Christ, Leazes is right again

 

Leazzzzzzzzzes, you derail every thread, EVERY thread, into a pointless rant about how much you love Shepherd and how if people had listened to you we'd not be in this mess and all that bollocks.

 

facts are, Shepherd inherited a club that was set to establish a prolonged assault on the title and we've stuttered and faltered and fallen. Even before the debacle that is Ashley we were falling behind, or at least treading water as clubs passed us.

 

Were they better than Ashley has been? Yes.

Were they perfect? No.

Would they have, eventually, taken us down? Dunno, but I certainly wouldn't bet against it.

Would they be a better steward for this period of the club? Probably not. Their "Boom and Bust" approach would surely have us return to the CCC without much delay.

 

You are their fan, we get it. Fucking leave it alone. It's boring and mires all your footballing knowledge in a turgid mess of embittered gloating; a goblin, delighting in our situation for no-other reason than the opportunity to squawk "I told you so" like a pre-pubescent whelp.

 

I am willing to put every penny in my pocket that this prayer will fall upon deaf ears and he'll keep scratching that broken record.

Dear me. The Halls and Shepherd. Shepherd NEVER owned the club, and neither did the Halls. Nobody could do what they wanted without being sanctioned by the others. The Halls and Shepherd ran the club for 15 years. Together. Get it ?

[LeazesMag 0]

ofcourse we've got lower expectations ffs we were relegated less than a year ago and it was a relegation that had been looming for a while.

 

We were scratting around for points pre-Ashley.

 

It is no wonder they are trying to lower expectations when we still have fans trotting out the "we are better than that" routine.

 

You may have also forgotten that he tried to sell and couldn't. There's no queue at the door now we are back either.

Stop repeating their lies man. He called an offer of £400m an insult.

 

I also doubt he is going to sanction anunproven prem manager with a blank chequebook.

He'll NEVER prove himself without funds to do it either. Tying his hands behind his back is dooming him to failure.

 

We would all love a return to yesteryear, but that's not going to happen so much better to be realistic than deluded.

It's not deluded to recognise we're one of the most widely supported teams in the country. We have a huge catchment area that's virtually unopposed and as such there's no reason why we shouldn't compete with the best. I recognise the reasons we can't and won't, they're running the club, it's not deluded to recognise that and argue for more.

 

I will be delighted with 4 or 5 good additions and surviving next year.

4 or 5 additions of what quality? Kids? Championship? Top half rejects?

 

We will then be stronger, no Hughtons worth and be in a far better position to continue building.

Adding 5 players as bad as the ones we have will improve nothing.

 

I am sure this is what will happen and fully support it.

 

 

nice to see people now saying the things I have always said.

 

I thought you said Shepherd never did a thing wrong.

 

you won't find anywhere where I said that.....

 

And the above is no different to what I've ALWAYS said.

 

Seems we both make up total bollocks about what other posters said in hindsight

 

I don't remember you rushing to agree with me at the time, I'm sure pretty much everybody else just harped on about Shepherd being a fat cunt and had to go because everything was so embarrassing. The only person who agreed with me was howaythelads.

Anyway. We are back in the premiership. Enjoy the summer and wait until August before getting all gloooomy....

Do tell me who 'owned' the club between December 1991 and April 1997.

[acrossthepond 878]

As though Nolan didn't come here for the money himself. Where was he while we were going down? Hiding like the rest of them. Sure, he's banged in plenty in Div 2 but he (like that other worthless wanker Smith) seems to think he now has the right to speak about our club as though he knows it.

I fail to see why people like you harp on about this

 

the Halls, Shepherd (and Fletcher as an employee) ran the club.

If you said anything like the above I wouldn't have disagreed.

 

I only argue with you when you're off the mark. For example, you said what a good appointment Roeder was, while I was spot on about it being another downward step on the path of lowered expectation and dwindling returns...

I said that very phrase often. I said I was "hopeful" that Roeder would turn out well, just like Hughton now in fact. However, at least you agree with me that a manager with one hand tied behind his back is on a hiding to nothing.......at least the managers the Halls and Shepherd appointed were given the support and backing which is the whole point. Not many clubs actually do this, its a matter of choice.
