The fact that none of the groups with higher shareholdings have released any kind of statement regarding Sarver's bid tells us that they were all against giving up what power they have or think they're about to gain. Otherwise why not publicly back him in the hope of changing the minds of others? King talked about stepping back if someone better placed to make a success of the club came forward, that better option was there and it was blocked so we need to hear why. What is he planning on doing that makes Sarvers bid not worth backing? Same with the 3 bears, most of us think we know what the deal is with Ashleys group so it's more important we hear from the others. Pig sick.

Any paper actually accepting that as a paid advertisement needs to have a fucking long hard look at themselves. Everyone, even the self loathing monobrows that pooled together their collective crayon handling skills to write that, knows that its a pool of horse pish and serves no purpose other than try and get a rise and cause hassle. All that just ahead of a game the police must be already shitting themselves about. Says a lot about the print media if it see's the light of day.

For me Arveladze was just different class. I don't think Alex McLeish managed him very well positionally and that shows by us being the only club he played for where his goals per game dropped below one in two. I just loved the guy. Terry Hurlock as well

Of the ones listed I'd say McCall is by far the best of a bad bunch but I'd rather see it open to application and I'd like to see us go for whoever showed the most ability and enthusiasm to set out a whole new culture and structure. One that was always thinking years down the line instead of next week or next month. I always thought if we could have lived through the pain of the transition then Paul Le Guen would have set us down a really positive road as far as our whole playing and fitness ethos was concerned. I'm guessing he's on Stupid money in Oman but assuming he wasn't lying about the offers he was getting earlier in his career then he has a history of moving to teams/countries that might surprise people. Maybe he was chasing cash maybe he was chasing a new challenge? Either way, assuming we're about to get the settled boardroom we deserve, I wouldn't be upset to see us approach him as manager or DOF and see if he fancied the challenge of proving he was on the right road the last time. He'd be starting with a blank canvas so wouldn't have the dressing room shit he had last time. I appreciate that's still looking back in a way instead of looking fully forward but if not him then somebody who could actually do what he tried/wanted to do would be my choice.
