And Abdi was widely regarded as the best midfielder in the Championship before he arrived at Hillsborough. *Search function* It sure is easier to be right in hindsight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And many fans I know thought they were unnecessary gambles that didn't improve our starting XI. They were right. Fast forward to 2019 and we're having to sell our stadium to compensate for some of the crap expensive flop signings we've made since summer 2016. I'm not bothered about being 'right'. It's just a sad situation. A totally avoidable one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, you are bothered about being "right". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just shifted ownership of the ground into a new company name so he can get more of his money into the club Edited September 27, 2019 by Stoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean that fans didn't have reservations or concerns. I'd say it's Chansiri that attempted to re-write history with his "I bought Rhodes for the fans" nonsense he came out with a while back. 3 minutes ago, SiJ said: Yeah, course you did.

What about the other thousands of fans who don't bother with OwlsTalk? Everyone was jumping for joy - seriously? 1 minute ago, Stoop said: We haven’t really sold our stadium tho have we?

sonofbert2 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Same old faces pop up to give DC and the club a kicking backed up by made upbollocks in all these types of threads. I've noticed some folk have stopped with the United comparisons though more recently that they always used to spout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
