It might have been a shrewd move on their part, but that doesn't mean it would be equally shrewd for us to take him back.

Disagree, I for one will never forget how he completley shiit on us, nor will I forget his try in the derby and the responce to the southstand


We would not go watch our team whilst he played in it.

It would be exactly the opposite in fact.

Not saying Icondone his actions but I can see him being forgiven prety quickly if we suddenly started challenging for honours - maybe I'm too cynical

However, it's led to god knows how much in wages lost, bad press from Mr Cookes mis demeanours. Ill feeling in the camp as some people don't get on with him. I still don't think Morgan ever wanted him.

Why would you say that ? Walker is and has been a very successful businessman in this City for many years. He is and always has been a very big supporter of FC let alone being an ex player.
I think he can bring in fresh money/sponsors to the club especially now that P&O are seriously considering re-locating due to the business rates disgrace.
The added bonus would be that the club had someone on the board that can relate and be in touch with the fans as he once stood on the terraces at Boulevard.
If true I think he would bring a lot of passion back in the board room, something we have lacked since Kath and co have clearly been devoid of.

Thats where and why KR have overtaken us, by drive and passion of supporters and ex players in the board room.

NOBODY RESPECTS OUR CLUB, WE ARE A JOKE TO EVERYONE. IF THAT T**T COMES BACK THEN WE ARE JUST SETTING OURSELVES UP TO LOOK EVEN MORE STUPID THAN WE ALREADY DO. I WONDER WHAT THE OLDER PLAYERS THINK ABOUT THE STATE OF AFFAIRS AT THE CLUB AT PRESENT. I THINK THE DAYS ARE GONE WHEN A PLAYER IS PROUD TO WEAR THE BLACK AND WHITE SHIRT!

Those numbers seem about right to me. Considering a typical selection is likely to be 9/10 of the match day 17 forward-based, 14 of the 25 squad is pretty much spot on. Especially when you have 2 or 3 in there who can also do a job in the backs if necessary.

Is it balls, the reason they've over taken us is shrewd signings by the coach.

Knowing many people who have had dealings with him, I want Walker nowhere near FC thanks very much.

Fans do not always make good owners.

mt thoughts too i was also sat in south stand that day to$$er

Brett Seymour anyone?...

Without Hudgell and Lowe in the board room, the last part of your comment would not have happened as it was they who where responsible for bringing in said coach.

Yes please

No thanks - enough alcohol consumption at the club already - allegedly

True...but half cut he could put in a better performance than Thorman!...

1 - R.Horne
6 - Seymour
7 - Long

Doesnt seem so bad to me!...

So you are going on hearsay rather than actual first hand dealings with the man, ok.

Would you question his loyalty/commitment to the club he has supported since being a kid, why does his loyalty/commitment differ from yours.

It's just my opinion on how I see it, there well 'may be' underlieing reasons why it would not be in the best interest of FC to have Walker there, but you are not in a position to make assumptions like you have, just because your mates dont like him.

No, not at all, we are not talking "mates" here, we are talking family members who came across him in business and people who have actually worked for him, it isn't heresay in the slightest.

When is Agar going to stop using excuses??

What did Brian Smith have to work with when he arrived? He made an average team into a good team by playing as a team not individuals. Something Mr Agar seems unable to do.

Also, as stated above if re-signing Radford, King & CUSACK as HIS signings are anything to go by we are well and truly f00ked.

All three of them should be in NL1, at best!!

Derek

If you haven't met him yourself, it is, by definition, hearsay.

Do you actually watch the game, Derek?

Not by me it wouldn't. And more than a few others.

There's no way anyone would be stupid enough to bring him back. It just wouldn't ever happen.

Maybe, but you can say that about every chairman who makes a good managerial decision. Making a good managerial decision has nothing to do with the passion of having a supporter as chairman.

You might want to take a close look at their financial situation before singing the praises of fans and ex-players being in charge of the club. They've focussed on the playing side but other important areas have not been so well handled, which could store up big problems in their not-so-distant future if not addressed as a priority.

I'd prefer a mix of directors with some not being so emotionally involved in order to provide checks and balances.
