Thespence Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 This board, that board, I am bored. But really Ash has splashed the cash already this year in buying the club & paying the debts off. I think the club will be using the money it generates to pay for players etc in the future & with the TV money getting given in the summer it will be then that we will do any big deals. Of course if a club knockd out of the CL has overspent & is looking to sell a player we need to be ready to pounce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir John Hall's first season as owner? Bought the club for £4m and appointed Keegan resulting in 5 glorious years. Ashley's first season as owner?

Why the differentiation between owner and chairman ie SJH and FS ? Same major shareholder during all of this time - AND - as we have said before, Shepherd, Fletcher and Hall Jnr appointed Keegan, NOT Sir john Hall, so you shouldn't give him the credit for it. Also, you couldn't get a better track record than Dalglish at the time, but you are right to point out our first FA Cup Final in 24 years. I still say the club should go for europe this season, I can't see why they put it off. He would look at the money spent as money to take control of the club, as an investment. And so the ambition starts from now. Or not, as the case may be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE5? You? What has NE5 or you argued that can be attributed to anything that Mort has said. Where has he said that we wont be aigning any players in Jan? Ive seen him say that signing defenders wont be the answer, ive seen him say we will be looking to invest primarily in youth, and ive also heard him say that as of yet, no targets have been outlined becasue SA has pitched anything to him. do you see where the difference in our arguments lie? ....probably not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you not want a player who will improve the team in asap ? I don't see why you should not always be looking to improve your team, thats what football is all about. We have half the season left, we could qualify for europe with a couple of good players for the right positions, so why do you want to write it off and why would you support the board if they took the same stance. As I've said, I find such an attitude from them to be very worrying. In fact, to coin a word you used yourself, its a shit approach. And, you WERE losing your cool, as HTL pointed out.

And if you've only supported the club since 1992, then the last few years have been comparitively not too good. But if you've supported the club longer than that, they have been a long way short of s***, and for that, you'll have to take my word for it. no i wont, there are many other sources of information, i dont have to take your word for anything, you've never said anything thats changed my views, as i'm sure i've never said anything thats changed yours, might aswell just pack it in You're absolutely right I won't change my view. But if you are interested in hearing how shit the club was for decades from the 1950's up until 1992, just ask. I'll tell you the truth, as always. I've no axe to grind and no bias, other than with the directors who destroyed the club I spent 30 years supporting and watching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howaythelads Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 i refuse to believe there's just a simple fan/chairman relationship going on with NE5 and Shepherd, its baffling mate, honestly, how you spin things to suit, for example saying things like 'they're happy with mid table mediocrity this season' etc etc, you've removed all context, i'll be happy with mid table this season, it'll be an improvement, we've been s*** for years and we need to build back up to strength, i just DONT understand you I take it you haven't read Morts comments about spendign in January [/astonished] You must be someone else who can't accept bare facts laid out in front of you, when they don't suit your opinions ? Basically, if the club don't act to fill glaring hole in the team, and say they won't act, what conclusion do you draw ? We haven't been s*** for years either BTW. I thought you were one of the better posters, until you said that. yeah, i've seen his comments, it made sense to me, i'm giving him a clean slate so i'll wait until the end of the season to make my judgement on how their first season in charge went, given the circumstances bare facts? we're specualting over what the club MIGHT do in january, there are no facts yet, and facts change my opinions, so, eh, what? i'm not sure if its a break down in communication but as far as i'm aware by saying years that can class as 2 years at the least, and i feel pretty assured that we've been s*** for at least two years, i dont really mind what you think of me well, I suppose if you've followed the club for 5 or 6 years, then the last 2 years could seem a long time. And if you've only supported the club since 1992, then the last few years have been comparitively not too good. But if you've supported the club longer than that, they have been a long way short of s***, and for that, you'll have to take my word for it. no i wont, there are many other sources of information, i dont have to take your word for anything, you've never said anything thats changed my views, as i'm sure i've never said anything thats changed yours, might aswell just pack it in Aye, and other sources of information will confirm that we have been a damn sight worse in previous decades than in the last couple of years.

Howaythelads Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 There is no wrong time to buy quality players if they are available. Well said that man......!!!!!! It doesn't take a genius to work this out, but sometimes you have to wonder, given how difficult this seems for some people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
