Jim Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Fans who are moaning about the state of the club now should watch those videos and also take a look at the state of a club not too far way from us and think you know something we haven’t got it bad at all? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 We owe so much to old Milan Mandaric. Club was on its knees, Alan Irvine lurching us towards League 2, a judge's gravel away from being bust, Sg Wilko effectively trying to run the club. Old Milan put his wrinkly bits on the line and started to fix it all. Legend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopping the Mammadov deal. Didnt have our best interests at heart he wouldn't have bothered to stop it. Or did he just stop it because Mammadov didn't have any money to give him in the end. Would like to think it was the first option personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysticOwl Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I remember it all.... The 00's were indeed dark days. As soon as the year 2000 came, there just seemed an air of confusion in football and in my own personal life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was due the money we owe him when we reach the PL. This was the agreement prior to DC coming in. Not sure that is still the case.

Not sure Either way my point remains He didn't appear like Mary Poppins out of the clouds to come rescue a football team he's never heard of The fact that fans played it out like that and that became the myth would have helped him massively tho Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Blaming other people for your own shortcomings pretty much sums up a cretin. Can bet Chessie fans will confirm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
