I could have used longer and more convoluted words like yourself but lets be honest the majority of our fans would not understand them, they are stupid enough to be so far up Carter's booty that all you can see is their toes so understanding words and phrases such as "It offers no alternative hypothesis or strategy and speaks to a destructive and anarchistic nature" is going to be far beyond them.
In terms of offering a Hypothesis, I hypothesize that through terrible recruitment and coaches that the board are leading us down. I do not blame the coach personally as it is not his fault he was given the job when by every conceivable metric he is not up to it.
My solution to the problem in the short term is to relieve Applegarth of his duties and replace him with a more experienced and proven option such as Danny Ward, Brian Mcdermott, John Kear. In the long term we need somebody at the club who actually knows about the game, we have nobody at the club who is experienced in the game of rugby, we are crying out for a Director of Rugby.
Yes I am angry and I feel I have every right to be.

I think you will find that the post albeit a little vague is in fact supportive of the board and questions the supporters negativity.

| The pre match speech by MC said it all. Two plans. One for the Championship, the second for SL. No other SL chairman would approach the media in such a way. That’s because, as said before, he is an account, albeit a good one. He is not the man to sell the future of the club to fans via the media. His facts may have been accurate, but the stuff he said is the kiss of death and for behind closed doors only. I did smile when he gave the coach a vote of confidence!. How many there for Leigh now? 750?
Maybe people like PT, who dropped a pop at me over the pie and peas evening, will eventually see that this is disastrous management, shocking recruitment, and sub standard coaching. I said I would try a bit longer. That’s it. If they can’t give a stuff, why should I.

| Got to agree about announcing to all n sundry we’re preparing for championship ! Of it has to be considered but like you say behind closed doors . Fans need to hear positive remarks to even consider wanting to go to matches .. even us with season tickets! Can’t stand the way we are whimpering our way out of SL … to become an embarrassment in our 150th year is just shameful ! Fight for gods sake !

He can't really win can he. If he doesn't say anything people will say he's blind to the reality but personally, I wouldn't have said it on TV as people only hear what they want to hear and will assume he thinks we are going down.

Agree it’s a fine balance but just so wrong imo … smacks of the year Webster came out virtually saying we’d given up up to the relegation decider !! Anyone with an ounce of sense can see the situation we’re in … need to hear that we’re doing everything to get out of it not succumb to it .

Loving Spooks slightly condescending use of an elaborate and almost extravagant amount of language to slap down altofts. Makes a change to Vasty who just used to do the old "Now then old flower / old cock" undertone of impending violence when responding to a post that met with their disapproval.
What a diverse lot we are!

In Spooki's defense, he was answering a quite condescending posts so difficult to reply without doing the same.
However, I actually think we've all been pretty good lately on this. Very emotive subject with lots of conflicting views and conclusions but I don't think I've had to mod anyone in this period. I do appreciate that.

We also get a gold chair to sit in at every forum evening, a free J2o and as many beef crisps as we can handle.
With a bonus Yorkie every time I correct you on something.

Yep I won't be going again unless drastic changes are made.
Would you like me to resign as a Mod as a protest too?
I would however happily pop into the club for free pie and peas on non match days to save me cooking
my tea.
