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. I would suggest that the latter statement is closer to the truth - Mandaric would have had absolutely no qualms about offloading to Mammadov if the moolah had been real and available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you do Milan an injustice, yes he only bought us to make a profittttt, but he breathed life back into not just the club, but the fan base as well.

I agree But my point is that he's not some huge amazing superhero who came to save the club Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the fact he didnt do the deal with Mammadov and found us Chansiri says to me he cared who we went to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Owl 2 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Im just grateful it was MM who stepped in and not some fools like cloud 9. We needed someone to steady the ship and then hand over the reigns. Overall I cant think of anything he did as a chairman to annoy me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveger Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 His underwater bubblephone annoyed me, but he was pretty much a decent guy apart from that and constantly losing his debit card around transfer window time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 The words "Brewery " and "Booze Up" spring to mind when thinking about those in charge who left us on the brink. Luckily they have gone on to have major success at Chesterfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickswfc Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Agree we don't 'owe' Milan anything, but he certainly deserves plaudits for the good job he did. The same way footballers get plaudits for doing well at their job. Anyway that period, don't forgot to remember the AGM. 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. I thought it was dave allen we owed money too if we get to the prem ……... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pod9 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 If he doesn’t deserve to be hailed as a hero for saving our club because he made a profit, does that mean our past legendary players don’t deserve their accolades as they were paid to play for the club?
