Reply | Democracy at the seaside? by Basilrobbiereborn

I used to work with a woman who was regularly beaten up by her husband. He was always full of remorse after each "episode" and always promised he would change. She always believed him and gave him another chance. No matter how often we, her friends, advised her to leave, she WANTED to believe him. Did he ever deliver on his promises? Occasionally, just enough to convince her to stay a bit longer. Did he ever change? Absolutely not. Three years and one miscarriage later, the penny dropped and she went to the police. She has never looked back since. She admits that deep down she knew it was hopeless but couldn't bring herself to face the truth. She could have saved herself a lot of heartache and suffering by doing what she eventually did much, much sooner.

Reply | Clark has showed Riga up ...
at 22:00 22 Nov 2014
Totally disagree. For a start, Clark is not under quite the same restraints as Riga as the sudden influx of players and backroom staff shows. It was pretty obvious, from the moment Clark was appointed, that KO would "back the manager", for a little while at least, just to show that "the mob" are wrong to criticise him and our league position is all that difficult Mr Riga's fault.
The fact that JR was appointed with the promise of support for his style of football i.e. the Riga Revolution, but then the promised resources were not forthcoming and JR had to go with whatever he could get to start the season means we will never know how good or bad a manager he would have been. Comparing what he was able to do, against a backdrop of behind the scenes troubles, toxic home game atmosphere and a boss who undermined him at every turn, with Lee Clark who has already had more support from the Chairman than Riga did in months, is pointless and unfair.
The main issue is the way our club is being run. Don't allow yourselves to be deflected from what really matters. The foundations of our club are rotten and no amount of surface decoration will stop it from falling down. |
