Unfortunately now RM is not facing an imminent sacking after a good run of results he seems to have defaulted back to possession-at-all-costs Martinball Mk 1. Strange as you would think he would be able to recognise that Martinball Mk 2 is better. |

Reply | Messi, would he cut it in the premier league ?

I’d say Messi would struggle in the Prem, just like Ronaldo has. The Prem games are all intense and more demanding than other leagues in Europe, where many games are against minnows. |

You’re right, Messi’s stats are impressive. But he will always be compared to Maradona who galvanized an ordinary Argentina side to win the 86 World Cup, and Ronaldo who similarly galvanized Portugal to with the Euros. In my view, while Messi has obviously individually contributed a lot to Argentina, he has never really made the team more than the sum of its parts, unlike to other two. So the others edge him in my opinion. |

Feeling optimistic about tonight, although not a huge fan of Naughton and prefer NtCham as impact sub. Hopefully a refreshed and motivated Piroe will bag a couple early doors. |

Thread | What happened at the Trust in July 2021?
at 12:17 2 Jun 2022
Hard to understand why Andrew Godden as Chairman and Stewart McDonald as Supporter Rep both walked away from their Trust roles in July 2021? This was when the Trust was, according to their message last June, on the brink of taking legal action and things would soon start to move quickly. The decision facing the Trust board was probably the biggest decision of the Trust existence, after the non-decisions in 2015/16 before and after the club was sold. Them walking away at that moment is hard to understand as leaders don't walk away at critically important moments without good reasons?
Maybe they didn’t have the stomach to be part of taking legal action when things were obviously going to get rough and destabilise the club? Once legal action started, the perks of being Trust officers like Directors Box access on matchdays would surely have ended.
Maybe they knew that the legal case was flawed and not supported by the rest of the Board, and wanted to get out of dodge and blame the remaining board whilst trying to preserve their own reputations and legacies? (interestingly we are now told the Trust did not have funding and insurance properly lined up last summer).
Maybe they didn’t want to spend more personal time on the Trust? This is understandable, but seems unlikely for Andrew Godden as he has since spent hundreds of hours writing essays and continuously slating Dave Dalton and the people who did have the courage to carry on and finally deal with this 6 year long debacle. Stewart McDonald has been as publically silent since leaving the board as he was when Supporter Rep, so no clues there.
Maybe they have some personal issues to deal with - in which case I am sorry for them and wish them well. This is hard to see in the case of Andrew Godden as you would normally expect this to lead to an injection of empathy rather than what looks like an obsession with criticising everything the current Trust board does, giving and stirring up abuse with his own version of events, and acting as if he is still chairman from the peanut gallery. If this is the situation for either of them lets hope they can get any help and professional support they need.
All hard to understand but hey ho. |
