    At least we can agree we both dont want him. I dont agree with your second point.

    IMO by a country mile he js the worst owner we or any other club have ever had. Only Oyston at blackpool comes close.

    So the other barstewards who almost ended the existence of our club are ok then? <doh>

    Like him or not, this guy has brought stability to the club, even with GFH hacking his legs with cleavers. We have had more investment in the last 2 seasons than in the preceding 10 years.

    So is being filthy rich the only criteria for his replacement? Perhaps someone could give Sir Philip Green a ring. He's filthy rich.

    With respect.
    I never said they were ok. I dont believe he has gven us stability, its all smoke and mirrors imo. I deliberately didnt denegrate you with face palms or facetious last sentences any chance of offering me the sane courtesy? Its my opinion and i am certain it will prove to be correct in time.

    Not only that, he would be clearly undermining Garry Monk because he would be buying players from this investment group, who still own the players economic rights, solely for profit, without knowing if the manager wants them. Those defending this on the basis it's "legal" really need to read Ell's attachment and take a good look at what they are supporting.

    With respect, in saying that Cellino is the worst ever owner, you are effectively saying that you'd have them back instead of him, even the ones that took us to the brink of oblivion. Is it any surprise I used the face palm? Do you realise exactly what you are saying? You are evidently saying that being on the brink of oblivion is more acceptable than having Cellino as owner. You've been very clear. I think the face palm is justified, personally.

    The last sentence isn't addressed specifically to you. Nor is it facetious. There seems to be a consensus that the replacement for Cellino should be filthy rich. I am simply trying to point out the folly of this over-simplistic view.

    I might be in a minority of one but that doesnt bother me. I think we are as close to the brink of oblivion than we have ever been. Sadly i am so disaffected by cellinos actions that i would rather see the club hit the wall than him stay involved.


    Yep i realise what i just said. I really dont care how the club does whilst he is here anymore. He isnt a price worth paying as far as i am concerned.

    Time to go Spain, come back in 2years when Cellino's gone and we are back in the perm.we will all still be here supporting the club through thick and thin, and TC will still spend more time in Germany than here.

    Ffs, it'd been more of a shock if Cellino wasn't one of the people implicated <laugh>

    Why do you two start every sentence to each other with "I respectfully disagree" etc? You can't both be royalty or tainted by the same scandal, even if Parsley is involved, so why can't you just say "you're wrong fool but we can still imbibe together"?
