Give it to Ron Posted 20 January, 2014 Author Share Posted 20 January, 2014 Are you ok? You are not near a bridge or anything, you should be playing bridge, have you taken a knock? Nowhere near Brighton, above my level just CSYL now - took a whack in training last week but thats age rather than ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Sanchez Posted 20 January, 2014 Share Posted 20 January, 2014 I do love the way that people, who don't know the owner, seem to know what she will be doing in the near future. Who knows, maybe she wants to have a break from the constraints of her somewhat reclusive upbringing and have some fun. Maybe she doesn't want to be considered ML's daughter who took over reluctantly and didn't want to carry on so flogged it off, but rather leave her own mark. Maybe this, maybe that, maybe t'other. Who knows (apart from those who impart their wisdom on the rest of us)? I agree with this but then there would be no forum as opinion on here is based upon gut feeling as opposed to actual knowledge, hence such differing views.

Wade Garrett Posted 20 January, 2014 Share Posted 20 January, 2014 What is the point of having someone on ignore when he is continually quoted. Mods - is it possible that ignore can mean ignore? Can you tweak the site, I am getting so sick of alpine and dune/Barry that I'll just have to leave the forum altogether, which would be a shame.

alpine_saint Posted 20 January, 2014 Share Posted 20 January, 2014 It really hacks me off people quoting dune and the other negative Pratt . Please stop quoting them for my healths sake I think our new owner us going to be part of our club for many years to come . Nothing is forever but I really believe we have a very bright future under her tenure and leadership. She is displaying g the same excellent-qualities of her late father .

Would you not agree that John Williams seems like a good choice for example? Jesus I dont know where to start with this.... Why does being stinking rich and having very expensive laywers qualify you to choose a top-performing football club CEO ?

As for John Williams, I would have thought he'd be too busy scoring the soundtrack to the next Star Wars movie to be able to run SFC effectively. The way the Liebherr family appears to do business gives me confidence that she will do things properly and not appoint any old idiot. This is further backed up by the names that have appeared in the press such as John Williams who many seem to feel would be an excellent choice.

Well, if that were genuinely the reason then fair enough. So often though these things are lost in chinese whispers. Was it cortese ? Or was she sacked by someone else ? Was it because she didnt get his coat quickly enough or was she incompetant and this was the last straw ? Ive heard it all before. Someone says mr X was sacked for not wearing his boots or something to work when in reality he was asked on several occasions to wear suitable gear etc and was given multiple chances that he actualky fails to mention to his colleagues.
