Babylon Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 Ok take what you are saying and agree to a point. But sports science is something new and is not the whole running of the club. And that aspect can only be judged over a few years. The 60's 70's and 80's players went out on the piss (yes this season we understand what that can do ) But back then everyone did so it did not matter to a point. You can't claim the club is better run than ever before using new innovations. It takes a lot more than sports science to run a club. The running of the club can only be judged by what is relevant at the time. In 20yrs we could claim NP ran a piss poor club because of new innovations. The running of the club is much more than the team but yes the team is what matters. You would not judge a past F1 driver shite cos he drove an old car and his lap times were slower. The game has evolved to say it is the best it has ever been run and judge old against new is wrong. My view was from a level playing field. Would i be wrong saying Kieth weller was one of our best ever and we don't have one to touch him. But a 28yr old Weller with his training diet and the way the game was would struggle to do 45mins. Again, like I said before I am going to leave it because you are like a dog with a bone and take one line and run off with it in one direction. You are very free to have the opinion that the club isn't run very well, or no better than before if you wish. I on the other hand, believe Persons set up on the football side is exceptional. Whether that translates into further continued success on the field I don't know. But in my time of supporting the club, I've never felt that it was in safer hands with regards the clubs long term future. As for your analogy, no I wouldn't class the old drivers as shite, they were of their time... but I would class the cars to be better than they used to be.
Guest Col city fan Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 Col, I am sure Bert is not saying that people can express an opinion about anything, positive or negative. The issue as I see it is the absolute position mostly in the negative that is taken. The sort of comments like he is crap that is way to much it should be no more than this etc. It is one thing to discuss and then express an opinion, but the lack of subjectivity in particular from those on the negative side of the discussion, any discussion is what I thin Bert, Babs and people like myself take exception to. You don't see either potentially insulting or derogatory comments on any subject by those supporting a decesion made by the club or even in support of a player the club may be looking at. You don't see over the top comments like we must have at all costs!! or If we don't get him I will quit supporting the club and the you get the jist. It does seem that there is an age difference between those on the negative side of discussions/arguments and those on the positive. I could be wrong but I would guess those like AgentFox as an example is south of 20, who I am sure is a great fan of the club but has little to know real knowledge of the game, the business of a club and general experience. As I said I could be wrong. Good post

Babylon Posted 13 June 2014 Posted 13 June 2014 He is not good enough and will be a total waste of money. I would prefer to stick with Nugent, Wood and Vardy than have him.

Ian Ormondroyd's Nose Posted 13 June 2014 Posted 13 June 2014 For £800,000, if he can bag us say 6 or 7 premier league goals, it's money well spent.

Brooksy Posted 13 June 2014 Posted 13 June 2014 We activated his clause last Friday so what's new about that article?
Finn Claw II Posted 13 June 2014 Posted 13 June 2014 East Grinstead Courier? Agreed. I bloody love a random local newspaper. Shades of the Loughborugh Echo - a real page turner. I also like the first line caveat of "if reports this morning are to be believed...." With that you are passing the buck somewhat on authenticating your story! Great addition to the forward line
Bert Posted 13 June 2014 Posted 13 June 2014 That article tells us nothing more than we already know.
Guest Posted 13 June 2014 Posted 13 June 2014 That article tells us nothing more than we already know. But some of us know a little more

Great addition to the forward line I can't find these "reports this morning though", nothing on twitter from what I can see. But some of us know a little more Don't we all.
