i disagree,widespread booing of him at Leeds game, all other Rangers message boards fairly scathing of him. But hey,all about opinions

Hope you are well Brighton?

Disagree all you like Merry, you are as entitled to your opinion as much as anybody else.

And I'm fine thanks. (I would have said "fine thanks mate" but remembered you telling me once I'm not your mate. )

Hope you are keeping well too and enjoying the recent developments.

Merry, me ol china...aa's tricks?

The spelling mistakes were deliberate, mate. Going all cockney, weren't I?!

[The Merry Ploughboy]

I'm going to agree with you Bluehoop. In fact, I believe that the majority feel that way.

You've never been entirely alone Benny - I'm so neutral on the GP debate I'm starting to think I'm Swiss.
What you say above states exactly how I feel on the subject and one thing will never change - the pro brigade will never concede an inch and neither will the anti brigade.....................so this arguement will never go away.
All we can hope is that now he's gone it will just drift off into the depths of our memories.

[qprbrisbanedivision]

i've so many emotions and views on this ..(like hundreds of other r's) that i'm not going to post anything except to say..

Onwards and upwards as a team / club!!

[Bluehoop]

In fairness, I'm about the only person who sees any middle ground here. Some love the man in a cringeworthy way, whilst others hate him mainly from hearsay. Not many really know the truth, which is why I don't get too involved where he's concerned. I feel he's a clown, but I don't believe he's as malicious as some make out.

Maybe my view is based on the fact that I couldn't give a s**t about the bloke either way. I'm pleased he's gone though as hopefully this over run debate will start to die off soon.

Either way, he was the last piece of a rough recent chapter in the clubs history. Hopefully we progress now and continue to build our reputation back up.

Jeffro,

In this world of social media, everyone has an opinion.

Certain people will find reasons to explain why someone may have a different opinion from themselves. They will use illogical reasons because ego tells them they are right, instead of looking at the bigger picture, that the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

Just because I was Pro paladini does not mean he used this site, he didn't need to.

My opinions were mine shared by many, but they never wanted to get embroiled in slanging matches over the internet. Of course it can be counter acted by saying many disagreed, but in any walks of life the more people those that disagree with a topic or issue, tend to be the loudest heard

Reality is Dave Mcintyre is no more opinionated than you and I. Personally, I feel many supporters wanted this site to fail, reality it didn't. Wouldn't matter who is in charge at boardroom level. The people connected with this site have worked hard both here and behind the scenes to make it all work. You even get the most critical posting on it, so it cannot be that bad.

All votes carried on this board in the past have strongly indicated this forum was indeed not Pro Paladini, so it was hardly a mouthpiece for anyone. Just, because I was a staunch defender, does not make me more or less a supporter than anyone else, though more than once that has been questioned.


In fact, if we got relegated this season, the whole cycle of defending the current board by me would probably start all over again.

Its now a new era and lets hope we can sustain premiership football and more importantly now have some unity amongst the fan-base.

sorry mate you got the bit wrong about defending this current board if we went down! that statement is so out of touch with our fanbase its scary! if we did go down this season i think most of our fans would still back this board! the problem with your mate g.p was he made so many fock ups it was crazy. any other job and he wolud have been sacked! he single handly split our fanbase so i for one say thanks gianni now sod off and dont come back!

Fair amount of stick both ways.

That of course is only my opinion. Just like all things are in life.

Especially the bit that says :

He used the internet to boost his support and image etc.

Is the article implying that this site was designed in the 1st place to back Paladini..

Mods please don't move as I want a discussion on the article and what is meant by the website/Internet being used by Paladini?

I guess the easiest way to approach this issue is by identifying which sites/MBs/forums etc focussed on GP. Then looking at which of those sites consistently pushed and peddled stories and views that presented GP in a favourable light.

I'd suggest that narrows down the pro GP internet outlets VERY significantly.

Shame that Dave Mc can't be a little more open at this stage in identifying exactly who he is talking about. However I'm sure that won't take too long.

Jeffro very happy to let this and other threads runs. Pete no longer has any active involvement in this site (though he is free to post if he wishes). I personally have never had any strong views on Gianni as think he did do some good things for the club - like get the rich boys involved - but he also made us a total embarassment at different times.

All I ask is that all posters remember there are such things as libel laws, so criticise away but be sure of your facts and think whether you can prove what you say, whether for or against Paladini. Many thanks
