In reply to: Same Old Story 's message, "Its a literal fact that Marinakis has invested less per annum than the Khan's. You are absolutely barking up the wrong tree here. Has that money been invested better? Possibly. In which case you should be moaning about our scouts, the players themselves, or dare I say it, the manager. But the 'highly ambitious owner who will stop at nothing' schtick you use is an utter nonsense. At best you could say he's made slightly better recruitment (playing and non playing) decisions." on Friday, June 20, 02:04:36pm

Used to be quite a revolutionary forum, few newcomers have taken it to full levels. Why shouldn’t the board be criticised. Much of what they do is dreadful , why does everyone have to be meek and mild to suit the you? (NT) -- DD, Friday, June 20, 03:07:17pm (NoHost/193.148.16.6)
- No idea what happened there but point is it’s a shame newcomers to this forum have persuaded others to dig anyone out who criticises the board. (NT) -- DD, Friday, June 20, 03:21:31pm (NoHost/193.148.16.6)
  - I would hardly describe myself as a newcomer to this board or as someone who is never critical of senior management . What I do have difficulty with is someone who, for sometime, relentlessly hijacked every single thread to his one tracked obsession with TK. To me he is a self seeker who lacks nuance and brings nothing new to the debate but it is up to others to make their own minds up - but I personally think life is too short to waste time engaging with him (NT) -- f bloke, Friday, June 20, 03:49:32pm (NoHost/90.199.253.116)
    - +10000000, f bloke. (NT) -- He's an utter waste of oxygen., Friday, June 20, 03:59:49pm (NoHost/89.47.62.94)
    - Bit sensitive are we , ‘f-bloke ‘? Getting personal , declaring your intentions not to engage with me then displaying the cowardice to ask others to do the same . Who cares what you or I think? It’s just an old fans forum inhabited predominantly by certain long -term posters who seem to get rattled quite easily . Have you ever wondered why it is ‘trolled’ so often ? Anyway hearty congrats on your announcement !🎉 (NT) -- Mickey, Friday, June 20, 04:08:00pm (host109-155-85-130.range109-155.btcentralplus.com/109.155.85.130)
