Please feel free to add to the catalogue of decision by our current owners under their 6.5 year tenure-ship. That you can't comprehend.

I didn't like Marcus Hall not getting to come on in that last game against Watford. We were terrible and losing anyway, so give us some kind of warm fuzzy feeling to take home, dickheads.

Admittedly this was Coleman's decision, but he was employed by them so it's a proxy gripe.

Not renegotiating the rent when saving us in the final hour. If this is such a massive issue to cause the situation we are in today. Would a 1.2 million a year rent not stood out as an important expenditure at the time?

We were desperate they could have struck whatever deal they wanted.

Not buying half of ACL at the point of saving the club, again they could have got massive favourable terms at that time.

Not negotiating a sensible rent when they took over is the biggie, it's led to where we are today.

Choosing football as a business venture was the stupidest of them all.

Arranging public forums, the main agenda of which were to convince the fans that ground sharing and building a new ground is the way forward.

Then attend those meetings and say you can't discuss the plans!!!!!

Putting Grandison up front against Portsmouth when we had another forward sat on the bench was another. The man was mad.

One huge huge mistake.

Orange Ken agreeing that a deal for SISU to sell the club was acceptable. Then changing his mind when he discovered he would no longer be Chairman under new ownership!

Not clearing the decks to any great extent at any point in their tenure.

Not sacking Chris Coleman after the Charlton game.

Appointing Andy Thorn on the basis of a run that saw us win 3 games out of 10 - setting an abysmal benchmark

Not sacking Andy Thorn after the 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace in August 2011

Not sacking Andy Thorn after the 2-1 defeat at Blackpool in January 2012

Not sacking Andy Thorn after relegation from the Championship

When I'm in charge of the club after my billion-dollar heist, Marcus Hall's coming on in injury time one game to say a proper goodbye. Sure he'll be 56 and have an artificial hip, but it's happening.

To back SP's current idea to alienate the players who are deemed surplus to requirements.

One, it smacks of unprofessionalism and disrespectful.

Two, it is counterproductive to the ultimate aim of moving these players on. Include them in training use them in the development matches so they can show scouts what they can do.

I agree you either sack him after relegation.

Or if you decide not to and make a big public statement about backing him, then let him sign 9 players! Then you have to see that through 3 games was a joke. To sack him then led to a catalogue of derailments to what could have been a very successful season

Amazing moment, that aids in me in concluding that he would have been that egotistical to campaign against the bid for the club once he discovered he would be out.

It seems hard to believe it actually happened, it was that ridiculous. Unless he's actually mental, I like to assume he wanted out and this was the quickest way to be let go.

Controversial one, but I think they should have accepted the 400k rent and 80% f&b. but at the same time negotiated a gradual plan leading to staged ownership of the Ricoh.

To shake hands on a deal then renege was like lighting dynamite at that time.

He must have realised that it wouldn't have gone down well with anyone, even with such an ego and delusion. You can't be rich without having some smarts surely? Unless he made his money as a test subject into how skin turns that colour.

Sacking him was the right thing to do when it happened.
