Rather strange Buck’s should go down the road of mentioning Gurnys ” state of mind “, we all know how sensitive Buck’s is when his ” state of mind ” is occasionally mentioned in passing, indeed he once linked the reference to abuse as I recall. The old pot and kettle once more from Buck’s, was it ever thus.

No that wasn’t the point being made, everything is a level of expectation based on the facilities in place but some players of a certain standard should be produced over time to compete relatively competently at the required standard. Nobody mentioned producing the type of player you stated on a small budget, you missed the point I believe.

What else is new? He will say that’s a personal insult but it’s more a personal assessment.

Well of course they do they are funded by billionaires, it’s how the world operates under the capitalist system but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s affordable for them long term and they have assets plus resources to cover their arse. It ain’t rocket science and is not a comparison for Scunnys situation which is based on peanuts but in the climate the Iron operate in it should still produce results if run correctly. It all comes back to the top being rotten, you can question the ethics or morals of the Man City ownership but when it comes to business acumen and the financial muscle to back it up, Man City’s leadership at the top is not rotten, ours is, that’s the difference ultimately.

You would think climate change would scare Buck’s, after all a straw man fears too much heat.

[Iron-awe]

Yes it was, Uncle Russ wasn’t it 🤔

It’s because football is a business and their owners have embraced that, yes it goes against the traditional grain but times have moved on and football isn’t immune from big business and greed, it is what it is. Manchester City are on the way to being a mega global brand and having a foothold in other countries with a similar footprint to their English set-up is the result. Don’t see why it bothers you unless your a frustrated Man U fan who hates the competition, get used to it because it’s not going away and since the Premier League was formed it’s unfortunately what it’s all about these days. Money money money, Abba warned us years ago but we ignored them and the money men took our beautiful game away and made it theirs, clubs like us are still important locally but that’s about it and if Scunthorpe United go bang tomorrow it will barely make a national headline and then only for a day or so.

He’s trying to argue that only 7 temperature records this summer statistically different from previous, and these were near air bases, therefore no climate change. Which is an erroneous way of looking at it.

It’s a totally brainless way of looking at it.

[Iron-awe]

The difference is investment that pays long term, I appreciate you need the big bucks but football sold itself off a long time ago.

It really is like drawing teeth try to explain common sense to BS, thats the old man effect i guess.

How much did each club spend to produce their one player?

Whatever it was is nothing in comparison to the transfer fee either club would receive for either player if they were sold, plus the wealth they will bring into the club for winning trophies or selling merchandize will swallow up their cost as an academy player easily.

Well the previous record temperature was set in a botanic garden in the middle of Cambridge, a very nice garden too, my wife and I were strolling around it this March, not a jet or piece of red hot tarmac in sight. Not really sure what Buck’s is banging on about here, neither does he I suspect, more about not losing face in the climate discussion perhaps.

Another half decent one doing the same, from the same city but plays for the better club compared to Rashford.

[Iron-awe]

It’s the same scenario though cass repeated over several seasons with different squads, it cant always be down to those things you list, it’s happened too regular over that time period. When a club is successful how many times is it said it’s because everybody at the club is pulling together in the same direction, yes it’s a bit cliched but lets be right, we are rotten from the top down. You can change coaches, which we have, we can change managers, which we have and we can change players again which we have but the one thing we have not changed since things went wrong is the owner. I repeat for the ones with a short memory, nothing will change long term in our direction as a football club till the current owner is gone, end of.

I heard he was struggling with a turtles head between his arse cheeks, so probably will fail a fitness test.

As usual BS you miss the bigger picture and concentrate on attacking the less fortunate, was it ever thus. Thankfully the modern generation have a different way of thinking then yours, time moves on for everyone.

BS going down the ” blame the boat people route “, unbelievable. Have you ever considered writing for the Daily Mail BS 🤔

[Iron-awe]

Blunt, similar sounding name to what the majority of Iron fans think about the owner. That’s probably as close to the truth as we are right now.

[Iron-awe]

If you want parties to work together then perhaps a change in the voting system would address that, if you had a permanently hung parliament then something would have to give eventually. The problem is political parties have their own agenda and will not change from there stance or their ideology unless pushed into a desperate corner through some stupid action in government that has caused a near disaster. Very sad, human nature possibly the ruination of most things in life that go tits up.

Well that doesn’t apply anymore seeing as his title is purely owner, when he was chairman we were both promoted and relegated.

I wish they would give Butterfield the ball in midfield more often, then get into a little bit of space upfield or out wide to receive the ball from him. He showed with the delivery against Wrexham for Rowes goal what a good passer of a football he is but he rarely gets chance to show it when we keep hoofing it aimlessly into channels time after time.

That was always the question to alcy but his disdain for the Labour Party was more important then the lack of help he was receiving from the state under the Tories, a truly strange one. Cutting off your nose to spite your face comes to mind.

So would you class bill as a fundamentalist then Siderite?
