    I remember the days on this board when you could question the validity of posts without receiving replies containing malice before thought

    Or it is a point of comparison whereby a company or whoever seeks improvement from so could be used in this context. Again, no need for you to slight someone is there?

    I said it before.
    The egomaniacal parrot must get some gratification from deriding and insulting all and sundry.
    Coupled with his sophomoric humour, his posts are fatuous.

    What is a definition of benchmark?
    "); display: inline-block; height: 24px; width: 24px; transform: rotateZ(-180deg);">

    bench·mark ˈbench-ˌmärk. : something that serves as a standard by which others may be measured or judged. a stock whose performance is a benchmark against which other stocks can be measured. : a point of reference from which measurements may be made.

    No you just pay off the interest and the gullible fans provide the rest.

    Angus is talking about moving on. Would you be interested in a well paid job in club finance

    It's easy just pay the interest for say 20 years then sell the club for four times the debt which is then passed on to the new owners.

    Ridsdale almost caused the ruin of Leeds Utd, so deserves all his "slighting"

    Seeking improvement is good, gambling your financial viability is quite another thing.

    So your slight about not understanding the meaning of “benchmark” was aimed at Ridsdale. Got it. I apologise

    Strictly speaking, words don't have definitions...dictionaries give example of common usage only.


    No-one aspires to bad things. Do you think that the five murders committed by Jack the Ripper is some kind of standard that all serial killers aspire to ?

    No, there are no "benchmarks" for undesirable acts, only those seen as good.
    Benchmarks are a standard for people/organizations to aspire to.

    QED: the damage caused to Leeds United, by Peter Ridsdale, is not and will never be, seen as a "benchmark" for mismanagement of a football club.

    Do you really have so much trouble in understanding this English colloquialism, or are you clearer on this good/bad thing now ?
