LesterRam Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I was just thinking how lucky we are, so we have had two local men plough vast amounts into this club and make a difference, both Mighty Mel and Lionheart Lionel, looking around this league we must feel blessed, leeds with the Italian nut job, the trees with the fickle axe wielding weirdo and then we have cardiff owner changing the colour of the team, the investment in our academy is truly unbelievable and a full house every week, I cant remember any team in this division having the backing we do and having it twice?

Howard Canitbé Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 We are exceedingly lucky, we were also lucky to have owners in GSE (much loathed as they were) a few years ago who managed to halt our seemingly inevitable slide after relegation from the PL to League One like so many clubs before and since have done. Don't think the solid foundations they put in place for Mel to take the club forward should be underestimated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewe Ram Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I don't think GSE were loathed were they? They were generally viewed as a trustworthy lot. It was the 3 amigo's that were loathed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first few years of Clough's tenure in particular I remember people regularly blaming the board for their lack of investment and calling for them to get out of our club.

Kernow Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 GSE were some of the most sensible and best owners we've had. A lot of clubs would be in much better positions right they if they had owners like GSE. Looking back at some of the players we had and the state we were in, how we never dropped down to League One is a miracle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's interesting that there's nobody coming forward and admitting they were wrong about "The Yanks". They had plenty of doubters, where are they all? The humble pie's getting cold here... I'll admit it, I was wrong about them. I couldn't see what they were doing and misjudged them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
