    Haven't you just said exactly what @Fordy117@Fordy117 has been saying for months and what he's been chastised for?

    Excellent post above from @bantam2708@bantam2708. We need and haven't had a proper plan in place since Lawn and Rhodes decided they couldn't afford to take us forward and would listen to reasonable offers. At that point why would they be interested in looking beyond the sale?
    Now we find ourselves in a similar position with Rhodes who is short term and an owner looking to sell at the right price.

    As for McCall, the best chance he'd have would be to form a syndicate and buy the club. Im sure there's plenty of people out there who would jump at the chance of being involved if he was heading up the club. He could then oversee his and our vision from the top and bring in a structure and manager to suit.

    Interesting post. Not sure that McCall is that rich?

    think he is more suggesting SM as a figure head running it for a consortium

    But isn't that the point, at that level when you have so many employees you need to split the work out, which is what they do in the premiere league. At our level we can neither justify or afford the expense . That is what JR should be doing anyway. Setting out a plan and recruiting the right management to sustain that plan.

    If a tree falls and no one hears is, does it make a sound?

    If a post is true, but no one can read it, does it matter?

    Is this from Zen and the Art of Supporting City?:unsure:

    Perhaps a little introspective thought?

    Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and without desire. The reality of your own nature should determine the speed. If you become restless, speed up. If you become winded, slow down. You climb the mountain in an equilibrium between restlessness and exhaustion. Then, when you're no longer thinking ahead, each footstep isn't just a means to an end but a unique event in itself....To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountains which sustain life, not the top.

    It's from Zen and the Tranquil Art of NOT USING BLUE FONT FFS!

    Have you read it?

    I've just tried light for the first time. Absolutely grim colour. Why crème instead of white? :joy: Looks the same colour of an old plastic bath.

    I posted it to highlight my replies to Fordy's individual comment, never thought of posters using the dark theme.
    Just changed the theme to dark and I can see why the comment was made, well you learn something every day.
    PS that dark theme could just tempt me for a while.

    I prefer dark, but I couldn’t read the blue. You could try bold @Bronco@Bronco for your reply’s?

    And the moral of this story; if you want to keep something hidden from those on the dark side, use the blue font.

    Surely you're not implying Mr Ford is a closet Leeds supporter :unsure: ?.

    Change to the light theme read my reply then return to your dark theme ;).
    I was not aware blue was as almost unreadable in the dark them.
    Maybe I should try a pastel pink which can be read in both light & dark themes.
