David Clowes Support Thread

[ramAnag]

Can we end this senseless and childish spat between you two. You are both highly respected and great posters on here and have made your opinions clear and obvious so let's call if a day.

I’m sorry mac...I feel a little like I can’t do right for doing wrong. I’ve ignored the jibes for a couple of weeks and I’m actually more than happy not to converse with Swale at all...but when someone ‘attacks’ you by deliberately misconstruing words like ‘rookie’ and ‘amateur’ as being insulting to someone I have actually displayed great respect for and accuses me of making ‘sly digs’, then I felt an explanation to be necessary.

If anyone else reads this thread and feels I’ve been disrespectful to Mr. Clowes then I’m obviously in the wrong and I’ll apologise, but what I said in the third post of this thread and in conversation with you in post #15 certainly wasn’t intended to be in any way disrespectful and I doubt anyone else will have seen it that way.

To be clear...I have the greatest respect for David Clowes. I believe Rosenior spent his (Clowes’) money more wisely than Warne has. It’s not a ‘crime’ to believe that and I’ve attempted to substantiate it by comparing the virtues of the relative signings. Now, got a match to go to where I won’t be abusing anyone at all...just hoping for a good performance and a step back in the right direction.

I haven't given an opinion as to whether Rosenior or Warne have made the better signings, though one could argue that Rosenior's forward and midfielders were/are better and Warne's defenders have been better, not hard because only Rooney remains in defence.

Its your continued and rather irrelevant labelling of Clowes as amateur or inexperienced which is irritating and just plain wrong. No Clowes hasn't owned a football club before, but then neither had Mel Morris. Valid criticism of his decisions is one thing, but making out the guy is an "amateur" owner is unnecessary and IMO insulting to DC. Other than that I don't have an issue.
