First XI
Fitz asked earlier what the solicitors had to do with Ron's explanation for late payments. My guess is that the money was provided by way of an inter company loan which had to be correctly documented.
Has he not moved away from that, since Oxford? From what I’ve seen we are moving the ball forward quicker and mucking about with it less at the back, we just aren’t putting chances away enough. We’re even winning penalties. We do need to be the dominant team and take the initiative at home, be interesting to see what tactics Sol goes with today.The only issue I have with Sol, is when he plays 5 at the back - we can't defend, so why play a defesive game - the position we are in I would rather us go for it, rather than hope we might nick one, whilst keeping the oposition out (because that works really well that tatic!!)
No one in life is exempt from scrutiny , but If I was involved with running the trust I would find your remarks extremely offensive.
What exactly should a “properly run trust” be doing that ours isn’t doing? I would genuinely like to hear.
The only part of the post i disagree with is this part, sadly this is exactly how he played when playing for Fulham and was apparently one of the few reasons they let him go, another was being lazy. They tried everything to get him to work more, and could
Lhave lived with part of the above but not all of it together
i read your posts before posting, telling someone they are not 'properly run' is never going to get a positive responseNo intention of being offensive at all.
Please see posts 723 and 732.
Sure it's not the first one; just photocopy one of the last couple of hundred!Fitz asked earlier what the solicitors had to do with Ron's explanation for late payments. My guess is that the money was provided by way of an inter company loan which had to be correctly documented.
Bear in mind the reported views of players and others on here may not even be true- actually I would go as far to say probably exaggerated or unsubstantiated more often than not.
By all means have the fun of the debate, but I would temper your excitement and harsher criticisms of players, managers and others with this in mind.

That’s exactly what Fulham believed and persevered with him for a long time, and also why I guess they gave us him for free with a sell on clause % as if he fulfils it then he will be worth a bit of cash. Laziness can’t be trained out of someone that comes from within, however he has all the other tools to succeed. I’m wondering how much the rumoured bid from Doncaster is for him. Would we be tempted to sell.If that is the case, then time will tell.
For now, I’m willing to given him the benefit of the doubt, for the simple reason that there is clearly some talent there.

Mate, I’m not sure what you want me to say?
Yeah, you could be spot on. He may well just be a lazy ****er, who will not ever progress in the game, despite having some talent.
Only time will tell, as I said.
Personally, I think he’ll go on to be fairly successful, probably away from us, and we’ll look back and wonder why it never happened with us.
Or I could be wrong. Time will tell. Let’s see if he’s even here next month.
Exactly what I was going to say. Where was Simon Cox today?Fair enough.
Sol’s team selection doesn’t lie, or exaggerate though.
See I don’t think he had a good game at all. I think he was on a different wavelength to Macca and Hopper especially and always a couple of yards behind play (concentration? fitness?) .. I know Sol likes him .. I like him, but he’s frustrating for me. He should’ve buried that chance in the first half which was an open goal pretty much. Just lash it in Humphrys!!Please Don’t think I am Disagreeing with you, I think he has all the tools to be a good player, when he wants to be (and we saw it today at times he is quick), has good touch, passing nd shooting (needs to get braver with his heading but that’s a knock on from his injury but he has to get passed that) with all of thos things you can see it’s there. I hope he does see what he has like you do and have a good career, Sol should be working on that with him.
today we saw the best and worst of him, he chased and caused problems, but at times too selfish, one stuck in my mind when he won a free kick on the edge of the box, he should have played mantom in who had a square pass to hopper in on the keeper.
but hopefully it will come.

I agree with the chance, I was more referring to him not being mobile, today first half chased back won’t a tackle and second chased some balls over the top which he usually doesn’t unless within 10 yards.See I don’t think he had a good game at all.

True. I’ve heard he was injured but even if he wasn’t .. he’d not have played I can pretty much guarantee. Sol has made up his mind about him it seems. Annoyingly, Cox at his prime would’ve been the difference today.But even that is one person's opinion of someone.
