Popey. I supported the team and the owner. What is the problem with that?
I will support the team and the new owner next season too.
Fawaz made many mistakes. He was clearly out of his depth, but people on Vital had it in for him before he took over. Perhaps promises made by the other bidder had something to do with it?
I am a positive optimistic person Popey. You should try it some time especially in front of your students.
"....people on Vital had it in for him before he took over."
That is a monstrous lie!
People started to question him when he blurted out the "Iconic" bollox and then again after Pizzagate; what started off as a trickle then turned into a deluge after sacking O Driscoll and the McLeish fiasco.
The whole pantomime was exacerbated by certain people that you know well spouting fanciful proclamations that have turned out to be fairy tales.
How many times has Dan, for example, claimed Fawaz saved us from administration, even though the claim has not one ounce of fact?
Rather than blame people on here who have turned out to be right, why not spend some time questioning your friends and ask them why they were so wrong?
No that is actually not true
The shenanigans started before the take over was complete all the arguing about rivals bids and MA and his crew
Don't start being revisionists about this some of us actually have memories
I am not being revisionist; I remember the events quite clearly.
Even the rubbish about rival bids; I remember having a conversation with one individual who told me that all parties had to make sealed bids and that he knew the details of the bids.
How the fook are you supposed to take rubbish like that seriously?
I'm not taking it seriously but it is a FACT that the demonisation started before the the take over was even close to being completed
If you cannot remember then I am not going to be able to get you to believe it
Absolute rubbish
I was a lurker who joined just a day or two before Fawaz bought the club. It was actually fury at the utter bollocks Jom was spouting and how he was attacking others than prompted me to join.
Until Fawaz posted that photo of him with his daughter in a forest shirt, no one had a fooking clue who he was. We didn't know much after either. To be honest, Kuwaitis did not feature that much in the discussions at all.
There was no reason to be opposed to the Hawawis because we knew sod all about them.
First warning signs were the underwhelming press conference and iconic manager rubbish.
Next was pizzagate
Then Fawaz took over and the club fell out of the crazy tree and hit every branch on the way down.
I even remember people like you claiming it was all Omar' s fault and Fawaz would sort it out :19:
