So for it to go from that to this in one season for us... it's unbelievably refreshing to have someone in charge who gives enough of a sh*t to play the transfer numbers and symbols game with us. And the football is more entertaining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget similar US owner, MON, nearly signing Nzogbia, Bent - we are their ghost of Christmas future and you would have thought they could have seen this coming.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Days like this make me wonder just how much effort Randy made in transfer dealings, or whether he didn't get involved at any stage. God Bless you Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 He'd be more amazing if he didn't instruct the site to slowly tweet this stuff out. Enough of the tease Tony, the stress is exhausting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the stress, pressure and emotion of the Lerner ownership left me deflated and down. When Xia came in it took me a while to really get on board and I was possible a little negative. But I'm on board now and have been for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lapal_fan Posted January 25, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2017 I don't have the vocabulary to expresshow thankful I am to him. Think of spending 60 million pounds of your own money to buy something which is the equivalent of a banged up Jag.. yea, it was lovely once, and it could be again, but you need to spend 2, 3, 4, 5 times what you bought it for to make it lovely again.. I know that unless he didn't think he could make it a working, functional part of his business then he wouldn't even be here.. but by some amazing universal decided chance.. he owns us! He's come in under a somewhat unknown quantity, with big sound bites and big promises, and has - so far - done exactly what he said he would. This point has been made over and over again in this thread, but **** me, I (we) got lucky. A thank you from the deepest pits if my heart Tony. He's done his bit, over to you Steve (and team). 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
