If you guys had half a nut between you all, you would organise a buy out.
 


Are you May wang in disguise? She loves her buyouts too, haha, just kidding. There are partys that are happy to step in should they be needed, that has been covered before.


I think people find (though some mods on here don't do any favours also with some inflammatory comments) that a certain post on here came across as demanding respect for your success which was totally irrelevant on a forum that has nothing to do with the day to day running of the club as a business.

I don't actually doubt your success as it certainaly may be true but in other threads you're happy to knock the success of the players and a coach(which can seem hypocritical which 95% of people are guilty of though) of calling them donkey's when they have obviously been succesfull to even be a professional football player, which is much harder and a smaller world.

I agree i've noticed a habit in NZ to bring down those who are successful, im told its called Tall Poppy or whatever here, when I've visted my father they call it Jantelagen or Jante's law or somwthing.
But I think this happens everywhere such at the UK and parts of AU but they just call it jealously or envy. But on the whole I feel NZ's mistrust lies with big business, and most people I've met are happy to support succesful local businesses.

I'm half kiwi,  too and find myself doing it at times and being disgusted at myself later beacuse I do try to maintain the mantra the hard work = deserved success but it can all be taken away so easily. A little modesty goes along way just in case, but I agree to be succesful you do need a degree of confidence and beilef in your own choices, which is obvious in the way you carry yourself.

I'd hazard a guess (oooh more speculation) Terry S is more successful than you but he doesnt come on here knocking who you choose to run your businessess when you started laying into Ricki (which everyone has been guilty of) who despite some frustrations this year. Its well known the quality on any forum on the internet can be terrible. Same sh*t happens on 442 which is an aussie forum.


Back on transfers, I agree we need some new blood. I'm interested to see how sydney's new striker goes as i I am obviously biased in my opinion that there is alot of talent over in that area. His strike rate is smeltz like with a bit of pace and height. Scored against barca apparently haha.
