Ryan Reynolds quoted as saying...

... " When you're the chairman of a team, you've got to give it a go"

I'll leave it there Mr Tan, I'll leave it there.

Oh, and like us, their fans have voted with their feet. Only their fans are packing out their stadium and following their club in numbers, unlike Cardiff City, who's fans are deserting as Tan wilfully strips the club at pace.

So you don’t think he has ever given it a go?

Strips the club of what?

Nothing like Hollywood hype to get people onside..... lets see how deep their pockets are in next couple of years if Wrexham dont get promoted this season...which is looking dubious at present.

I think I have made a sensible reply to your very reasonable post on the other thread.

I'm a leopard that can't really change his spots. It is difficult to remain unbiased in these current times. I have my thoughts, views, reasons for feeling the way I do, my own views ;-) and my reply to your other post is reflected in this response.

I actually agree with the first part of your post but you took it a bit far mate

I respect Tan and am thankfull for everything he's done but if he's not interested he should be looking to sell and whilst I appreciate that isn't always as simple as it seems I do wonder how hard they are trying/looking and how serious they are about it

I know his busineses (like everyone's) have taken a battering during the pandemic but we are not asking to sign Messi or Mbappe or spend 250 million on players, just have a go, rather than spending what money we do have appointing managers with no long term goal that you end up having to pay off over years and signing players that you then don't use or loan out.

The Club needs a total restructure and the first ones to go should be Choo and Dalman.

I do wonder what the hell Steve Borley is doing these days aswell, I can only assume he has no say on anything so just keeps the peace cos he's been around football long enough to know/see where issues lie with the lack of football knowledge within the hierarchy surely?

It is and like yourself Chris, Mr. RV Casual is able to see both sides of things which always takes a certain type of intelligence to debate.

Whereas others who can’t see the wood for the trees are showing their idiocracy.

To be fair to them (and I am biased as I love Mcelhenny’s 2 tv shows and Reynolds’ filmography) neither seem to be trying to pretend to be more knowledgeable than they are.

If you watch their 30 minute press conference, mcelhenny’s talking about his morning routine of getting him and his son up at 6am, taking the dog out for a walk in time for Wrexham stream at 7am LA time is something I think we can all respect.
