Speaking as one of the 'easily pleased', I'd say KevMc is in this because he sees the club as something he is custodian of. It like having a child. They will always find new ways to disappoint you but you keep bailing them out and you love them just the same.

As its Sunday, I think a verse from the Bible might be appropriate. Today's is Mathew 16:26 (paraphrased)

"What good will it be for a football club to gain the whole world, yet forfeit its soul?"

Well some would rather than spout the absurd notion that somehow SUFC keeps Scarborough afloat than think things through.

I agree with your custodian comments but a return to the PL is the only chance of getting the money back. Carry on chucking large amounts at it and even that won't work, hence the cautionary, and frustrating for the fans, levels of spending. Plus the cash , which us what's needed,may not be there anymore for football spending.

... but a return to the PL is the only chance of getting the money back...

Thats my point. I don't think he ever wants his money back. I 'lend' my kids plenty of cash and never expect to see a penny back. I think he sees the club as something he need to preserve and nurture. Thats why we aren't going to see silly money thrown at it.

Bless you my child... I'll see you later for confession.

Rod won't like that sort of talk

[Ayamonteblade]

Rod won't like that sort of talk

not sure I do either

[FatherKnowsBest]

Rod won't like that sort of talk

I'm waiting for him to pop in for a few Hail Marys, a couple of Our Fathers, and light a candle from last week. What he was doing in that lap dance club was anyone's guess. Muttered something about ironing and legged it before he got absolution. I'll catch up with him next Sunday Evensong, I expect.

Very aptly put Father, although it wouldn't reallay apply to those from southern Barnsley as they all sold their souls to the dark side years ago.

Pigs don't have souls.

Pigs don't have souls.

We know. They sold them to the dark side years ago. D'uh...
