I have always like Durham on TS, he gets all passionate about random things and hates Arsenal which is just funny. Also his favourite FA cup moment was Houchens header!!
He is spot on here, but most importantly it did span way before SISU got their grubby little mitts on our club, Mr R bled the club dry and was the major catalyst for the clubs exit out of the top flight (yes strach didnt have a clue either). The FL need to be satisfied on every clubs business plan particularly if they dont own the ground or are going to have limited income. West Ham will have the same problem in a few years methinks too if that situation isnt managed correctly.
I have to say, I actually think the bloke is an absolute plank the majority of the time. The only reason I manage to catch that show is to listen to Goughie!
That said, I have to congratulate Durham on this piece...credit where it's due. Not only has he grasped the situation pretty accurately but he's also wrote an entire piece without looking at sideing with either SISU or ACL and instead makes his main references to the FL (who in my opinion are an absolute bloody disgrace) and previous regimes. Strachan is partly to blame but someone in essence gave him money to spend that they didn't have.
The rest, unfortunately is history and is why we are where we are.
Like I said, good piece from Durham (although I normally disagree with everything he has to say on TS). Well written article.
