My question was actually just about what kind of car Bobby Thomas drives.

Can you imagine if SISU got their filthy hands on the victor and hamer money, you've got to remember where we;ve come from, it was shit a few years ago, you've gotta be thankful we have DK, if you're not, then give your head a wobble, the future is bright.

He's been solid. That's what I want from an owner.

No ridiculous overspending but lots of little positives and improvements.

People won't agree with everything he does. That's the same for every owner at every football club.

He's supported two managers with players and staff. He's done the most we can expect with Ryton. Match day experience is decent. Club is more professional.

Hard to dislike or distrust someone who delivers that in two years. Feel people are keen to shine a spotlight on micro stuff when the macro picture is what it is.

I think he made the right decision either way... You can't have the slow starts. MR got there but it took too long. Is Lampard the answer maybe not but we couldn't keep doing the same thing over and over.

It's not how you start, it's how you finish. I would have been perfectly fine with years of FA cup semi finals and PO finals, over and over again


Lampard is our man now anyway, we all want it to be the right choice.

How you start makes how you finish a lot more difficult...

We've come a long way...from our merch being sold from a trestle table under sisu, to now signing one of the best midfielders in the championship.
Have some people forgot how excruciating badly we were run and how painfully low we all felt under the stewardship of our previous owners ?

I don't think they're finished at Ryton yet, the new gym is in a temporary structure, I believe the intention is to errect a more permanant building in the summer. I don't think you can ever rest on your laurels in football, continuous improvement is where it's at.

The ITK claims that the money has dried up seem to be completely incorrect.

Because there's no way that kind of stuff gets out. Some of our resident ITKs are better than others, I think that's proven over time. I don't think any of them know things at that kind of level though, no one King would give that kind of info to would be blabbing to the likes of GIMOC let's be honest.

Hasn't King explained that he'll spend on infrastructure but the team will be financed by ticket sales and incoming transfer fees?

The only people that don’t support King are those with either an agenda or those too stupid to spot that they have.

I have supported the club for over 50 years and we have had some proper clowns over much of that period. King isn’t perfect but he’s been much better than most of his predecessors.

It's barking mate.
For a start, who talks about supporting an owner?

Very strange.

I’m ok with your opinion. I know you don’t have an agenda, you fit in the other bucket.

And I don't agree with you because you're a weird cuck who pops up every time someone mentions King and starts talking about agendas, genuinely strange behaviour.

And? You still pop up everything someone says anything about King.
Some of it isn't even that critical of him but you can't have anyone displaying anything but total devotion to him

Any way, I'll leave it there. You're a weird cuck with a Doug King obsession as far as Im concerned (couple of others on here as well!).

Seems a bloke that knows nothing about football knows more than the thousands of us supporters. Recruiting Lampard was a masterclass.

If King keeps everyone apart from those like Burroughs and Howley with loan potential in this window, he will go up in my estimation.

To be fair, if the right offer comes in and a players head gets turned there's very little King or the club can do.

Saved the season and possibly the ccfc careers of a couple of players we invested very good money in.

It is then Kings job to get the maximum money for them.

It is odd how people have made it fact that he's clueless about football

Unless he's admitted it himself ins. Interview or something and I missed it!
