Absolutely brilliant post. The club is stagnating and the only way forward IMO is to blood our own youngsters. That way a connection is made with the fans and local community again.

What has Tan done in the last year or so that's been mad with the exception of turning a large amount of debt to equity.

It could be said he saved our club
Offered to invest heavily if he changed our colours
We protested(rightly in my view ) to get our colours back
He said ok have your colours back but I will cease the heavy investment
Just a different interpretation of the facts from a loyal supporter

I like your thinking sir, this is what I had hoped for a long time. If we can survive this season and bleed youth it will have been a successful season in my opinion. Would love a young hungry striker given a shot.


I second that as Ive always wanted plenty of local Welsh lads,But I can't see that for a while yet as managers like Slade were totally against them and at this moment in time, we have not got that many good enough for the Championship.
So we need to strengthen from outside beginning with a good striker.

Totally agree Annis but I would bring a decent striker in and look to promote a young academy striker as an understudy with a long term plan of nurturing our youth and giving them a path to the 1st team, the rewards for that ethos would serve us well. Just my humble opinion of course

Yeah good point be nice to bleed them and really see them develop. Let's hope someone breaks through under Trollope, might find his hand is forced if we don't bring a striker in and get injuries.

Only a mad man with Dictitorial tendencies would want to change 100 years of history and change our colour with one feld swoop. I couldn't care less if he ever invests again, just want the mad man out of the football club I have supported (with an unbroken season ticket) since 1968 :bluebird:

I agreed with Annis and the moderator to cut the abuse out so for the good of the forum I decided not to get myself embroiled in petty argument with those I deem to be abusive trolls. If you want to continue the debate Allan then be my guest but please do not turn every thread you are involved in into a war of words. Abuse isn't debate.

Either ignore me and leave me alone or stop the abuse and the condescending tone :thumbup:

You called me an idiot because I had a pro blue anti Tan opinion and you didn't like it being expressed. I found unneeded and completely out of order and I am glad the mods saw fit to reprimand you for that. You then said you were going to ignore me and I think you should.

I will not be silenced and my views will be heard whether Tan apologists like it or not.

doesn bother me what you rant on regarding tan and as you know i called you an +++++ because you abused someone and i was defending him it had nothing to do with your tan agenda! i am still waiting for answer to my original question? but in tthe interests of this thread i wont ask it again, and if i respond to a post of yours i will ask it appropriately and expect either an appropriate response or none at all , not some ramblings about one word ok? anyway time to leave this debate as itsbeen derailed enough :wave: :thumbup:

If you ask me a question I will respond to it how I see fit, I don't owe trolls who can't take others opinions without resorting to abuse anything let alone a response. I will politely ask you to ignore me or be respectful of my views like I am to yours. Free speach is something my ancestors fought for for years and I intend on using. Don't like it?
