Juke had 18 months left on his contract when we sold him. I agree that it is not given that we would have avoided relegation with Juke in the team, but then very few things in life are "given" - death and taxes perhaps... However, I believe that our chances of avoiding relegation would have...

I find it oddly disturbing when I agree with you.........

One of the stalwarts of the team when I started watching Cov - RIP Ernie.

If a player comes on trial, it seems a reasonable assumption that there is some interest on both sides, but one (or both) party isn't sure - otherwise, why bother with a trial? I very much doubt that the manager is the deciding influence in many transfers (particularly at this level) - call me...

Yes you did - you invaded Poland! Or is that the thread about the new attacking midfielder trialist.................

Sonia was the first Sky Monday Night game at HR.Seem to remember we won 1-0 with a goal from John "He's so fast it's unbelievable" Williams.

Only if Grendel is online :D

It's certainly true to say that having debt in those far off days was a lot cheaper (and a lot easier to finance when required) than it is now. However debt (in the context we're talking about it here - i.e. money owed by the club/business to third parties) is a liability and I don't think even...

I agree that when SISU took over the club, a proportion of the debt was taken over by them. Nothing unusual there. In what way was this "similar to the sub-prime debt that started the whole financial crisis"? I'm intrigued.....

Then the consultant that appointed the doctor should either have made sure that the doctor was the right man for the job and/or supervised him to make sure that the patient was progressing as expected. I really don't understand why you seem unable to accept that SISU have any responsibility...

A half decent doctor treats the patient before gangrene sets in!

I promise not to write again on this - honest.... However, as we've corresponded before, we seem to have different experience of how PE companies work. In my experience, whilst Board meetings go on a straight vote and whilst the budget is the key instrument of control - the shareholders'...

I have a feeling that we're never going to agree on this, but what the hell..... Your position appears to be (and I apologise in advance for the paraphrase) that SISU provided the finance and left all operational matters to the "football experts" and that therefore all (or at least, pretty...

I note the use of the singular.

Trying to find all the posts praising our brilliant free scoring forwards. Still looking..... Must be here somewhere........

It can be tricky these days to know which ones are the new squad members and which ones are the school kids there on a day trip..........

Fair enough - but would you then accept the comment about the silly "Messiah" comments?

So far this close season has been better than I'd feared. Still expect Keogh to go (and if he - understandably - won't sign a new contract, then I think that's fair enough), but if he's replaced with another CB and if we can get in another goal scorer then things would be starting to look...

Where did he say that EVERY critic only refers to physique? I can happily accept that some people are unhappy with AT, but I do find that more and more posts are refuting arguments that have not been put. On one of the many recent threads (may be this one - can't be arsed to check), there...
