Dann and Fox still had about 2 years left on their contracts with us, it was up to the Chairman,"football" man and "hard-nosed businessman" Ranson to get the best deal for us that he could. He failed. For a puppet he did seem to spend an awful long time travelling all over the country trying...

All we need now is for ACL to pay us £50,000 for every 9000 fans we bring through the doors and we'll be on as good a deal as the Lawn Tennis Association.

That squad did go places under Coleman and Ranson, 21st and 19th I think? Choose to ignore the trousering of money, and the loans to buy players to a Championship rival then? How many good buys were there in his reign out of all the signings then? Five? Six possibly? He couldn't even sell the...

Gerry Anderson's seemed a bit more lifelike than Ranson though.

I didn't believe a word he was saying when he was Sisu, and still don't! Took an instant dislike to him anyway, saved time.

I'm assuming that you can read, is it just comprehension you have a problem with?

Get the feeling that Compass and some sponsors may have had a word with ACL too.

Cake would work better, and already a saying in place for it.

Lots bang on about Pro-zone, however OSB's analysis shows that it brought very little, if anything at all to the club, in fact took money out of the club, as thios thread here shows: http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/18454-Prozone-and-RR Who exactly knows what this so-called "plan" was...

There are a lot that don't seem to realise he fucking brought them here in the first place!

Yes, I did oppose them taking over the club, whatever, limited, information that there was about them, showed them to be amongst the more ruthless and rapacious of hedge-fund types(a type that being ruthless and rapacious is a given to start with). As i said on a thread the other week, the old...

I don't know where he got that idea from anyway, the fans forums with him were always a sickening, sycophantic lovefest of immense proportions. Some of them still feel the same.

With them we may not have a club now. I also don't know why people keep banging on about "hindsight", whatever is wrong with a bit of "foresight"?

It's a morally reprehensible thing to do though isn't it?

ACL overcharged the club for the rent to such a level that it became unsustainable and then forced them into administration in order to distress the price and pick the club up on the cheap.

Yeah, poor old Ranson. He carried around Sisu for three years in his briefcase like some sort of itinerant Betterware salesman, touting them(and him) to any club that would have them. Unfortunately for us, we were the only ones stupid enough to take them on. To be fair his agreed plan of...

Think a bit of both!

There's an awful lot worse than that said on here. I was accused of being a plagiarist. Their words, not mine.

He must have a very luxurious lifestyle if he's already spent all the money he trousered off us before and needs some more. Maybe he needs some to give to Cardiff?

As long as it's not fucking Ranson.
