Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Mort is an intelligent and sensible man who carried out his decision making in that vein which at a pretty volatile club like ours is very much needed, especially now. I'd welcome him back with open arms. He's not a yes man either. You sense Mike Ashley values his opinion and experience. Furthermore he has no agendas which you couldn't safely say about any of the others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 It was Mort who put the whole hated "system" in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 It was Mort who put the whole hated "system" in place. Spot on because if Ashley had of got his man (Arry Redknapp) then I very much doubt the "system" would have happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 It was Mort who put the whole hated "system" in place. It wasn't hated at the time though as everyone's roles appeared to have been defined. Yet that change during Keegan's tenure, which appeared to be the problem.

Guest Heneage Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Good for the club. Llambias has been a disaster tbph. How? I'm not on either side. But it seems bit like Wise guilty by association. Either way I'd like Mort, he seemed very media savvy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toonlass Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Would like to see Mort back. At least he communicated with the fans and the media, unlike the "silent man" Llambias. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Everything did seem to fall apart after he left, would love to have him back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I really don't think we would have been in all of this mess if Mort had stayed on. I agree Tooj - Mort's return would be a fantastic boost for both club and fans. He was highly-respected during his time as Chairman and I for one would be delighted to see him back. Ashley would be a fool NOT to reinstate him if he has any intention of keeping the club and frankly, even a new owner could do much worse than employ him as Chairman ; he learned the ropes very quickly and kept the fans informed. Fingers crossed...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Cracking news, is this Ashley's first step towards showing he wants to keep the club? We need to voice our support for Mort.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Good for the club. Llambias has been a disaster tbph. He's been an absolute nightmare quite frankly. He was one of the people who oversaw this whole mess, yet he seems to abstain from receiving any criticism from a lot of folk. I'd agree 100% with that. He's done a s*** job since he came in June/July and I'm glad Ashley has had the sense to bin him. Should never have been appointed. Have i missed something, has Llambias been chucked?

Should never have been appointed. Have I missed something? Ashley hasn't binned him or if he has then it's been done on the quiet. All we have is something by Luke Edwards which tells us about Mort being willing to come back yet it doesn't carry a single quote from Chris saying that he'd come back. Edwards has probably picked up on Mort being at the Spurs game and come up with something which may be far from the truth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NorwegianMag Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I hope so. The way Llambias smiled during the hull-loss made my go totally mental. What a cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 If Mort came back, I'd be satisified with how things were going if Ashley were to take the club off the market. As things are going atm, he's not going to sell. The least we can do is sort things out in the current regime. Bin Llambias, bring back Mort. Let's rebuild this club!

Guest Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Would be the clearest indication yet that Ashley's wanting to give it a second go. Question is, would the fans who've been wanting him out accept that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 If we go back to the way things were Mort and Ashley i would be happy - fact If Ashley was prepared to reinvest the money NUFC makes plus the 20mil he promised per season, i would be happy - fact Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I wouldn't be surprised if Luke Edwards has seen the thread that HTT started and has had a stab in the dark about why Mort was at the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
