"We want to build a squad like Chris Powell did"

Reportedly said by our CEO at the last fans forum meeting although I don't think it made the minutes.

    Gudmundsson ... Cousins ... Buyens ... Bulot

    She was misinterpreted that night. She apparently said

    "We want to build a pitch like Colin Powell did"

    Surely Wiggins ahead of Fox

    I did put him ahead of Fox yet I changed my mind as I've always felt that Rhoys was sold because of his constant injury problems rather than financial gain... Had he been sold for no reason then I'd have him in ahead of Fox.

    Its also why I reckon Henderson is on his way out.

    Fair point. The best 11 on paper would be Wiggins of course. Agreed.

    If true, I can only hope someone took them properly to task for it. The same squad they totally destroyed within months of arriving.....

    Yes and, if they'd backed CP, he would have done it again.

    We want you to think we'll build a good squad long enough to consider buying a season ticket....

    Henry, you forgot the bit that said 'but we haven't got a clue how to do it'.

    So we'll buy Lennie Lawrence a few beers and when he turns us down act on what he said off the cuff at 11pm as we now realise it's so much better than we could do after 2 years and as many hours as we are prepared to put in.

    Would have Diarra ahead of either of the middle two but not bad

    You can't have Solly in the starting line up though as he's out on loan at Gillingham.

    You mean the squad they dismantled and sacked the manager that put it together. They're mad.

    To be fair to them, they had to dismantle it or they would never have got to this position where they can to build it again.

    Stephens has become much better since he left, literally and in terms of how highly he is rated

    He was only 21 or 22 when he joined us, but you could see there was a cracking player in there. I always rated him.

    Are they going to invade Iraq ?

    Sorry, I thought it was Colin Powell...

    Really doesn't matter what she said or where and when. She has long since lost the ability to distinguish between truth and lies, so it's all meaningless. She is the most visible symbol of the shambles we have become. Her departure is a non negotiable in my book.

    The minutes were with her for 3 days? before they were published. Time enough to edit out any comments which could come back to haunt her. If true, proves again she is totally untrustworthy and unsuitabe for the job. No wonder she stopped the videoing of the meetings. Katrein, it's been emotional but please go now before you have to cover up more embarrassments.

    You, Watt, you Watt, you Watt! You Watt!! You Watt!!!

    No Watt! No Watt!! No Watt!!!, no Watt..no Watt.....

    This is my attempt at summarising Tony Watt's career at multiple clubs using aggressive punctuation that could lead one to be barred.

    Interesting to hear a couple of players say on POY award that reports of fall outs with Tony Watt Watt Watt, are perhaps a little overplayed. Everyone falls out, lasts 20 seconds all done.

    (I'm making a lot of that up by the way, not the comments or intention but no one said exactly those words)

    I can't believe she had the front to utter such words having systematically undermined the man and dismantled his team. Just shows what a two faced liar she is... but we know that as we all saw the banner!

    Dale Stephens? That one? The same one that was pilloried on here every week? The one who had an awful game in the mud against, who was it, Forest?
