    Maybe after the past few days any "staffing issues" may be easier to resolve?

    " the sheer enjoyment you’ve given us on here and ‘over the road.’"

    Thanks mate, that's very kind.

    You're quite right in your observations. I could've posted bland info and never give hints or whatever. But, at a time when people were checking the threads every 30 seconds I've tried to keep it interesting or, at the very least, a bit funny and lighthearted.

    The people who hate me, and some really do, will obviously see that as lying or embellishment ...

    .... what they miss is that I'm not posting for them, they're absolutely nothing to me.

    I'm posting for the decent people like yourself and the many friends I have on here and in real life.

    Thanks again and, yes, I'd love to share a few pints with you.

    I'd be gutted if one of the resolved staffing issues turns out to be parkinson.

    As hate is such a strong word, I really hope there is no one on any messageboard that genuinely "hates" you because of what you have posted in the past or present.

    Then that is an incredibly sad state of affairs for them and I would like to think if they met you over a pint things would change

    Sounds promising to me, can’t see the point of getting everyone together and wasting their time if it’s just to say that someone refuses to budge on their part of the investment/takeover.

    I’ll file that under ‘interesting snippet’.

  11. They would never agree to meet mate......most of them are cowards who hide behind their weaknesses.

    I dou
    I doubt there'd be one with the cojones to meet you and admit what they said .
    The best you could hope for is a few mumbling wannabes unable to make eye contact and constantly looking for the exit is.

    QSI buying into Leeds by looks if it. You do wonder whether we should have tried getting them interested.

    That’s another level altogether, and they are desperate to get into English football.

    The fund is worth $338 billion, if you’re asking...

    Now don’t you start man woman man!!!!. Look, I’ll extend the offer to you as well. And just so you know I’m leaving the pet kangaroo at home in the sun.
    Seriously though, it would be nice to put faces to a few names.
