    <doh> Not at all. With an understanding of the English language, you too would realize that words like "all the other" and "out there" refers to individuals beyond this conversation.

    Nevertheless, with all your other delusional/WUM comments here, no one actually takes anything you post here seriously and considers it to be of any value. Although your sarfloondin mates may be the exception.

    doesn't state 'stepped down' but it is clear they have removed him and quite forcefully. Superb news we've been waiting for for a long time

    Now we can build from a clean foundation

    Aside from promotion this is the best news we could have gotten. I've been as critical as anyone of gfh but fair play to them for clearing out every last memory of the past regime. Bates Williams Harvey and warnock all gone in six months. I wonder when will more of our unwanted rubbish players have their contracts terminated

    Some online reports have the headline that he stepped down but then you read the story and it is never confirmed that he actually stepped down, it sounds more like pushed out the door. I am pretty sure there is more to it than we know, I am not worried and doubt any lawsuits are on their way, I am just mildly curious to the real reasons. My bet is that he is about to invest in another team, god help them.

    Does anyone think we haven't heard the end of this though with Bates? He hasn't actually come out and said anything himself yet. But you get the feeling that he'll have to get the last word in!

    Great announcement yesterday though, all the **** flushed out of our club at last.

    There are two theories I like for why this has happened:

    1. Jonny's KB about to buy another club, and please let it be Millwall - don't really believe it but it would be amusing

    2. someone wanting to put in HUGE sums (investor, or sponsor, don't care) insisted on it and we can now expect BM to have more money for players than he knows what to do with - I have decided to believe this one, because I can <laugh>

    From the sound of the announcement last night it sounds like there's been a massive bust bust up between GFH and Bates. I think it was Peacock or Ristac pointed out that announcement was cold like there is no love loss between both parties. I've never read/heard an announcement in football that was worded like that before

    He was pushed out
