If the gamble had paid off I'd be a legend

 

You're not Norman Smurthwaite and you've blown your wind up. I was hoping you'd last a bit longer, you were doing well

If the gamble had paid off at the start of the season then you would all be hailing him our Hero.

 

A lot of you were very optimistic when Bruno arrived and these exotic group of players were put together.

 

It hasn't worked out but we try again.

Point is, only a complete cretin would put money behind such a ridiculous, uneducated idea. Fans can dream, the powers that be should demonstrate more common sense than a jar of peanut butter

We are all experts at how to run a football club on here. It's easy to say how he could have done things differently but until it's your own money you are spending how can you truly say you would have done done any better?

 

Not me Mon'Ami

First few games of the season you were all singing a different tune

Ecky thump Bon'Ami, you leapt on that double quick smart

Will you be at the protests on Saturday?

That's exactly why he should have left all the pr and marketing to someone who knew what they were doing.

He lasted less than 24 hrs before right royally blowing his cover.

Thats football.... but it wouldnt have changed his poor business skills

[AlienTitWrench]

Hmm, a brand new member to this forum and he happens to know Jacko is named Jean?

 

I thought exactly the same.

 

Very personal knowing a posters real name and feeling comfortable enought to use it. I think Martino must have had correspondence with Jacko under one of his/her other alias's

Jean has had no correspondence from me directly.

it wasnt a calculated risk. by its very nature it was uncalculated. Smurf didnt do his homework. this had all the makings of a disaster from day 1.

 

it also isnt a gamble if you get your stake back when you lose.

It's like me rocking up to perform brain surgery and cutting a bit more out to fix the problem, it only makes matter terms worse

 

Yukon, I have been desperately trying to think of the perfect analogy to describe the shear lunacy of our Chairman. This has hit the spot perfectly!! Such a brilliantly simple way of putting it!

 

As the family of the patient beg you to stop cutting, only a dangerous ego would say "no, no... brain surgery is easier than running Stoke Audi, and I have never failed at anything before so I will just plough on regardless of the damage caused... screw the people that love the patient"
