This could be the good news Tarquin is on about. Pearson has secured major investment from a oil rich Arab nation.

Should have gone to Turkey. Better choice and the beer is cheaper.

Do you ever get fed up of being a tit?

I hope I haven't offended you.


juvenile insults sadly sums up to many on these forums, I could never be insulted by words from a keyboard warrior.

That's a politicians answer evading a reasonable question that people want to know.

Just answer the question yes or no. Does it bother you being a tit?

I wouldn't disagree with you but you still haven't answered the tit question.

The foundations of any sporting team, is ambition, motivation, desire and professionalism.
The whole organisation is lacking in all of these 4 key areas. This stems from the club's hierarchy, we have a group of individuals, who are not physically & mentally prepared to play in SL at an acceptable level.
This is due to the owner, appointing inexperienced backroom staff, and not replacing personnel who leave.
The Team Manager, who I believe is no longer coaching the team, his assistants are unable to improve the team's weaknesses, they should be sacked, and replaced immediately.
Until the owner changes his policy or departs. Nothing will improve...
Regardless of a change in Coach or player recruitment..

Agree with the above.

The entire club, from top to bottom, is rotting away with every passing week. There isn't a single individual, whatever area of the club they are working in, who is making a meaningful contribution to altering the malaise which is enveloping every single aspect of how the club operates, although I would excuse the young players as it's not their job to impose standards on an organization, that responsibility rests with other, far more experienced individuals.

We could sack Smith today (heaven knows who would then be tasked with the role) but I doubt it would make any significant difference, maybe a temporary bump of energy as often happens post coach sacking, but it won't be long before all these faults resurface.

Tony Smith is one of the problems we have, no doubt of that, he has lost his way so badly I don't think he even knows which way he is standing anymore, but sacking him will not magically solve our many issues, they are too deeply embedded for it to be that simple a solution.

Having said that, his time is up, surely. We are not seeing even the most basic of reactions to these repeated weekly hammerings, yesterday was the same mistakes and faults repeated again and again. Whatever his plan is, short-term or long, it simply isn't working. Someone has to stand up and take responsibility for this situation and as the senior people at the club that means Pearson or Smith.






I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.

Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.

I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

A man who lives in hell can still aspire to heaven.
