FFS I'm trying to keep the thread on topic so removed all the blatant schoolyard namecalling and bickering posts People don't log on to a football forum to read members bickering between each other or asking why bickering posts have disappeared If you want to argue amongst yourselves about who's a troll etc - that's fine but do it not in this thread as it derails the thread This is nothing new - we've always done it - otherwise every thread descends into schoolyard bickering Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m out This is exactly why I don't allow people to get into personal arguments in threads as it leads to angry tunnel vision and the desire to keep going at it despite it totally derailing threads Prime example right here Tell someone not to start 'you're a troll' 'no youre a troll' stuff in a football thread and they storm off spitting the dummy calling me a dictator Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"There's none so blind as those that cannot see" I just think that battering someone so clearly failing and out of his depth won't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how do you suggest we help someone who's ego won't allow him to admit mistakes and has shown himself completely unwilling to listen to suggestions from fan groups or employees?

That in itself is a weakness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Farrell Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 28 minutes ago, steelowl said: anyone buying a football club has to expect criticism - no one should ever abuse his family I reckon he saw the adoration and tears when MM left and thought blimey this is gonna be easy to be a god round these parts I am very critical and have my eyes fully opened for the last 3 years However I actually want whoever is our owner to succeed before it's too late for the older ones of us this present one needs to perform a volte-face in ethos of pricing, fan customer relations, and selection of advisers, I'm not holding my breath Don't get me wrong, he needs a massive change in approach to have any chance of recovering this. Every aspect of his failed plan is arguably awful. I still want him to turn it round though. He can start by bringing someone capable in with a free reign, and then going home to let them get on with sorting his mess out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure what you say is accurate but who is going to pay the kind of price that Chansiri would deem acceptable knowing that, even if they did, turning the financial situation at the club would take a season or two because of P & S restrictions?
