I retract my scum jibe too. Sorry mate, did not intentionally show a lack of respect. I've taken out the first phrase of post #10 as I can see that it might be inflammatory. It wasn't meant in that way. If there's anything else, let me know.
Irish me old mucker, good point!! Then again, Blackwell picked some poor players for that Final, we lacked pace and got done with our players lacking belief and commitment.
And nice to see some respect shown lads. Bates is trying to drive a wedge between supporters, he has already branded the first dissenting voices morons and continues to spin any complaints as destructive to the club and idiotic behaviour. We have to stand together on the Bates issue and get him out of our club. The voices are growing louder and he is starting to squirm, regardless of all his arrogant bravado. He is not liking the dissent being shown against him, and as this grows he will soon realise his job is to work for the good of the club and its supporters, not himself!!!
I thought we would have to pay creditors 5 million if we get back to the premiership before the 2016/17 season
Surely us going up would be more appealing to investors, then Mr Bates can get his final pay day before he departs this mortal coil all the way to hell.
We do, but that's a drop in the ocean compared with what we'll earn (if you're implying it would put Bates off from getting us promoted if he could be arsed).
Bates can wait aslong as he want though cant he, once we get to that season if we then go up he will get the 90 million for going to premiership plus he wont have to pay creditors.
