What a crock of shit.

Firstly because of the stupid use of that phrase which is covered on the this is forum.

Secondly why has this article been published? Like someone else has stated on thisis why didn't Puffett come out last November and say what great news the prospect of Bill Power's new investment into the club is.

What the fuck is going on at the Adver?  That "story" is not newsworthy.

Puffet is a grade A cunt and should but his nose out.Hasnt he got his own little empire at Supermarine to play God at? I used to think he was alright but he was a failure at STFC so what the fuck gives him the right to comment on anything.Just another patsy with his own agenda.

que Asher saying what a great bloke he is and that hes just a fan,etc,etc

Agreed.

We averaged about 15k in the premiership. We have won 1 major trophy in our history (and even that was the least important major domestic trophy)

We are not a sleeping giant of a club. We are a club that should be fairly happy if we reached the championship, based on size and fanbase.

Dont want to be on too much of a downer, but it pisses me off when people start thinking their clubs are bigger than they are and dont want that to happen to us.

Do you think he went down the Street in Police Squad to get his info, you know, the shoe shiner?  Haven't seen him down my street asking for opinions.

Sleeping giant

It's attitudes like that one that cause the problems, too many people thinking they can make money out of our great potential.  What would be nice is for someone to run the club on the basis of trying to make it work with we have at the moment, crowds of 7000ish when doing ok, anything we achieve beyond that is a bonus right now.

Less than 15000 wasn't it, with many games well below a sell out, most notably Oldham right at the start of the season with around 11000 in attendance.

If I remember rightly Monsieur puffett was one of the gang of 4 consortium who ousted the brady bunch was he not.
So as far as i am concerned he also has made many promises which were not kept.
Therefore he has no credibility

Has he been in a coma? we have had an exciting takeover in the offing since September with the dream of kicking out the current clowns and running on an even keel.  What ever next for Puffet we may walk on the moon?
