    I know Beddy mate, but I don't wear rose tinted glasses. I see things aren't wonderful right now, but that's compared to what we've had. I see how and what they are doing. That's all.

    As for the "bitching" comment, I stand by it. It might be you expressing your view which your entitled to, but when I see it happen over and over, and always when a player leaves or we don't spend to the level people want, I still see it as bitching, or moaning, if you prefer a less offensive word. That's me expressing my view.

    Ps. Copy and paste this in the summer, next January, the summer after, the January after. It's going to carry on in the same loop as the last four years. Or until our ownership or plan changes.

    I saw this and thought of our optimistic fans. Apologies for the crap artwork.

    I'm sure Charlton agreed when they replaced him with Pardew, fortunately he turned them around and took them to...22nd in the Championship.

    (Les Reed) had about six weeks, that was all the time he had, with nothing to work with.

    So he knows how Claude feels :emoticon-0105-wink:

    As I've said before. We know nothing about what is going on, and unless we become major shareholders we shouldn't. Obviously I'd like to see a young striker signed up quickly. If he doesn't come here then the club can't reach an agreement with him or his agent and thus we don't want him. End of. I am not trusting the club blindly. I am trusting them because it is the only way to keep my sanity! :emoticon-0138-think

    Not sure what Les's ability as a first team coach has to do with his ability to negotiate transfer deals tbh.

    Im pretty glad that people don't judge my current and future performance as an IT contractor based on the quality of a soup I made 30 years ago as a chef. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Yeah, i mean it's not like we got ~67million in transfer fees this season, and only spent around 40 of it...plus the massive 100mil TV deal

    I didn't call them tight wads in jest, it's a fact.

    I would rather our club be run properly, And within its means than go down the route of Portsmouth.

    Indeed, if it was a choice between one or the other. But there is some middle ground.

    We cannot continuously improve year on year, We are always going to struggle at some stages.

    We're negotiating - if he was worth the supposed money Napoli wanted then another club would have paid it by now.

    They will come down in price. A player whose contract is running down and is not playing does not increase in value.

    Oh my.... it never stops. Do people not get how they want to run the club after all this time?

    I do agree and I wasn't saying otherwise. I am generally happy with how we are run considering the investment available.

    We sell players and then buy players with about half to 3/4 the money. The rest covers the wages for the player for how long a contract he signs. We haven't got the 100m yet, you don't get it in a lump sum.

    I heard that United still owed us some money on Morgan...if so, will they carry on payments as planned or cough up now they have shipped Morgan. Unless the rest of what is owed is based on appearances and therefore cancelled.
