    No because it’s just this once not every post.

    Why did you need to make such a big post to say thing where better under Ben??

    You just don't help yourself.

    If you actually got straight to the point without embroidering every post with digs, agendas and slipping in how many aways you went to, people might take you more seriously.

    For the record, I'm disappointed that all yesterday's build up was to provide a massive anticlimax. Unless the takeover is part of today's agenda, it's badly timed and insensitive, and I can't believe the club which employs lots of local staff, amongst them reds supporters would think it was a great idea to get us all excited over absolutely nothing.

    Ben Mansford also tried to change the badge, remember that?

    Getting rid of him was nearly as enjoyable as getting rid of the dwarf.

    There’s a reason clubs don’t have a Ben Mansford giving interviews to radio stations every night & it’s because it costs them money.

    What do you think agents do when they hear the chief exec of a club revealing all about a potential transfer getting the fans excited? They bump up their demands.

    It ain’t good for business & whilst many fans might enjoy been kept ‘in the know’ it’s unprofessional & ends up with you losing your targets or having to pay more to get them

    Now we have a poster saying what was doing is wrong haha. Ben mansford know more about what agents do and think compared to Gauthier and that old ceo times 100.

    He worked for the biggest sports firm in the world.

    Here's a question for you Hemsie, if Gauthier asked you to meet him to discuss your concerns about the club would you?

    I'd love to know how some folk would have got on in the pre-internet days when all we had to go on was the Chronicle, Star and the matchday programme.

    Anyone who has ever been involved in a business buyout, especially one involving governing bodies and international transactions will realise it's not exactly like buying a bag of chips from Summer Lane chippy. It takes time, patience, lots of expertise, a great deal of legal work and consultation and no hands are played open, there's too much at stake.

    He doesn't want to interactive with fans. He's currently stood in a spot where no fans can talk to him.

    Yes Mansford tried to pull us out of the 1950s - which isn't a bad thing.
    He also was the best CEO the club has had at promoting the club - getting on the radio as much as possible and saying positive things about the club - just generally generating interest.
    Some fans didn't like him because some fans are afraid of change at the club - like they are afraid of change in their lives.

    On the other hand ..... has anyone actually seen Ganaye in person ???

    The same Ganaye who you were in love with during the summer during our recruitment process you mean?

    I think this should be the stock response in future for people who wish to show that they disagree with his posts so that anyone reading this board doesn't believe his opinion is the same as the majority's. It gets the point across and is respectful. Hemsworth might not be respectful to people in his posts but that doesn't mean others should lower themselves to his level, even if they believe he deserves it, all it does is bring them down too.

    Change the club into what? A handsome prince?

    Apart from the few that want to regress back to the 1980s by bringing back standing, I don't know any reds fans that don't welcome progressive change at the football club.

    What that's got to do with people changing their own lives I don't know. Maybe you've got summat you'd like to tell us?
