    Do you think the January and August 2017 windows have no relevance to our current predicament?

    Said that at the time when it was extremely unfashionable to do so.

    Don’t get monk on because people disagree with you.

    You stated an opinion. People give theirs. Don’t be a princess about it if you don’t like the alternative viewpoint.

    It's not a conflict of interests, we all support BFC.

    You and Redstar are daft. Genuinely daft. You've got no idea how to conduct yourselves. There's more sympathy with your point of view than you'll ever know, but you'll never hear it because no one is ever going align themselves with you two because you come across as crass, aggressive, tactless and bordering on mental. No one is going to publicly agree with you because anyone who does will be tarnished with the same brush and no one is stupid enough to do that. People want to be as far away from that sh*t as possible. All the pair of you have done is stop genuine debate and evaluation of the tenure of a previous owner. Congratulations.

    I think we can all agree if Tiverton Preedy hadn't bothered we wouldn't be in this position.

    That’s it then, ******* Arsenal. I’m going to draw Arsène Wenger on one knacker and Charlie Nicholas on the other and dip them in boiling fat.
    That’ll learn em

    The January 2017 window has zero relevance. None of the player who left would have been here this year anyway.

    If we'd brought in some decent replacements they might be.

    John Dennis twisted rather than sticking in an attempt to get back to the Premier League. PC had a strategy to make the club self sufficient. Both ultimately failed with dire consequences. They had the best of intentions though and neither deserve the bile that has come their way from some. People have short memories. One delivered our journey to the promised land and the other saved the club.

    Yes it wasn't the done thing to criticise the Cryne regime. In 2017 I drew parallels with Hill's tenure when, had it not been for Portsmouth's points deduction, we would have been relegated in the 2011/12 season. Those who put Patrick on a pedestal often fail to realise that he freely admitted that he had made mistakes during his tenure, I don't doubt they were honest mistakes and that he sincerely wanted the best for the Club.

    Perhaps in order to avoid Hitlerian accusations your wonderfully accurate post might better contain an "in my opinion" disclaimer.

    Though they are both daft (in my opinion)

    Serious question. because I'm fed up with arguing.

    Who do you credit with the turnaround, cup win, promotion and player recruitment in the season following the departure of Danny Wilson?

    If your answer is anyone other than Patrick Cryne, you are kidding yourself and looking for a scapegoat.

    I was saying this about Cryne and Cryne junior months and months ago even got banned off here for saying it far too many were and are prepared to buy into the spin and defend the previous owner despite the evidence on and off the pitch he may have saved BFC a decade ago but his running of the club for the last 2 seasons have led to this.

    Wilson for signing Winnall, Cryne for some of the signings, Heckingbottom for getting the results.

    The one person I'm not crediting is Jonno.
