onevision 1,436 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 The board must find a way to total free us from the vice like grip this fat prick has on us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 6,073 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 It reminds me of the great WC FIELDS a well known blasphemer and womaniser who retired to a sanatorium when one visitor asked him why he was thumbing through the pages of the Holy Bible , looking for loopholes son looking for loopholes you never know when the bad man will come calling , what we need is a good lawyer to find some loopholes . . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get the club back and put as many building blocks in place as they have has been a tremendous effort. However, the retail challenge has proved to be a tough nut to crack. Not that surprising given how Ashley operates. I'm not a lawyer but given the particular circumstances surrounding the relationship, if S.D.I. propose or agree to sign a contract with us, then you just know that there is something smelly in the small print. .....I'm guessing that the lawyers pointed it out (obviously don't know how they described it) and then they would have discussed the matter with DK. That said, we have to wait and see how it pans out, with the emphasis on WAIT (which SDI are more comfortable with). 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we've reached the stage where the board can be criticised without having a proviso that they've done well in other areas. I'd think that it goes without saying. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think that it goes without saying. An individual can choose how they deliver criticism but not lay out guidelines as to how others go about it Given our recent history I think it important to provide balance. I heavily criticised previous regimes (especially from May 2011 to March 2015) without any mitigating balance because they didn't have any meaningful credit. The important thing IMO is to criticise or question X or Y when you think there is merit in so doing and that is where the issue and conversation should be.... although I wouldn't dream of laying out any guidelines for you !! In this particular case, I was speculating on a game that I haven't actually seen, nor is it yet finished. #Frustration #QualifiedCriticism 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
