    And are jumping to their defence. Well if profit generation is what floats your boat may I suggest you bugger off down to Tesco's and cheer the staff on instead of going to watch Barnsley because they're bloody good at making a profit. Me I'd rather watch a football team that wins occasionally and live in the hope however faint that every now and again well see something special from our little club.

    Go on then. Name them - name these posters that you call apologists. Don't stop there - we need to know.

    You seem to be repeating a post that was made earlier, on about Tesco staff (Jimmy Viz liked it - troll troll - so you'll be due another like).

    Anyway, I'm with you on wanting to watch a team that wins every now and then. We don't even play my tippy- tappy -look -like Barcelone- even- if -we get- nowhere football any more.

    Dike is our big miss. The stars aligned when he and Val were with us, at least for a while.

    We're just crap up front.

    No point falling out with each over it. Surely everyone on here wants the best for BFC?

    Do you know how to use the quote function from another thread and drop it in here? Because I'd love to see these board defenders you're referring to, and it's only fair you show examples of something like this if you're going to throw that around.

    I don't want to fall out with anyone. All I've done is post my opinion on the people running our club and the way they are choosing to run it.

    When you say ‘ see something special’ I’m assuming you aren’t talking about getting to the play offs

    There's eight posts in this thread including my reply here. We represent over 50% of them. I'm not sure they're as easy to spot as you're making out?

    Personally I would rather the club had stayed with the Cryne family, I know we would never achieve anything but at least we'd have some stability.

    No need. Even if people are still backing the board - and I'm not convinced that they are - they're entitled to that point of view. Debate the issues with them in the relevant threads. Don't start a Let's Bash Fans With A Different Opinion To Me thread.

    The cryne family?

    Who sold anything that moved. That derailed a potential play off chasing season by flogging everyone.

    At least this board did not flog anyone in January, and risked it such as mowat leaving for free. They haven't really sold anyone apart from managers.

    I don't like this set up, but let's be reight, PC (no offence) did not like risk when potentially not making a sale.

    And admitted he didn't know the worth of stones.when anyone else not in charge of the purse strings did. We got lucky with the sell ons, but the up front fee was disgraceful. As was the paltry sell on clauses (300 k Davies, 500k vaz te) which they are on record of denying existed.

    I'm no way defending this shower, but to want James in without these will only return to flogging anything again.

    I've no answer, but we are totally ****** which ever way you look at it.

    Thanks dad, you saw it coming and I didn't waste money on a season ticket (X3)

    Rather spend my time and money with my lads doing other stuff. And I hate the fact after 25 years of being loyal ST holder, I'm no longer. But as it stands, I've zero wish to return and certainly not buy any more.

    Sad. Really is.

    At least Wigan fans will be pissing themselves laughing
