He's done nothing to suggest he can't help the club grow.
The two clubs he's been actively involved in recently, and in challenging times (the final years of the nsl and the start up years of the current hooha) were successful while his involvement existed. He's no doubt learned from those experiences and can probably bring some worthwhile actions to the club.

I'm happy to hear contrary arguments but all I've heard is "he's a gypo" and the "two clubs he was once involved with are now shit"... Despite the reasons for those two clubs demise being far more complicated than his involvement (rangers deal falling through) and with the mariners recent fall being well after his involvement ceased.

Using that logic Brian Clough must have been rubbish given notts.forest's current status.


Granted he might not be the best bloke going but I've never said he's the answer to all our problems, I'd love to see murphy back, I'd love to see george Liolio back, or a new owner throw massive coin at Tsatamis, or chase a bloke named Tim Thorne currently at cronulla sharks and entice him back to football, mr lee could use his electrical lighting industry connections and get someone from the victory board to head north.

If you guys got out of your own way for a second and stopped arguing for the sake of arguing you'd realise all I've ever done is put forward the idea that death riding the bloke won't help anyone achieve anything, not that he's the second coming.

If his position is already decided, then supporting the bloke is the only option if we want to help create an environment where good things can happen for the club. That's the 1% we can control. Positive talk around town helps create something that more people want to get involved in, be it fans, or sponsors, or ultimately better players. I've been told by so many I talk to at games, on matchday, at the recent active support forum and elsewhere online that the perpetual negative crap keeps people away from the forums, away from feeling part of something bigger than all us and in my opinion ultimately contributes to the club being held back from achieving it's potential.


As soon as he comes out and suggests a merger with CCM, I'll bring the paraffin and the pitchfork sharpener.
This is the first time during this argument that you've actually put forward some ideas, and low and behold you make some good points. Well done.

Firstly, it hasn't been announced by anyone that he is working for the Jets. So until such time as that happens no one can use the 'we need to support our guy' argument just yet, i'm sorry but whispers from friends of friends don't count as truths just yet. Especially in the football world which is more fickle than most.

So, if we take that out of consideration essentially some of us think he doesn't have the experience necessary to succeed in a position this size. Not because he lives in a caravan but because his CV isn't strong enough to prove itself.

Some of you also think that he has done enough in the past to earn the right to have the gig, fair enough we don't have to agree.

However.. you don't get to hold the high ground because you see this as a glass half full scenario. Get off your high horse and put forward some facts that back up your opinions and then read ours and move on.

Plague is a serial pest, he's also a cereal pest, as we all know so just don't take his bait and you'll get some good conversation from him. The Member knows hows to argue better than most. But just because we get a bit passionate don't let that stop you from put in your 2 cents. Just back it up with fact and then no one can say anything against you.
