In my book you earn respect. How anyone can respect a two faced lying bastard, who doesn't keep his word is beyond my comprehension.
But the Allams don't read from your book, they have their own rules, traditions, standards and ethics; however morally corrupt they appear, it's how they work. Anybody hoping to buy us will have to somehow work around that.
Yup. Idiots. To quote Blackadder: "It is so often the way, sir, too late one thinks of what one should have said. Sir Thomas More, for instance, burned alive for refusing to recant his Catholicism, must have been kicking himself, as the flames licked higher, that it never occurred to him to say, "I recant my Catholicism."
Oh, the irony! Ridiculous, but true; possibly the only "well done" you'll ever get in real life, or in your Walter Mitty web-search-intensive alter-ego. Poor Benny, and his BFF. I suggest you quit while you're ahead.
If you are working with such large sums then most would consider putting in place the right manager and infrastructure is a wise move. Spending wisely and timely might then follow. If they had said sensible, decent things they might have got more slack, but they didn't. But you know that.
Strangely, I think you hit on a point that has not been given sufficient scrutiny; the relationship between SB and EA. If EA had lost as much confidence in SB as many of us then it is difficult to criticise his stance; except to say he should have got rid sooner - but promotion muddied the waters, just as a very few of us said it would do, many months before.
Not me I'm still smarting from that Portuguese chap taking our jobs Askew can move a bit closer and get his ear to the door to try and find out
I do wonder if askew camping out there put the pressure on them to get a good manager in. Oh Ive still got the catering gig, my Piri Piri .Chicken did the trick. I sent Ryan to couplands for a long stand this morning, still hasn't come back yet.
Seems like a last throw of the Premiership dice... A new owner will only come with top league football and top league cash....If anyone was close they would of been some sniff from somewhere... Silva was on the first list when Brucewent was he not??
