Am I the only one who sees the title of this thread and immediately thinks,
"Bitch hold my drink while I slap Charlie murphy"
Seriously though, the previos board did a lot of things, however the time has come for us to become a bigger and better business.
The last 20 years has seen coaches come and go, players come and go, money wasted on payouts to players and coaches, high profile signings failing.
The only constant has been some of the board members.
Barry was here for years and his ineptitude has a lot to answer for throughout some of our good years in the late 90's and mid 2000,s. we showed so much and couldn't deliver.
It remains to be seen how this board performs, and whether we going to see another era of jobs for the boys.
One can only hope that these business men, run the place as a business, keep things out of the paper and do whatever it takes to not taint their cv's as was mentioned earlier.
The remainder of this year will give us a good preview.
I like the rest of you are not interested in excuses. I don't want to hear "Asada stuffed us, we had to sack so and so, someone left the club, we couldn't resign old mate".
Get the job done, get people through the gate and support the players and the fans.
All of us different opinions on the former board members and their actions. We all think differently about the new board and whether they are crooks, de la cronies etc.
What we can agree in is that we want to win on the field and off it. Full stop.
