Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Briatore?

I'll just briefly repeat what I said on the other thread -- the statement may all be true; or it might all be spin.

I don't know -- but nor do any of you, really.
That's my point -- some people have latched onto it as though it's gospel truth -- I'm just saying we need to be a bit careful here.
If it's true and genuine and from the heart -- great.
If it's not -- don't be taken in.

The board have never really been transparent with us, and we are still the fans who FB said he didn't care for -- the man who walks up and just pays £20 to see the game -- I'd love to believe the sincerity of the statement, but those words won't go out of my head.

So just be careful.

I too appreciate debate.

I don't really agree with the article, but I can see where he is coming from.

Remember folks these guys have never run a football club before and if Bernie Ecclestone was at Arsenal, they wouldn't give him grief. They will make mistakes along the way

its a 4 year plan, they wanted success this year, but in the scheme of things with one full season under there belts, we have another 3 to go.

People are making valid points - and its good to debate them IMHO.

What I do love is all those negative people on other boards who disappear after a win! They love being vocal and then dont even comment on a win!!

(LFW is the worst for that by a long way.)

Some are only happy when moaning it seems.

Like I said though, tis good to debate these things!

Talking of LFW you paid your debt yet?

It is possible to be committed to a hobby, surely?

In fact, generally speaking people tend to be committed to a hobby to a far greater degree, than to something they make money at, ie just their job.

Very good point, very well made.

2 to go - they've been here for nearly 2 seasons.
