sweetleftpeg 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) As alex points out, the club is run badly from a long term objective imo. It's all about an ego trip and the dividends for Shepherd and Hall. We've shown little to no ambition since Sir John Hall left imo. I truly believe there is no long term plan, and the obsession with winning a trophy asap isn't helping.

Guest alex Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Regarding what Leazes said about Shepherd doing his job "If he appoints who fans are happy with" He's more arsed about his short-term popularity with the fans than he is with putting into place any sort of long-term plan for the good of the football club. A good example is the timing of the dismissal of Robson. I see this as a definite weakness rather than a strength. 87002[/snapback] Agreed, but I wish he'd do the popular thing right now! 87006[/snapback] I would imagine he would if the money was available, there was someone suitable to take over, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 53516 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Meanwhile....somewhere in a small Lancashire mill-town.... ....the player he sold to Blackburn who he called a "cancer" and was slagged off on here and other places for being the "liar", rather than Souness, is quietly getting on with his career with dignity.

Shearergol 0 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Nicky Butt is a prime example - people were chuffed to bits when we signed him! 86993[/snapback] Apart from me.

Having said that, I was happy with Faye. 50% aint that bad I suppose. 87151[/snapback] No, you were probably 100% right about Butt, but 200% wrong about Faye, so mathematically you should never comment about a player's ability again (and I didn't even include Luque).
