Riley, I hadn't realised Kempo thought I abused him or that I am (was) Ridgeway Kid and Wendun (?). Amanda keeps calling me Paddy for some reason.
I actually enjoy Kempo's posts and think he's OK.
Let's get something straight. My attitude to TS is well known but it is fuelled in part by what I see as an overwhelmingly grovelling attitude towards him by the vast majority on here. His property company has built a shiny palace for you all to spend your money in and he can now apparently do no wrong.
Right. I have stated many times that imo the role of a football chairman is two-fold. Firstly, to select the manager. Again imo TS has got this wrong as often as he gets it right. Secondly, to ensure the club is adequately financed. I think here he's failed. Now I know we can't compete etc etc but that's not the issue. A look at the accounts of Championship teams shows that most invest around 100% of turnover in wages. RUFC invested only £4.8m from a turnover of £11m.
Finally, TS mentions moving the club forward but where is the plan? What is his proposed mechanism? Where is the money going to come from?
I believe that you can be a Miller and still view the chairman with a bit of cynical realism which is not in any way the same as hostility.
