club's a circus since ...

[Gtleighsr3]

Big Jim sold us, it then went Pete tong. OK we had a bit of stability preThompson but just been one co ck up after another ever since. We haven't progressed at all IMO, infact gone backwards. Club is so unrecognisable to the well run ,know our limits team Jim had.

if you believe what you read on here ,we have reached the Promised Land in the form of the Prem . but agree with OP club has gone backwards last 20 odd years

OK,But why did he sell Paul Goddard against his will then??

[Gtleighsr3]

Because he was a shrewd business man, he wasn't minted compared to nowadays. He made odd mistake agreed, not like rest after who one accident after another merchants

He once told my old man 'everything is for sale, if you want to give me an offer for my desk I will sell it to you if the price is right'

Shrewd is an understatement ... Proper FOOTBALL chairman

same reason he would buy a player for £15k and sell him for £500k ,keep the wolf from the door and the club solvent

Ok you lot,but I read that Paul Goodard cried his heart out when he was told he had to leave..
Not sure how his career went after that though.

The problem is mate football is unrecognisable since the Jim Gregory days , its now a multi billion business and its harder for clubs the size of ours to compete at the top table , the monster that is the premier league has produced a game that means huge debt for clubs our size to compete, it was hard in Gregory's day with our ground. fan base, training facilitates to compete in the old first division , so now you can imagine just how hard its with not much changing behind the scene apart from salary's and bonuses and alike .

Pretty sure he would have still been given short shrift on here though.
