    Thanks to some jokers on here I now cant get the Cortese/Michael Corleone image out of my head. Have visions of him walking up to Reed going "you broke my heart Les" before giving him the kiss of death.

    Before an emissary approaches Ralph at Les’ funeral and says “Nicola wants you to know it’s nothing personal. It’s just business, he always liked you”.

    What 3 posts are you suggesting we merge Ides? The Hunter thread is worthy of its own surely........cant figure which other thread you would like merged unless I have missed something?
    Edit two below in the list are read only.

    We have a "General Sports Thread" that can cover the rugby.

    Much as I would love more of the readers of this board to enjoy rugby, I have to agree with you Tom. Having said that, we do have a Cricket thread...

    And how big is that thread? There is a lot more cricket discussion than rugby.

    Sorry, that came across as a bit grouchy. Wasn't intended that way.

    So we have a non-footballing person in charge of the football side, and an owner that won’t spend any money.

    Fantastic.

    The ownership board is:

    Mr Gao
    Nelly Gao
    Kat Liebherr
    Ms Li
    Ralph Krueger

    So none with any experience of making footballing decisions. Ms Li might be a wildcard though

    That was my first thought too. That is actually terrifying to be honest.

    That had to be the worst interview ever for Krueger-waffle.

    But it sounds like the Reed decision came as a surprise to him? And that no one running our football club has any experience in football at the moment. This article has made me a lot more worried about our future than if they had just stayed silent

    Yeah when you cut through the waffle and put it in simple terms it sounds like:

    Gao is skint and spent all his money buying the club
    The only way we have money to spend is if we sell
    Krueger is running the football side of the show
    Hughes is going to be around for a while yet

    "No plans to spend in January or invest further at this stage". Good job everything is rosy or we could be in trouble.
