Re-read...almost disgusted lol..Is that help and understanding enough?

Hahaha..Don't be the first to do it then!

It goes on....and on...Wes Brown was witty (apparently). Craig can do a mean short back and sides! I am almost disgusted by it...

It is unfortunate that so many of us did not know the extent of what was going on at the club at the time or the methods adopted to keep people quiet. Ironic as it sounds now, I had always relied on the LT and Radio Lancs!! I have nothing but respect for MCMC 1875 and I was present at one EWMC supporters' meeting, when one individual reported a very disturbing, threatening phone call to his home...The rest I have merely read about in Glenn Mullan's stuff and from posts on this very site. I have no evidence linking our owners to the threatening behaviour, referred to above. What I will say is that very bad things went on before, during and after the disastrous sale. Clearly, secrecy was a prerequisite to enable this bad behaviour to continue, uninterrupted. Threatening behaviour, along with bribery, helped maintain that secrecy. It was all on the owners' watch.

I know Salgado disclosed a few things, but which other former player was helpful in disclosing information?

Haha..To be honest, I don't think it has been all that great, since Brad. Since Robinson, though, goalkeeping errors really have cost us a lot of points. Before that, Darren Collier didn't delight, but, at least he only played a few games. John Butcher didn't inspire either.... Generally, we have been blessed with the likes of Sir Roger, Jim Arnold and Gennoe before Jack's money...

Hahaha

Well Conway sends all the wrong signals for me...

Broken heart...sorry, no , that's mine...

Really? There have been a few things that might support his ..er..hypothesis....e.g. Brereton...there...said it!

Acceptance = operation dumbimg down complete...

And your reaction to the news is what? ....delight....acceptance...

Not what I wanted to hear...

I do get your point and I know this is a personal decision. For what it is worth, I decided it is not about martyring myself, but about the actual difference a boycott makes at a given time. I judged there was little point to a boycott last year and so I got a half season ticket.....and I am glad I witnessed the promotion. However, even at Doncaster, I was mindful that we were celebrating a return to the very level that had sent us into angry despair back in 2012...

You are very generousPaul Downing Marcus Antonsson Mitchel Candlin Paul Caddis Kasey Palmer Jack Payne Rekeem Harper You are being very polite or very generous. I would have no hesitation in adding Hart, Gladwin, Nuttall, Harper, Palmer and Samuel to the list of bad signings. Certainly, there are far too many of them. There are a couple I have never heard of. Are they the future? Probably not lol.

Certainly not by "forgetting" to inform the old captain!

Flitcroft replaced by Barry Ferguson....wasn't managed well by Souey...

Sorry. My bad...Forgot about 2015! But I do think it is significant that in four out of six Championship seasons we finished 17th, 15th, 22nd ..and we are currently 14th with one game to go.

But some gave red card performances...

Agreed. To be honest, I felt a bit embarrassed that we didn't lay a glove on them really and we were on TV in front of the nation. Since the infestation, we have never been in contention. I think all but one of our seasons in the Championship have seen us finish in the bottom half of the table...and we have been in relegation trouble for three of those seasons. This is why I am resistant to the forgetful, "start again" analysis that focuses on the fact that we only came up last year...so we should be satisfied etc. Last year was merely an anaesthetic ,or an escapist trip away from Venky Hell....The summer will reveal so much, but let's not hold our collective breath.

As in... still here?

Well, at least the club is in a strong position, as he signed a new contract last year until 2022...

In the circumstances of our finances, our position in the second tier, our well -known deficits in other areas of the pitch and BB's lack of proven experience, this signing was a real concern to me. Had we used that money differently, I am confident that we could have made the play- offs. Whether we would have been good enough to win them is another matter. Not sure whether Nuttall is any better though!

So is Chaddy Lol

.....or not.
