| Quote PAUL M="PAUL M"Calling people idiots and homophobic comments.
People need to accept that people don't all think alike. I am not against this move I welcome it with open arms but with a note of caution. There are no quick fixes or magic wands. Some people are going way over the top as though the messiah has arrived.
Plus some of the comments aimed at the current board are ott too imo, they have done by and large a very good job.'"
I think you'll find those comments were directed at Sheldon l, not you Paul.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I appreciate what the former BOD did for us, but we haven't progressed so a change was due, I know Adam and I believe him to be a man of his word, hence I am excited about the future, he said in interview that a merger was not on the cards, I also believe that. I can see us with shared training facilities with City, shared physio, shared doctor, shared nutritionsit etc., and that makes sense to me. I certainly don't think we're suddenly going to become world beaters, but what has been nice is to hear some clear, unambiguous, ambition from the very top, instead of being told that 8th and almost in the playoffs is "exciting".
We shall wait, and we shall see, and we'll all (hopefully) be here in 20 years time, by which time I suspect we'll have changed hands at least twice, that is the nature of modern sport, it's a business.

And by and large people are discussing it reasonably. But you can hardly blame people for being hostile towards somebody who's first input is to call people Fucking idiots.

indeed, when people chose to air their prejudice on a public forum, they should rightly expect that prejudice to be called into question.

Just read it all back. Your original comment about idiots isn't helpful and is out of order.
No issue with you disagreeing but in the right way.
