Indeed. What this guy and others of his ilk just cannot get into their heads is this: if a club is being mismanaged - financially and operationally - or is torn between warring shareholders - then those situations will continue, no matter how much or how little the club spends on players.

Spending less on players - the supposed issue the likes of this guy seem so obsessed about - would not have solved any of the club's issues in recent times. If anything, even worse on-field performances would likely have driven gates and commercial income down even further. Spending the same on DIFFERENT players might have been another story. Having a set of shareholders and directors who actually knew how to run the business would probably have been a totally different story.

The actions of the RFL, far from "try(ing) to save a once-proud club from itself" look to many to have instead achieved precisely the opposite. Baling out a ship that, unlike the rest of us, they must SURELY have been aware was looking like sinking because it was fatally damaged, then, taking its safe haven in payment, and then making sure the rescue ship was holed below the waterline and captained by someone who should never have held a master's licence, seem to me to be a strange way of saving anything?

btw, this guy was one of the ones I was referring to as Dweeb's supporters (specifically, see his post about three pages ago). Him and various other visitors from other forums who do not wish us well, and who seem to find it easy to make common cause with anyone who accepts the RFL version of events without question. And so often deride anyone who tries to put up a coherent argument against them, whilst simply refusing to acknowledge any alternative opinion.

As an aside: if anyone is interested in reading what Craig puts on here, it is surely perfectly clear what he is supporting is what he sees as the rights of such guys to post their stuff, however strange their stuff might read to some others? I suspect he sees in some of them kindred spirits? If he sees himself in what I said, maybe that tells you something, but it was certainly not my intent. I'll leave dealing with his continuing paranoid attacks on me to the mods.

Yes they have all been eaten at dinner parties in Wigan

In tribute to our long-departed friend, who may for all we know still be allowed to read things even if sharp pencils are probably banned



Yes, a little. If you count judgments of the High Court.

It's been a while. You can only run for so long, but you can't hide.

FA -- I just hope your post does not rekindle LeagueDweeb's interest. It's bad enough that Mystic E has reemerged.

So are we getting the points back now then or what?
How is that going to work?

I think at this stage we will have to redeem them for prizes.
