So back to type then - his opinion has no value because it does not accord with yours? You could not wait to get on here to show you were right, could you? [size=59Even if after last night your argument has gathered considerably more weight... [/size



IMO some of Ryan's comments were unfair and ill-considered - as I'm sure in the cold light of day he will have realised. I'm sure he'll be considering clarifying his comments to make it more clear who and what he was getting at, as I'm sure he intended no slight to folks like Bennett.



But they were clearly made out of frustration and passion, and he has as much right to make his point as you have.



After last night, I doubt many on here - myself included - will feel entirely rational in what they say for some time - cos every true fan will feel absolutely gutted. So I suggest allowances are made all-round? I don't think it will reflect well on those who are shouting "I told you so" at every opportunity, any more than it will reflect well on anyone who seeks to blindly defend the indefensible.

Hanley fell out with Saints due to them cutting corners due to financial problems. As things like that appear to be the case here too I doubt he'd come.

Why. Surely the only way the number of supporters would effect things is if we weren't spending our salary cap. Another argument could be that if the board and manager had supported the existing players instead of putting all their eggs in one basket to put one over on GH we'd be in a stronger position.

Only entertainment we get these days

I don't think you'll get much argument there. That said, the story is that Nobby wanted Iestyn for rugby reasons, rather than Caisley pursuing a vendetta.



As for the money issue... well, we all know the club needs more of it. And it's easier and cheaper to keep a team together, especially with a steady flow of youth players than it is to effectively have to start from scratch.

Eh?????



You all want to spend a shedload more on coaching staff, right?



Can you not see where the money comes from to help pay these - and everyone else not on the playing staff? The scouts, the people who go round the schools, the people who work on potential sponsors, the people who review legal contracts so we don't end up with another fiasco, the people who write the media releases that folk are complaining about, the pre-match entertainment that some folk have complained about...and so on.



You can't have full salary cap spend AND all the above if income is insufficient.



Unless I'm missing something significant here,
