maximus1267 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Sat 150 miles away watching that has just brought tears to my eyes. Well done to all taking part, if we achieve our aim of new owners and better times, you all need to be very proud and applauded by all of us who want change. Hats off to you and a huge thanks from West Cumbria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basilrobbie Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I thought you came across really well there, with some very good "vox pop" contributions as well. Just the kind of thing that was required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticMark Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 As usual the club hierarchy refuse to appear in person and put out another written statement - probably written by a lawyer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a big point but referring to PTB and the trust as ‘fans groups’ and not by name says it all. It conveys a sense of illegitimacy and alludes to these bodies being nothing more than a few moaning people. They can’t bring themselves to properly acknowledge these groups, their legitimacy and what they stand for. They are so much more than ‘fans groups.’ They are the essence and spirit of the football club. Shame on you OAFC Ltd 2004 or whatever your name is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of what he calls investment went n paying poor players silly money, and also paying players who never even made the 1st. team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you telling me that you consider Queensy Menig's £11k a week (plus hotel expenses) for 5 months to be silly money?! How dare you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare you! Queensy was one of the few to progress higher, going on to play in the top flight in Holland and now at Partizan Belgrade. Another of AL's mistakes was to spend big on those sort of wages too early, which really defeated his slowly slowly policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare you! I thought that almost made sense as a one-off but I did wonder what on earth young Mr Menig made of what was happening to his career. At least he showed ability.
