Please can this thread not degenerate into self aggrandising, told you so one upmanship.

Obviously I've not got any particular posters in mind. I just think that sort of thing hits a particularly bum note at the moment.

Thanks

1. Seems we may be attracting a few players.....especially ones that like to be paid on time.
2. Jokes about London attendances or lack of them never get old......just like the ink on new directorship ratifications at Bradford never dries.
3. I was 100% spot on in my assessment of RW......that hurts you I know, but I was right and he looks likely to have caused more harm than even I suspected he would!

Yes, you got one thing right and hey, turns out you didn't even need to make up all those facts you tried to pass off as true.

Fair enough. It's not that I take any pleasure in what is happening at Bradford BTW, it's just that if I could see what was happening from 12,000 miles away, then I am stunned that some on here felt the need to attack my observations as "made up" and "groundless".
It's not just Bradford BTW.....there area number of clubs where "owners" like the title and Kudos but have little desire to take any fiscal responsibility. Even in London we have a situation where a potential new investor is being paid by us to try before he buys and this will end in tears too. Upshot is that I suspect natural erosion will reduce SL to 12 clubs by the end of this year with little need for relegation and it's a question of who will be joining London on the scrap heap.

So not actually resigned then . Or handing over in an orderly manor?

Hopefully sense prevailed and everyone is looking forth best solution still for the club.

Couldn't the events of the past week proceeded in house then as it seems the unnecessary panic of the past week could have been avoided with some sensible talks. 3 musketeers still directing the business.

Re: Moore, Calvert and Watt step down : Mon Dec 30, 2013 7:23 pm  

That sounds positive. But I know better than to get any hopes up!
