DearOdear Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I'm sorry if I have offended anyone, it was meant as a bit of light hearted banter, this sort of thing is obviously taken a bit too seriously for me, so I don't think I ll bother in the future. . Don't take it to heart mate, you'll soon discover who's who on here and who's a bit touchy. Stick around, it'll grow on ya Cheers Rob. I'll try not to be so flippant in future.. !

blandy Posted January 14, 2005 Moderator Share Posted January 14, 2005 What's the problem with him going on Holiday - he's permanently "out to lunch" anyway? The less time he is at VP the better. If he's decided we are not going to spend on players, then in matters not that he is away. If he has authorised a signing then again , better he is well out of the way Bruce is a more capable and alert person to have running the club full stop. Mind you it makes a good question for the AGM, and Ellis's wages. 5 grand a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_B Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 The question should be Is Doug in Australia on holiday, or on business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mockingbird_franklin Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 The question should be Is Doug in Australia on holiday, or on business? He's decided it's time to bring some respectability to britsih Tennis, He knows it'll be tough but he's sure he can make up for Tim Henmans inabilities and carry them both to bring home the doubles title at the Australian open to good old blighty.

mattley Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 If Ellis is in Oz in January then that is the biggest, most blatent show of utter disregard for the future of the club. He should be here working with DOL to strengther our team and pissing around shagging Kangaroos and licking Koala's Bloody Pom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarjei Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I've heard that he's there to act in a new movie called Leg Affair XI - starring: Robbie Chavange, BigBoy Boateng and Deadly Doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathieuberson Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 If we don't have any money, there isn't really much anyone can do but hope we can survive the season to be honest. If this continues for the next few years, we will go down. I think the assumption is now that we won't be paying money for anyone, so he may as well go on holiday. What a wonderful business Doug has run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwheels Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 If he is on holiday, then he's either utterly clueless or utterly contemptuous. He should realise that such an act would get the message boards buzzing. I don't think it matters much either way except that it simply looks very bad. As such, my answer to the question is no.

John Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 I have gone "no" but possibly those who voted "yes" want him to take a permanent holiday? :wink: I hear he's borrowed Robert Maxwell's boat and plans to swim with the fishes on his way down under before playing in the Australian Open. Apparently he is confident of turning over Tiger Tim as well, he's like a son to him you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
