I'm Hawyatt Earp on RTG and I think Donald has consistently made bad decisions on the footballing side and has shown significant naivety in how to run a club this size. He's appointed his buddies in senior roles and his business partner on the board and all in, those areas his friends are in charge of, have seen significant decline.

I have strong opinions on Methven too but should they have rescued this deal with our (eventual) new owners, I'll be the first to congratulate them

I'm Chunksafc on both sites.

I think Short had good intentions and was badly let down by people he employed

I think SD and CM have learnt an awful lot about how different our club is to what they are used to at Oxford and Eastleigh. They have done some good things and some bad things, but if at then end of it they have managed to get 3 major investors on board then I wont be complaining to much

I'm sad-eyed prophet and on RTG I'm sad-eyed prophet.

I too think the scouting system,recruitment and the Academy has been sadly neglected,for which the management must take responsibility.
Everyone at the club must realise that first and foremost we are a football club, and whilst external activities are important and need to be maximised, nothing is more important than performance on the field of play......nothing!

I'm pretty sure these Americans will want to be the best and therefore I am hoping that their involvement when it happens will quickly result in the establishment of some best in class excellence in every department of our club.......with the football coming first!

Don't know what exactly it was tbh. Don't know how to find out. I was giving someone grief who was created a thread to slyly have a go at one poster. And generally got sick of people slagging club off for any daft little thing. Not really bothered about finding out. Asked one of mods to delete my account but don't know if they have.

Who said 'he was a nice lad for walking away'?
I know I said he deserves praise, thanks for pumping north of 150m that he will never get back.
How much has donald put in?
I know he deserves praise for when after he walked he wrote off the remaining debt
When he came into the club ( after buying out the jolly paddies ) we were in serious debt and heading for the poor house. He wrote off or capitalised 60m of debt courtesy of roy keane buying ****e with no resale value.
He may not be a nice lad but he spent more than donald ever will. He stopped us going under.
The disdain some hold him in just for hiring a woman as CEO is bewildering

TBH mate, I haven't seen anyone, ever, anywhere say that.

I hold her in disdain for her actions but certainly not because she's a woman ....

... Moyes isn't a woman and I think less of him than almost anyone in football.

It's got sweet fa to do about her been a woman. It's her handing out contracts to players worth hundreds of thousands per year over a long period, handling of the AJ situation etc. Short also appointed jokers like de fanti etc. Name me one appointment he got right (manager, ceo , DoF...) during his time? Aside from BSA.

Yeah, he wrote off the debt. I'm grateful for that. But his decisions during his ownership were awful, and ultimately we're in league 1 because of what happened while he was owner.

She was/is an utter disgrace. Totally inexperienced for the role.

Exactly was nothing to do with her being a woman was to do with her being absolutely ****e at the job.

Moyes could be a man/woman/tranny/whateverthefuckitisnow and i'd still hate him the same either way.
