I have a suspicion Mr. Hood might work on the basis that saving the club from falling over is more important right now than a public argument with the other fella, given that the latter said nothing whatsoever in his cleverly-worded piece that would resolve the immediate cash requirement?

Or his public image with fans is so badly tarnished now and his stunning ability to shoot himself in the foot in the press he's been advised against replying.

I dont overly trust either but think that Hood is keenest for the club to survive without a need to have his ego massaged. I hope the pledge keeps us afloat and if a change in management is needed it should be sorted then. I have spoken to both and found CC to be the most arrogant bloke I have ever met. I still blame the Harris episode was a major part of our downfall CC was responsible for this.

Red, do you actually want the club to survive? I really do wonder sometime

It looks sometimes like he is desperate for an "I told you so moment". We all need to get behind the pledge and sort problems out after we are sure we have a club to support.

Ehh .

What you on about. The only time I've ever mentioned Hood till this last week was when I criticized him on his handling of the McNamara years his in ability to act.

Why not try offering something constructive rather than just criticising tho? What do u think should happen. Eh?

It's possible for some of the most passionate supporters of the club to come across as negative [ibecause[/i they care so much about the club and hate to see it struggle. I don't always agree with RER, but I have never for a second doubted his commitment.

There [iare[/i people who post on here who deserve the accusation that they would rather be right than see the club survive and prosper. RER can fight his own battles, but for what it's worth, I'm certain that he isn't one.

The general tone of your posts seems to be negative and critical. I think we all need to be batting for the same team at the minute.

Agree. I know Red and I know his intentions, but joe soap doesn't and his comments can come across as wise, but without substance or construction to move the debate forward that's all I'm saying!

I know I can be hard to read at times and I do want the best for the club. It's just at the minute I've got much more important things going on which are a worry I come on here to try take my mind off it.

Stay cool pal. Hope alls well

You are Ken from Widnes I claim my 5 pounds (donated to the pledge)

so we have one chairman that doesn't tell us the truth against one chairman that publicly castigates for not turning up in big enough numbers. Play their game. Back whichever guarantees us survival. We don't have to be any more honest than they are.
