This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

The Pimp does make the odd suggestion. There is a post somewhere way back where The Pimp suggested that Joey Leilua would be a better signing than Corey Hall.

Quote: vastman "If Poching signs Gale it's because he needs that kind of player, it won't be just to fill a gap. How well he does is up to the player, but one things is for sure is that's what Gale will be saying and sometimes you just have to go with your instinct and trust people Yet posters on here whose only real knowledge of RL is playing it as a kid and watching it for 80 minutes every other week - still know best. Bet they wouldn't read a few science books and then go tell NASA they have it all wrong.'"

Quote: vastman "People like you said that about Finn etc etc, it's just RL cliches that are endlessly trotted out by those who don't get it. Just my opinion, but I like to judge players after I've seen them in the RWB not before, that's what coaches are good at but then we have a lot of those on hear. I can't wait for one of them to actually be right
If it was relating to who signed him BG it would matter but because I was referring to the above strategy of the Oracle which clearly failed in the case of Lineham it does not.

You forgot to mention

Kay - can't play hooker

Lyne - will never be a centre

Hampshire - the greatest H/B of his generation

Anakin - the best forward at the club - you forgot to mention the suggestion we try him at stand off. I wonder which Mystic Meg that was ?

Then there are the Mystic Meg ones..

Quote: vastman "You make me laugh.

You pontificate about the club being run like a business then you cry like a baby when it is.

You endlessly snipe about a lack of players and demand that we find magic money from somewhere. Then you have the audacity to lecture people for not running the club in a business like manner. You really are a total piece of work.

One thing I can tell from reading your posts is that you’ve never run a business. You’ve been salaried all your life, probably a cushy number at that. No one who had could so spectacularly fail to grasp how it all works.

That or you’re just a troll. Which is it?'"


I have not run a business, I guess you did once but no more. I bow to your greater business acumen and that a loss of 20% of your customer base and 30% of sales is obviously the way to go. The big difference is that I am not wanting to be the voice of the supporters especially when that voice is so obviously compromised, so much so you are even starting to use the same phrases.
I did not suggest using any extra money other than that gained from the offloading of a large portion of the squad or do you not agree with this and would you prefer to use this elsewhere?
I regret I am not trolling but if my suggestions offend your sensitive side wherever that may be based so be it.

"I regret I am not a troll".........wow

and these suggestions of which you speak? I still haven't seen any? Only talking down what is being done and generalising about what you think is good business. That's hardly going to win you the Apprentice.

I have pointed it out several times gets the product right which helps with the rest. I may have simplified it but that does not mean it is wrong, regardless of the business. I don’t need to talk down the club because they advertise this themselves by confirming the reduction in season ticket and merchandise sales. They also blame the “fans” for this not the fact that what as been produced does not encourage supporters to go.

Still no suggestion. Only criticising.

Pointing out that we need to play better to get more fans in isn't a suggestion of how to improve. We all know that. The suggestion would be answering the question how we do that.

Telling fans where we are with season ticket sales isn't talking down the club, it is communicating to the fan base/customer. Isn't that on your list of things a good business has to do?
They haven't blamed the fans as well you know.

Fun as it is debunking your fake news diatribe against the club, my team is playing tonight. Need to get a move I.

I had a business once and it was very successful until I got carried away. I purchased myself a Range Rover when the business could only afford a Mondeo.

We ran out of money and in the end I sold out to my partner. He didn’t have a Range Rover, he didn’t even have. Mondeo.

He’s now retired and ironically does have a Range Rover.

I’m not bitter, he was right I was wrong, but I did learn. In 20 years I’ve never bought anything I couldn’t afford or borrowed what I couldn’t comfortably pay back.

The club is run exactly the same and rightly so. At the moment we are a second hand Mondeo club but if we can stay in SL within budget one day we will be the Range Rover club.

Hope that helps.

At least it wasn’t a Porsche, but getting back to the future, if it is true that Drinkwater at Catalan is out of favour, then he would be a good signing.
