To be fair to Tom, that "abuse" was in retaliation to you decreeing that we should all go back to sweeping the streets as we knew nothing of negotiation or some other highly intellectual, self indulgent rambling nonsense. The only surprise is that you took a few hours to respond. What was so important tonight that dragged you away from trolling the forum?

Did I touch a wee nerve there?

People like yourself and Faraway have, as usual, made this into a bigger deal than it originally was. A few of us didn't like the article and the fact that Lennon seemed happy with his squad. Deal with it. Also, if you're so f**king smart why are you spending your evenings trolling around this forum mixing with the likes of us? Finally, for anyone whose interpretation of the article is Danny paying "mind games" with agents and the media..........really?

How does being unhappy, as a few of us are, with an interview that indicates the manager is content with his current squad equate to "pishing your knickers"? Why is it that when anyone has the temerity to post something on here that's even close to an expression of dissatisfaction you are all over it like a little troll with your depressingly predictable brand of sarcasm and wee smilies/waves? Some people just don't think like you. Can't be the first time you've come across that surely?

Why not just say nothing at all then?

So, you're in the same boat as a lot of people who've posted then? Not happy with the current state of the squad. That wasn't difficult now was it?

It's relevant, you annoying little prick, because I asked the question. Also, how do you know how much money we have and if that's the issue at play here.

Ok then smart arse, are you happy with the current state of the squad? What would success look like, to you, next season?

I don't particularly like Lennon as our manager but even you, the staunchest Lennon acolyte, can't be happy if we were to go into the season with what we've got? Also, do you really think he'll get another contract if we finish second bottom next season?

Fans who sit on the fence? Fans who can't really afford it but might be influenced by one or two decent signings? Fans who've ever had a season ticket before and have chosen the games they attend? Fans who've had a season ticket for years and are thinking about what else they could spend their cash on? I could probably go on but the fact is that the OP is right to a degree. Who wants to read pish like this? Who gets excited by their manger stating he's happy with the squad that, even the most myopic among us can see, is woefully short of quality in certain positions. The group that finished second bottom last season has been decimated and if DL thinks what he's brought in so far is good enough, either in terms of quality or numbers, then we're probably going to suffer another underachieving league campaign. His last, in all likelihood.

Do we have to pay Newcastle for appearance? I know this happens with most "big" teams and if that's the case them it probably explains the price of a ticket.

That's well below the minimum wage so surely can't be true?

You really are a smug prick aren't you? You could almost set your watch by the tedious shite you post on subject of the 10,0000 hrs bid but it's done now and you got what you've clearly wanted from the start so why don't you just maintain a dignified silence and enjoy the moment rather than create another thread for you and Sid to beat it to death? I appreciate, judging by the number of posts you've made on the subject, that this has been a big part of your life in recent times but it's time to move on from a subject that's polarised our support for far too long. Stop stringing it out please.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Seething!

I don't know why people keep responding to this troll?

It's actually quite sad that the doom-mongers on here feel the need to make up some poncy alias and avatar to create the illusion that, at least, one more person supports their views.

No, just you.

Are you on some sort of medication? That's, at least, half a dozen ridiculous statements you've made on this thread alone. You don't like the current situation?Yes, we get it and if you just made a sensible point without all your usual hyperbole then some people might just listen. I assume the irony is lost on you that you accuse the CIC of scaremongering then post shite like above? Take a break Sid, it beyond tedious now.

What makes you an expert on the average fan? The current custodians want out and this plan, which they seem to think will work, seems like a viable option. If this gives fans a say in the running of the club then that may well be a good thing but I, and I'm sure many others are the same, don't have the time or inclination to get involved and would much rather trust others to run the club as I trusted those that came before them. Plenty of things have happened to our club over the years that I didn't "like" and I still go, home and away, every season which costs me significantly more than the tenner a month 10,000 hours is looking for so if someone makes a decision I don't like in future I'll have a bit of a rant with my mates at the next game and quickly move on to other, more important, things. Everyone doesn't require the forensic level of detail you seem to (although you don't seem quite sure what that actually is other than "detail") but if you know what you want answered then get along tomorrow night and ask away but don't presume to judge others because we have different opinions and lives outside of the B&W Army forum.

You'll likely turn up tomorrow and ask nothing. You really are a wearisome wee man. You've tried to make your point several times over numerous threads and most people just don't give a f**k. I'm pro-CIC 'cause it seems like a good idea and the tenner a month won't be missed fortunately but if fan ownership means boring, self obsessed knobs like you get involved then I might have to cancel my DDM. The only consolation that your thread building has delivered is that we've been spared your usual close season "exclusives" on the transfer front.
