    Right - I'm imagining I'm a BFC player.

    I've just been to the imaginary cash machine.
    The imaginary hookers have just arrived at my imaginary house.
    I've just cocked their imaginary quims and snorted imaginary charlie from their imaginary tits.
    Oh no, their imaginary pimp has just arrived and threatened me with an imaginary gun.
    I seem to have **** my imaginary pants.

    What was the question again?

    First of all, thank-you for your reply, and thank-you for the detail it includes.

    First of all, I think that you are being modest. Your reply is in proper English. It is spelled correctly and the grammar is good. Are you being modest, or do you have your own reasons for claiming to be one of the lads.

    Your pursuit of Keith Hill has been long and vitriolic, not so much a pursuit, more a campaign. Like yourself, I do not think that Hill is particularly intelligent. He misuses words and mixes metaphors. But this does not bother me, because he does not need to be intelligent, he simply has to know about football. He made comments about some of the Barnsley fans. Personally, I did not take offense because I did not think he was referring to me. I hope that my skin is think enough not to take offense in any event. I suspect that even those who were offended by his comments would have moved on if the team were doing better. But they are not, and it is much more difficult to forget when you are looking for an excuse. I have no idea if Hill is a good manager. Undoubtedly, his results are poor, but he has had fewer resources at his disposal, and even those meagre resources have been choked off in response to the effort to sell the club. His post match comments are given when emotions are high, and when thought processes are not as under control as they might be. Compared to the nonsense written on here in the aftermath of a game, his comments are positively Shakespearean. My point is not that Hill is a good manager. My point is that you have mounted a campaign against him, and are trying to influence opinion on here against him. I can still remember the head tennis comments at the end of the Ritchie regime. I did not like that campaign, and I do not like this one either.

    The club is being run on a shoestring. In the circumstances, any increase in overhead must have a payback. I am sure that Don is better at some things than his is at others, as you remark. I am equally sure that he is spread very thin. The town economy is at rock bottom, and this is at least partly responsible for the fall in attendances. Personally, I am not convinced that there is that much more revenue sloshing about in the local economy and certainly not enough to justify taking the risk on increasing overheads by taking on additional marketing/selling staff aimed at opening new markets. As for increasing the size of the board, I am not sure what skills you think the board needs and I am not clear if you expect the new board member(s) to be paid for bringing those skills to the board (see previous references to shoestrings). As for Mr Taylor, I do not know what he does either, but I put that down to my ignorance rather than his.

    The biggest risk to the long term future of our club is that they get the transfer of ownership wrong and the club falls into the wrong hands. Let those who know what they are doing deal with it.

    I am sure that you can see what is wrong, but you are taking a very negative attitude towards it. Unfortunately, the solution to all of the problem that you have identified is money. The people who are trying to solve the problems are trying to do so without any money. Should they throw their arms in the air and tell the club that the situation is impossible, should they walk away like our last manager did because he thought the lack of finance would damage his career, or should they get their heads down and try to cope with an unequal situation.

    ****.
    The imaginary Police have turned up, but they're pretend imaginary Police and have robbed the imaginary pimp & tied us together.
    The imaginary pimp, Leonard, has freed an imaginary arm.
    I thought he was going to give me an imaginary hiding, but he's doing something much, much worse.

    It's an imaginary nightmare.
    I'm wishing I'd imagined playing for Rotherham instead.

    Don't panic I've picked up my imaginary phone and rang the real imaginary police
    The imaginary operator told me that she's dispatched an imaginary police car around to your imaginary address
    Apparently they are well aware of Leonard the imaginary pimp and they've been after him for years
    So the imaginary operator as asked if you can keep occupied by pushing back on him for a little while longer

    It's getting worse.
    The real imaginary Police are here, but Leonard has escaped and left me with an imaginary vase of daffs in my anus.
    The imaginary gaffer just called too and has given me an imaginary transfer to Donny Rovers.
    The imaginary fee was 5 imaginary pounds sterling and imaginary bum AIDS.

    My imaginary wife has left me, but has left the imaginary kids here.
    My imaginary life is over.
    I need some imaginary counselling.

    Hill becomes the focus point of the fans anger and the press rather than the players. Stones has been weak lately yet no one is asking questions. If Hill wasn't baring the brunt we could be turning on the players or the press could be asking about under-performing players. Mourinho often does this tactic. Clearly i'll need to add that Hill isn't Mourinho even though I shouldn't need to

    Well it could possibly be that, or maybe you are giving Hill too much credit. Who knows?

    I listen to Hills comments and I hear "if I had money I'd replace these players with some that are up to it". Its a bit like saying to your lass "If I get the chance to have a bird with bigger tits, you can f+ck off". See how well that goes down . . . .

    I'd bum him to death.

    It'd give me more self belief - if I'm an Aldi player and competing with Harrods then you know you're doing really well. Stop trying to read into stuff that is pure and utter ********.

    From the horse's mouth

    The players see a totally different Keith Hill to the persona portrayed to the press. He's extremely loyal to his players and very protective of them. What's said to the press has no bearing to the players attitude and approach out on the pitch.

    Re: From the horse's mouth

    He's played in almost half of our games this year. He was starting in central midfield and then got sent off, we were then playing quite well and he then started against Leeds, Peterborough.

    Not exactly frozen out is he?
