Shaw_nuff Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Q. Has anyone had the balls to tell Krulak that the U.S. lost in Vietnam? Q. Will General relativity and quantum mechanics ever be unified? Q. What's happening to this club? The first two are easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan-scott Posted January 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21, 2016 Sounds like a false narrative. They were honest from what I can gather. They've planned for going down, which you'd expect, but some take that as giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no direct knowledge but I'd imagine it would be very unlikely that an event like this would be recorded. This is a members-only event from what I can see.

I think what these fools fail to realise is that if they sort the "business" out on the pitch, where it really matters, then restructuring the boardroom and the commercial side of the club will become much easier. I think the bottom line here is Hollis will strip back everything, use a little polyfiller and whack up some cheap tatty wallpaper to make it presentable from the outside. I think it is safe to say that unless we can find a decent striker to play for a couple of cans of carling and a packet of nuts we won't be signing anyone of note. Unless of course we are to get excited at potentially signing a once upon a time great defender with absolutely no potential, or legs left. Would not surprise me to see Remi walk at the end of the season after realising himself(unless he already has) that he is employed by idiots that couldn't even run a bath and have no real intention of helping him sort the footballing side of things out. What next?! Will it be the renaming of the Holte to the Poundstretcher stand! Sorry, Rant over! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I actually don't have a problem with future planning and planning for the championship. It's actually the right thing to do. My problem is I have seen us "plan" things before and it has ended up going very very wrong. I am pretty sure we will go down and not come back straight up, the noise about spending "not being the answer" and a "long term plan" to me suggests that we won't be doing a West Ham for example. I actually have no problem with what they have come out with (besides calling out the academy as "assets" to sell) I am more worried going forward what they will do rather than what they have said. I have very little faith we will get things right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm now wondering what the point is in having let ANY players go this month, if we were doubtful of signing any? That said, in reality I think we pretty much all knew what was going on. Probably just stings more coming from the horses mouth, so no need to leave the optimism just yet, until Saturday? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
