    Playing from the back isnt the issue, playing from the back badly is the issue.

    sage reacted to Red Ram in Petition to strip Melvyn of his CBE   
    Bear in mind Mel still owns the stadium and in consequence, whether we like it or not, we're still dependent on his goodwill to complete the successful transition to new ownership. If he's looking for an excuse to say duck it, this is exactly the kind of thing that could give him it....

    I don’t think anyone has used that as an excuse. Covid was simply the thing that pushed us off the tightrope we’d been walking. Like many things, it was a contributory factor but, crucially it was one that could not have been reasonably allowed for. Regardless of day to day finance, it also vastly reduced the realistic possibility of a sale which had been the intention for some while.

    We use the money raised to support disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.
    BBC Children in Need is currently supporting over 3000 local charities and projects in communities across the UK that are helping children and young people facing a range of disadvantages such as living in poverty, being disabled or ill, or experiencing distress, neglect or trauma.
    In the last grant year alone, your support helped change the lives of over 600,000 disadvantaged children and young people, right here in the UK.

    I'm not really sure why DCFC never pursued QPR for compensation after the full scale of their FFPO breach was revealed. Both they and Leicester breached FFP rules that season. Leicester beat us home and away and QPR away and obviously at Wembley.
    Then there's the case of our dear friends Notts Forest : placed under embargo in December 2015 for breaching FFP financial loss limits in season 2014/15, Forest spent big in the summer of 2014, including circa £6M on Britt Assombalonga who scored the equaliser in their 2-1 victory at PP in January 2015. Derby, if you recall, missed out on promotion by 1 point (we had a superior goal difference to the 3 teams tied above us with 1 point more). 
    Let's not even think about Villa and their record-breaking wage bill.
    If Middlesbrough and Wycombe fans feel hard done-by, don't come to us looking for sympathy or understanding.

    sage reacted to TigerTedd in Yorkshire cricket racism   
    This annoys me so much. 
    Not the fact that sent these messages, although I certainly don’t condone it, but that fact that I’ve heard people today saying ‘well it’s double standards isn’t it.’
    Why does it matter? Why does it undermine the racial abuse he’s suffered? It doesn’t suddenly make that okay? Just cos everyone is racist, doesn’t suddenly make racism okay?
    The whole idea of historically racist tweets and messages pisses me off too. Surely their must be some sort of statute of limitations. What one person writes when they’re 19 is not at all the same as what they think when they’re 30. And not at all the same as decades long institutional racism at all levels. At that point surely a heartfelt apology and genuine contrition is all that’s needed to draw a line under it. 
    that anyone would go to the effort of digging this out, at this time, with clearly the sole purpose of undermining what he’s saying, is deplorable. And for what purpose? To derail any investigation into racism?
    Racism begets racism, just as bullies beget bullies. If you’re being picked on, if you’re in that environment where your basically being taught that it’s okay to pick on others who are weaker or in a minority, then you’re going to mimic that. If anything, these messages just prove what he was saying, that the cricketing environment he grew up in was endemically racist. 
    Im probably thinking about it too much though, it’s probably just a stupid message from a stupid kid trying to look cool in front of his stupid mates. Either way, certainly not something to crucify him over, and certainly not something that should detract from the key issue.
    I’m just glad that social media didn’t exist when I was a 19 year old, who knows what stupid poo I would’ve posted back then.

    That's the point. There is no need to say anything until a deal is done. Being noisy on social is all very well, but it doesn't mean you're any more credible than anyone who isn't making the same noise. I'm not doubting CK's credentials, I don't know what he's shown the administrators any more than anyone on this message board, but he hasn't won the race just because he likes Twitter, despite what some might think.
