82nd minute applause for Tony Fernandes 20:19 - Jul 28 with 5132 views | runningman75 | Seems that TF has been slagged off by some people on twitter. There is a campaign on facebook for those going on Saturday for the 82nd minute to be reserved for him and for clapping and singing of his name to be carried out so the true supporters can show their appreciation for him. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Seems to me to be a good guy doing a pretty ordinary job. Then again if he does get more of a handle and learn from mistakes then could still well be best thing to happen to us for a long time. | ![](/images/avatars/4281.gif) |

82nd minute applause for Tony Fernandes on 20:41 - Jul 28 with 4027 views | bosh67 | To be fair to TF he hasn't shirked blame. He will get tougher and I think he has the metal to stay with this and get it right. He does have a history of sticking with things until they work, so not too concerned. He will still make an excellent chairman if he gets things right and has really learned from the mistakes. | ![](/images/avatars/1510.gif) |

82nd minute applause for Tony Fernandes on 21:37 - Jul 28 with 3807 views | michael67 | I hope it happens now. It is now on facebook, twitter (I think), and on MBs. I'm sure that TF and his men will have picked up on it. If it don't happen, I think TF would be a little bit disappointed. | ![](/images/avatars/1277.gif) |

82nd minute applause for Tony Fernandes on 21:42 - Jul 28 with 3784 views | qprewan | I am definitely up for this- imo Tony Fernandes is definitely the best owner we have ever had and yes we are lucky to have him. He has made mistakes which he has admitted to but his motivations and intentions have always been good.He has also put considerably more of his own money into our club than any other previous owners. Amhit Bhatia also deserves recognition too. Talking of previous owners it was only a couple of years back that we had the stingy billionaires running the club apppointing so many managers we became a laughing stock. Remember Paul Hart and Mick Harford. Going further back we had Richard Thompson who had no interest in the club and ' Judas Gregory' revered by some but imo someone who sold every decent player we ever had and ended up selling the club to someone who wanted to turn us into Fulham Park Rangers! TF loves this club, is funding a new traing ground, wants to build us a new ground, communicates with the supporters and is here for the long haul- can you really ask for any more than that? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

82nd minute applause for Tony Fernandes on 21:57 - Jul 28 with 3708 views | WokingR | To my mind this always strikes me as a bit lame and the sort of idea thought up by someone who doesn't go to many games. It's all well and good if the ball is out of play but in all likelihood we will look up after an attack to see 83 or 84 minutes on the scoreboard and realise we have missed it. Does Tony really need a round of applause midngame to know how appreciated he is by the majority of us? | ![](/images/avatars/2367.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Cannot agree with that at all- do you remember Sir Les wanting assurances that the club wanted him and Thompson not being available then he was flogged to Newcastle. Also I think it was around February and we were in the top five, the league was wide open that year Norwich were up there too and we lost Gary Penrice and Wilkins for the rest of the season. We were theoretically in with a real chance and all Thompson was prepared to fund was a striker who could not get in the Cambridge utd team, sorry his name escapes me. I still look back now and wonder where we would have finished that season if we had had an owner with any real ambition for the club. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I disagree, he doesn't deserve the abuse twitter tw*ts give him, but he does deserve criticism, the guy has made plenty of mistakes (which he himself admits) and he's overseen a disastrous 2 years for our club, some/many (depending on whichever way you look at it) of the reasons they've been a disaster is down to him, even if he's made those decisions in good intentions it can't and shouldn't be swept under the rug. | ![](/images/avatars/4185.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Totally disagree, thompson was by far the worse chairman we ever had! He was universally dispised by large elements of our crowd! The man was just a stuck up little asset stripper and a bloody arsenal fan to boot! God the mere mention of that kunts name makes my blood boil | ![](/images/avatars/7025.gif) |

The way things are going its more likely to be the other way round. I don't agree with personal attacks, but I only applaud people who deserve it and a lot has got to happen during this week for that to be the case. Lets face it TF has made some well intentioned, but really bad decisions and needs to put them right. Somehow I don't see that happening very quickly and our team are suffering as a result. | ![](/images/avatars/1689.gif) |
