't blame you for it... of course, if there was only one of you and you hadn't been shouting appropriate words of encouragement, perhaps I would blame you.

Nick - thank goodness that this chap has got up off his ar*e to do something positive (whether you agree with what he's doing or not). A lot of people are idealistic in their teens and that's just as well because by the time most people get to be middle-aged their idealism has vanished. Probably nothing of any note would have happened if it hadn't been this idealistic 16 yo. The middle-aged AWM would have moaned but done nothing.

Probably nothing of any note would have happened if it hadn't been this idealistic 16 yo. The middle-aged AWM would have moaned but done nothing. Well is it positive if you dont agree?? im all for the marches if the protest is peaceful and the support like last time is carried on in the ground. I dont know of many if any 16 year olds who have a grasp of what running a large business entails.He no doubt has a bit about him to do what he has done, but what is he expecting or promising if the march should all of a sudden make the CEO leave? What do the marchers really think they are marching for? What alternative have they guarentees of?The LC soundbites sound good, the clubs shares are now at very low levels, his 2m surely could be added to to get to the £4m the club is now worth by the share price.Or is he also using the fans so he can get the power for nothing,similar to how IMO the Wilde bunch went about it. Many promises but no suibstance.MC LM and LC could now buy the club as the value has dropped dramatically, will they tell the matchers that the are going to do so? If they did i may also join as at least they would at last be putting their money where their mouth is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
