You've already changed it from 'business' to 'big business'. :D

Regardless of the personnel ole still is out of his depth tactically! Our set up is always wrong, there is never any solidarity at the back you cn never actually see a back line of 4! we can't retain possesion and we don't have enough upfront to create or score...

He consistently picks KTC who is far worse than super Kev.

Hmmmmm so Branson didnt threaten the government when he didnt get his own way regarding Virgin trains and the certain route from London which forced the government to retract an accepted offer from anothr firm.

If you dont know Bill gates' history then he is the worst example to use as a defense.

Im not defending Tan, just saying he is no different to other billionaires.....Abramovich?? Randy Lerner??

What Im saying is that Ole was not Tan's 1st choice, it was DJ. I/we was asked an opinion and I gave it, this is what led to believe, whether it is true or not is totally irrelevant.


Richard your right there, Tan did choose DJ first and even shook hands on it, then later changed his mind. :thumbup:



:lol: That is exactly what I said, Mehmet and Tans other advisers convinced Tan that Ole was the right man but there again it just shows how poorly a club we are when we actually have NOBODY there that knows anything about football. We have a squad full of ultra defensive players and we appoint a manager that knows nothing but attacking football. Now considering Ole inherited a load of heavily scrutinised players you'd have thought they had the stomach for a battle, no matter how much you try to rally that shower of shit they let us all down badly. With the squad we have we'd have been better going in for Pulis but then stuck with the shite football we endured earlier. If Ole is to stay then from that team today Id only keep Marshall, Whittingham, Caulker & Daehli, Mutch. Medel IMO is a complete liability that makes Cornelious look like a bargain.

You can disagree with whitehall 'experts' without being a meglomaniac with little regard for peoples opinions. Absurd way to measure a mans character.

Bill Gates is far too honest and well meaning to be a Vincent Tan.

Ambramovich? What has he done ? Apart from win the Russian version of Euro millions when the Berlin wall collapsed.

What makes Ambramovic a meglomaniac Craig? To be fair i've not made any pressumptions about him. You brought him into the subject.

I didn't say Gates was giving, i said he was honest and well meaning. Which is nothing like your hero Vincent Tan who definately is a meglomaniac with little regard for others opinions.

Vincent Tan shouldn't have to wait until he's dead. Why? Bill Gates and Warren Buffet haven't.

Google Tan, he is a well regarded philanthropist and has given away millions upon millions already, aswell as pledging half his 1.6billion fortune away.

Correct.Ole is clearly being influenced by Tan who has already asked for more shots on goal and more going forward. The way Ole plays you would think we have Sturbridge and Suarez up front.

For a start, Tan is not in the american league of givers despite matching their wealth, plus, Gates and Buffet sacrifice a lot more than money, they argue for equal oppurtunity at the exspense of their own kids garaunteed sucess under the current system. They aren't driven to horde money and power for the sake of control over the small people.
For instance Warren Buffet argues against inherited wealth or a monopoly of power handed down through families. Gates and Buffet, these are truly great men who are enriching the human race. On the otherhand V.Tan is a man from a Malaysian dictatorship who seems comfortable throwing money around and buying things from wealth amassed under a corrupt regime. but unable to make true human sacrifices or show any regard or respect for the view of small people. although you've done well in reducing this issue onto pounds and pence given, as opposed to behaviour that marks Tan as a Meglomaniac with little regard for people opinions. It's not all about money Craig, I don't klnow what it is with you Neo Liberals.

Ambramovic, That's like me saying the moon is made of cheese and when you ask me why, i say ' go and read about it' ;)

Our failure to bring in quality in the January transfer window has cost . Palace and hull brought in great transfers in January and its proven.

We don't defend well, we don't retain possession enough and we don't create enough chances.

Ole is not the right person...

i would say our failure to bring in quality in the summer transfer window has cost us more than the january window

Havent bothered reading most of this.
Nowis thetimetonot look forscapegoats. It seems some that some fans have been more concerned with the colour change than anything else! They love the chance to slag off OGS and say I told you so.
Of course we need to give OG S a chance. Today OGS wanted to keep it tight for 60 mins then change the formation. Poor defending at a corner caused the first goal when we looked comfortable. The main problem today was a stupid touch by Cala followed by a stupid decision by the ref. Until thenwe were in with a chance playing ittight and looking.

On a seperate point... Why the f did we sign Kenwynne Jones???????. Should have stuck with Cornelius rather than him!
