You know, you really don't half spout some bollox.

A simple question? , are Chelsea a successful football club?

Just because you dont understand the point being made doesnt make the point wrong, it just means you dont understand it

To you 2 simple questions

Are Chelsea a successful football club?

Are Chelsea a successful business?

Nothing to do with whether I understand it or not. Simply a matter of you talking out of your ärse again.

I bet the likes of e.g. McManus and Davy and Moran and Caddick would have something to say about your absurd assertion that being financially successful means you must have forgotten how you became financially successful. And would be interested in just why you feel you are qualified to talk about them in that way.

Adey can't you see the fishing line, just slip away quietly and ignore him!

After about 13 years of using boards I recently decided to put a few of the newer morons on 'ignore', including that one - the advice is spot on Blotto, and if I could just add, that if anyone really really [ireally[/i feels they have no choice but to confront moronic outbursts head on (believe me I can fully understand why you might), could you do it without quoting them? Then my blood pressure doesn't have to rise!!

So, are Chelsea a successful football club? , simple question

So why if they are all so clever and successful are all their stadiums not sold out and all their clubs turning a profit?

Sound advice, and followed.

Whenever you pin this one down with something irrefutable, it just comes back with a different question and never addresses the point it has just so spectacularly failed on. Pointless trying to debate with the likes of it, so best on the ignore list. Leave it to the 'Vark to see it off from time to time, since he enjoys assisting it when it shows itself up.

And I had you down as a reasonably intelligent person willing to discus things reasonably, seems I was wrong, when the last lot of owners took control of Bradford, I'm sure they were much lauded as succssesful businessmen who would make the Bulls a better club both on and off the field, so what went wrong? , how do perfectly competant businessmen become complete muppets when they get involved in pro sport?

I know it's our position, or, at least, people's perception of our position, which causes this pointless rubbish to be posted here, but surely it's obvious that, even if their skewed vision of reality were to be even remotely correct, that it's chuff all to do with us? We have no say in it, no control over it and no idea where it's all leading to, so why do they feel this pressing need to unburden themselves of all this bile and venom in our direction?

We can all understand that not everyone is going to be happy but we're just fans; just like them, we turn up and pay our money and abusing us will be totally ineffectual in achieving their aims -whatever they may be.

It makes them feel important. And it's relatively easy to kick someone when they are down, even if it's not behaviour most folk would find particularly civilised.

The vitriolic Trolls are relatively few but they seem to a have an inordinate effect on our passionate supporters on this forum
Why do we even think we can reason with them? Why do we respond to them? A response means like dumb fishes we have taken a sucker bait and continue to get played at the end of a line.

This forum should continue to be open and fair to everyone with reasoned questions and opinions
But FFS if a post looks like a troll do'nt put you mouth around the hook.
Just swim away.

" Mummy, mummy, please make that nasty person go away please mummy "

Not wanting to upset all you delicate little things I'll keep off here

SL? , yer avin a laff

Does anyone know the current situation? What are we waiting for now? Its all gone very quiet, or are the RFL just waiting until the league fixtures are completed. Tell us something!!

looking likely there'll be some news late today or tomorrow according to various twitter feeds. Sutcliffe/Khan bid likely to be approved.

Which ones?
