But he clearly didn’t have the resources or knowledge to carry us forward (and yes, he made a complete mess of everything). But whether you liked it or not he did spend a lot of time on social media interacting with fans, trying to build a rapport that was missing for years under Lerner. I’m not sure that being at the playoff final demonstrates anything other than trying to jump on the bandwagon and then take some credit. As was demonstrated by his later tweet. I think we were all fed up of the total disconnect with Lerner and so communication of any sort was of course welcome. Nevertheless I don’t think his intentions were ever anything more than making a fast buck, but I could be wrong. Perhaps I’m seeing him through harsh eyes, but whether he was a naive fool or a chancer, either way he was hopelessly out of his depth and his actions nearly bankrupted us. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Weird that I don't mind this thread being taken off topic) Burger King is Hungry Jacks over here but after googling it, apparently microwaving burgers is the norm. I rarely eat that stuff anyway, prefering my local 'chippy'. Usually a trip to HJs is because I'm somewhat inebriated. I guess you have to accept that fast food is made fast..... Ive heard some creepy stories about KFC, which I never never consume! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciggiesnbeer Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Flame grilled. They have a fast food chain over here in the USA called Pollo Loco. It really is flame grilled and very good. Hmm. brb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is totally insignificant now, he has no say or control and a ever decreasing shareholding, he is a director but effectively a passenger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like how over the past year the NSWE share of the business has now increased significantly. He will be bought out soon and that chapter of the club will be done. Thankfully.
