    Overall Hitler got a lot of things right.

    Took a country on it's knees financially, riddled with warring factions and united the whole country ...

    ... Donald has made us worse than when he arrived, appointed a dreary manager and replaced young prospects with has been bench warmers.

    The sooner he's gone the better, if he stayed another two years he could finish us off.

    He hasn't attracted wealthy new owners, the club, the history and the support have done done that.

    If he had Fleetwood in the same position they wouldn't touch us with a bargepole.

    Not after the new year, no free movement from within the EU, so they will need UK grandparents.

    They had a job to do getting rid of excessive staff and costs but I think it was overdone in the case of the academy , the loss of so many promising youngsters is heartbreaking and we received a pittance in compensation - they could have been our future . The takeover will I hope give us the opportunity to regenerate the academy and in time produce more homegrown players for the team and stop the influx of journeymen and passed their best players that have made their way to the SOL . Elsewhere within the club some vastly over staffed departments needed trimming and were , unfortunately Stewart Donald found jobs for his pals and negated some of the savings .

    You've got to wonder how they are going to manage this in the FA and EFL. Loads of non-uk players who aren't regular internationals infest our teams throughout the league's. Are they gonna make special dispensation for those already here and have been a while, what are the cut off points going to be, what are the new regulations behind work permits going to be......
    Loads of questions that need answering and need doing so very very soon.

    The government want it to carry on thats the thing. It was made to sound like Brexit was about controlling immigration but actually its worth far too much money to the government including from football. They will find a way for it to continue thats for sure

    I always love to see your post pop up mate, makes my day <laugh>

    I'm still in contact and messaged the lad earlier, no response yet. He travels a lot on business so it depends on the time zone he's in. The biggest disappointment is when he messages 'hello' in the early hours and I miss him.

    Anyway, while your on I'll give you a little treasure hunt. If you check back, on the forums, for any mentions of Tonna and Exagon you'll find a mate of mine who knows the Dreyfus family through Robert when he was at a huge pharmaceutical research company. Mr Tonna will become more useful as time goes by for info. I've asked a few little questions but he's an extremely private, and cautious, fella so I'm not going to swamp him with questions. I need to keep my powder dry.

    Plus we really like him, he's a wonderful man.

    Yeah, but they all left pretty quickly as well, pretty much as soon as they could. And they were all very well paid at the time as well to get them there

    I don't know mate, I'm sure Juninho and Emerson stayed with them in the championship and helped them go straight back up? Can't be sure about others but I'm certain them 2 did.
