What are your thoughts of the sacking of the old firm and having O'Farrell and Richo overlooking the footy scene at your club Silverdale?
Thanks for asking DD I have a lot of respect for you, even when we disagree.
Very excited and something I’ve been after for about 3 seasons at least.
A lot of bad things were occurring under the old board, especially mates being appointed, Sheens wife was given a job, Hastings, Joffa and Lucy released prematurely.
Bad jerseys, massive cost overruns and bold faces lies. Arrogance and incompetency.
Favoured players like Rowdy walking out.
The whole joint was at war.
And spoons! Strange to say but they were the least of our issues. I’m not exaggerating. If we had a good board and proper staff, if the players were United and having a go and at the optimum, the spoon is less shameful.
But when you think you deserve the spoon as a club, and there is no light on the horizon, that’s hard to cop.
Here in LU, we had a deep and irreconcilable fractures. Friends turning against each other. It was terrible.
So I’m happy something has changed.
I know a lot of you guys are deeply troubled by your board, so I hope our liberation can help you somehow.
If we can pick up and you stay in the doldrums, you might end up like us.
I’d rather you have a peaceful settlement and lift naturally.
I don’t think Benji should be coaching us. I don’t think he’s experienced enough or ready. That’s an unpopular view that’s lost me a lot of friends. But I can sleep fine.
The new board, he’s got no friends to protect him now. That’s a good thing. He will live or die on merit like flanno. That’s the better way. It’s a brutal sport.
