Its my opinion on how relevant he is to me. To be honest I should of put that at the end of my post. Everyone likes different styles. For me I find a fans view far more relevant as it more likely match my view.
For me I find his stuff really negative to a fault. I'm not talking just about this season as nobody could find a chink of positivity but over previous seasons and previous owners he has the same constant negativity.

To be honest I disagree with almost everything he writes especially owners. We could have anyone in charge and mcintyre would slag them off, its what he does and he does it well, he's just to 1 dimensional for me.
When you compare him to some fan blogs and our very own Clive then he is pretty irrelevant. |

I'm with you westo.
Always felt the police weren't blameless but that the real issue was with Liverpool fans but as the documentary showed they didn't rush the gates, even after the gates were opened they didn't charge into the terrace they just headed naturally to the nearest point to see the game.
The disaster could of happened to any club who had made the FA cup semi final and got put in that end. Heysel etc has nothing to do with this.
Interesting that Danny Baker was commenting last night that he felt the riot at Luton was caused by exactly the same police decision. They opened the turnstiles and let everyone in and as the terrace filled up beyond capacity people who tried to get of the crush and onto the pitch were bitten by dogs and baton charged back into the crowd until the millwall fans finally had enough and charged the police. Not sure I believe this 100% but he did say they didn't attack opposing fans just the police.

To everyone on here. The one thing I have learnt working in my job is too copy in your MP on everything even if you are clearly wrong. Most MPs are so shit scared of getting negative press they generally get involved.
Although this generally only works with back benchers. If your MP is in either cabinet then you wont even get a response. |

I live in leicester and I have never had any problems, probably because its not seen as a revenue generator to the council but I have seen the number of wardens floating around london and you are right it is a revenue generator just like 80% of speed cameras. Which is completely wrong.

Had a colonoscopy the morning before the watford away game where we secured promotion.
Consultant was a leicester fan. Quite surreal having him insert something in my arse whilst discussing tarbs ability, who we would buy when we went up, warnock etc.
Its probably very similar to being friends with Mark Lawrenson tbh. |

Bosh,
I don't think crowe has got a leg to stand on but id still ask to see the evidence just in case they haven't got it.
Its worth noting crowes story.
Background
I parked on a side road. Put the money in Pay and display machine. Pressed green button, no ticket came out. (At this point the council process dictates crowe should of rang the number on the ticker machine to report a fault, he didnt) Left a note in the windscreen, explaining situation, went to daughters birthday party. (At this point crowe has broken the rules of parking on this street and is fineable)
Returned to car 10 minutes later to see warden slapping ticket on my windscreen.
Explained situation and asked him had he not seen my notice. He shrugged his shoulders and walked away.
Returned to get something out of my car 20 minutes later, to see warden stood by ticket machine surrounded by 4 other people who had put money into the machine and not received ticket. Saw warden with a ticket in his hand. I asked him I could see that ticket and he put it behind his back. I snatched out of his hand and sure enough it was my ticket (right amount and right time displayed) that had never come, that he had obviously got out of the machine somehow. He demanded it back and I said no. He called me 'a bloody b*stard'. (The traffic warden should of just handed it back because at this point he would have no idea on whether crowe had rang the number on the ticket machine to report the fault, regardless he has done job correctly by issuing the ticket. The warden seeing the machine was broken should really of reported that so the council could get it fixed and take into consideration any appeals for that day, but the process is clearly written on the ticket machine saying if its broken then ring then number,)
Wrote to council and told them all of the above, enclosing a photo copy of my pay and display ticket . Got a reply yesterda saying that they had received no complaints about the machine being faulty and that I should've phoned the telephone on the side of the ticket machine to report it faulty as that would have corroborated my story. I did not display a ticket and therefore the fine must stand. 60 quid, doubled if not paid in 14 days.

Westbourne. I agree where you are coming from but the council also has a duty to the residents of that area to ensure that they can get access to their props etc as well as keeping routes clear. Parking wardens are a necessary evil. If there was nobody to police where people park then it would become chaos.
Its worth noting the lesson learnt for blackcrow anyone else who has to pay and display park. If there is a fault with the machine then you should make all reasonable efforts to follow the process laid out on the parking ticket machine if there isnt one, take a picture and make sure you check there are no other machines available to use close by.

Let them make that decision. Remember you want to cause them as many problems as possible. You are dealing with Robots who are basically following a flow diagram of things to do. Every time you send a letter they follow the flow diagram.
Ask them for the evidence you didn't display the ticket correctly. If they haven't got photographic evidence of this then challenge them that as you clearly have the ticket that they have incorrectly fined you.
Obviously if you decide to go to court then the 1st complaint you've sent might trip you up but thats up to a court and some with more legal nous than me and you are ages away from going down that route. |

I would ask to see the evidence that you hadn't displayed the ticket. Hopefully they haven't got any and will drop it. If they have then you haven't got a leg to stand on. The parking meter clearly displays the process to follow if the machine doesn't work. You didn't follow that process etc.
Always ask for evidence with a parking/speeding fine etc.
When they provide the evidence they should include the wardens name or employee id which I would then use to write a complaint about his behaviour. |

Lets be honest we dont exactly help ourselves as a club. What the media team should be doing is getting Tony or Amit in front of the SSN cameras for a interview so they can shoot down these rumours and also confirm issues around debt etc.
Also people need to understand the difference between debt and loans. From my very poor tax knowledge I understand that if TF was to give us 20mill as a gift then we would have to pay tax on this. If TF or a company lends us 20mill then it is tax free or you pay smaller amount of tax.
The question is what are QPR to the mittals and what are we to the group of business men behind Tony.
To the mittalls we are a leisure activity and something they could take or leave. I think Amit likes the lifestyle and rubbing shoulders with footballers. I honestly believe he has fallen for QPR like we all have but he also has a good business head and is fast becoming a successful business man in his own right. If he becomes as successfull as his father in law we could become another chelsea or man city.
What do we mean to Tony and the group behind him. We are simply an extension of their marketing programme. As long as football stays big in the far east or any markets they wish to expand their business interests into then they will keep pumping money in. Expect us to sign more far east players when we become an established prem club. Ou sponsorship will change between these different companies depending on what products they want to push. |

I would quite like TF and the rest of the tune board members to spend a day at west brom. Up and down 5 times. But if anyone went last season and got a programme read the 8 page interview with the CEO. They track there tansfer targets over years not weeks, they always have 3 managers in there minds should a change happen.
Its how a club should be run. If they ever have a bad season and go down they will come back up or cut their cloth accordingly.
I said this when TF came in and we started panic buying. Clear our debts using the prem money don't add to it. |

Its a lesson for west ham.
Cov sold highfield road and moved into the ricoh which was built by the council in partnership with private investors on a 99 year lease.
If we build a new ground its vital that we own it and dont lease it. |
