Why did it annoy you? What did that statement do to you personally? I was playing devils advocate, you know, a bit of objectivity. Don't take things so personally, it's a forum for debate, not to get sensitive over things that aren't directed at you.

You 'presumed' he might be doing a good job behind the scenes which we don’t know about.

Can’t you grasp that if he did ANYTHING remotely to bring in money etc... we would have known about it?

The fact lies since him and the other clowns became directors this club has turned into a shambles off and on the pitch. If you can’t see that then you my friend are very deluded in the fact that you still try and find good about people who since have been on our board has killed this club and as you say, that’s my personal opinion.

And you are presuming you know everything. I did not presume that by the way. I have said I was being objective because I DO NOT KNOW what he's done. There's a distinct difference. My posts are not stated as fact because I have no idea what's going on behind the scenes. How can YOU not grasp THAT?

Where did i say i know everything? I go by whats happened to this club. Last year at this time before Brody and Tango Man turned up we were top 6 team. Now were bottom 2 with little hope.

If anything good was done by this board we would know about it. Simple as that. They would remind us over and over again.

Hmm, the reason we plummeted wasn't anything to with an inept manager? I'm not trying to change your opinion on the board, in fact mine is very similar, but I'm not into being so closed minded that I think I know what's going on behind the scenes. Yes, they haven't put any money in, but surely that's because we're in a right mess that they can't sort out that was also there before this board were there?

I’ll still stand by the reason we went downhill was because King upset the dressing room. Granted he was a top scorer in the end but before he really came good we were top 6 and we held our own that day at home to Norwich despite been down to 10 men and were unlucky to lose that day. And they went on to win the league at a canter. Suspensions and injuries over the Christmas period didn’t help. I know many don’t agree with that but that’s my personally view on last season.

As for the lack of investment. Yes we may not have much money but the wages we’ve saved from King, Westwood, Gunnarson etc.. Has not been reinvested.

1 outfield signing and 2 goalkeepers since this board has taken control says it all. There are clubs who much worse off financially then us yet they spend to invest.

I'm slightly confused now? The reason we plummeted was because of King and the unrest it caused? I agree mostly with that, although I think there were other factors. But Boothroyd brought him in and caused that. Yeah?

Investment-wise we've been screwed over. Sure. I'm not arguing that at all. But it's not just one persons fault. It's the fault of a lot of people over a lot of years. This club has been mis-managed for years. It's no reason to take anything the club has done personally though, or be personal towards any of them. I don't like what's happened/happening to our club, I love the club.

Yes he did but i wouldn't say Boothroyd was a bad manager.. Bringing King in ended up been his downfall but my point about the board and how we’ve gone downwards is no coincidence. They've been behind lack of investment which in turn has made us become relegation fodder.

The thing is, this is what I don't know. If we'd carried on spending money would it have been unsustainable and therefore lead to administration anyway or maybe worse?

My views on Boothroyd - the WORST football I've ever seen, bar none!

I don't think King was the reason for the bad form last season, if it wasn't for King's goals we probably wouldn't be in this league this year.

But we will probably end up in adminstration come May unless we get major investors.

The football wasn't the best granted but it produced results until Christmas.

We might do, you don't know that though for definite - and that's the debate isn't it!
