When will people get over sod??? Jesus Christ! Yes he was a very good manager but he left almost a year ago, yet people like bob and Chris still talk about him on a daily basis.FFs move on, he's gone, If Saunders left tomorrow they'd still not be happy with whoever takes over, pathetic.One point, Saunders did have the final decision on players, but he had a choice of f all so it's hardly the same as buying his own players is it.Just support the club and see what he does, the behaviour of some of you is ridiculous and is far far from the behaviour of a football supporter,,
The only thing I struggled to get my head round - and still do - is how so many people (even Steve Claridge) predicted how it would end, but this kind of talk didn't make them true Rovers fans in some people's eyes: That was what caused the split in my eyes. It reached a point where Rovers fans would rather try to silence their own kind under some illusion that if the 'negative' talk continued then chaos would descend rather than taking on board the views and concerns that other people had. This, all on a forum provided by the VSC, pick up a programme from 2006 and before and chances are it will say on the front "Provided by the Viking Supporters Co-perative" with a slogan "By the fans, For the fans". Yet here we were where the forum, which was most people's first choice to get out their thoughts was descending into an environment where only positive posts were appreciated, and anything otherwise was branded as 'drivel' and not from someone 'loyal', this wasn't by the VSC in particular but mainly the forum users.

Can I just throw something else in the mix for a moment. How many clubs that have power battles in the boardroom are successful clubs?? In my opinion all the crap and falling out will continue until what is going on in the upper reaches of this club get sorted. Look at the facts:SOD staysSOD goesThe experiment startsMembers of the board leaveWe get relegatedThe experiment finishes?Members of the board return.It doesn't matter whose managing the club, the bloody boardroom needs to get it's act together and pull in one direction and then we'll all be able to do the same!!

Extremely sensible post Mr Croft. Can't argue with any of that. Nor Rios's either. I suppose the bottom line, for me, is that I am soooo bloody disappointed with the strife in the boardroom, the abandoning of the values we used to have and the way things were done. It's taken away the belief, the pride, the passion I used to have. And that hurts. A lot. Just once, in 50 years, we had a club we could all be proud of. But we abandoned everything that gave us that pride. It would have been so easy to have got rid of SOD in a civilised manner.BobG
You are missing the point/s completely Norfolk, I don't believe that you're that daft. We chucked away 10 years of growth, reputation away and you think it's irrelevant ?

Growth what f***ing growth?We had no youth team / reserve team?Paying several million over the t/o generated through ST sales/ ticket?The business model was a bloody shambles!What would you have done?Doing what we are doing now and get some f***ing structure!

Saunders, or whether we have a fookin Reserve team or buy a young'un from Bradford.That bloody 'experiment' has managed to split our fanbase right through the middle, allowed folk to question JR and basically made us the 'laughing stock' of English football.Btw when you start slagging off folk who helped to save this club from extinction i.e. BobG and pretending we have a structure that we obviously don't have and support a manager that quite frankly hasn't got a clue I then have to doubt not whether you are intelligent but whether you are looking at the wider picture.

Imo it wasn't.However to learn from the mistake , we have to accept it was without need for apologies and get on with the job in hand.Their has been nothing so far to demonstrate to me that we are building a sound structure. If I've missed something in more than just one signing of a youngster from Bradford then please enlighten me.
How do you know we haven't learnt from our mistakes? Do you attend board meetings? What do you require to happen that will demonstrate to you we are building a sound structure?The fan base is split because some people can understand John and the board were doing what they thought was right, while others want to continue to slate him for it.I'm sure he regrets things but Jesus its in the past, gone should be forgotten but day in day out people are still going on about it.We should be looking forwards now not continually whining about the past
Time to admit defeat. I'm afraid you are on your own Dickos. As far as I am concerned the lunatics really have taken over the asylum.It's time to consign this forum to the bin for me.It's been fun but some people seem to want to remain buried in the past.Goodbye all.

I suspect this may be like the time Kevin (from Kev and Perry go large) ran away from home, only to just sit in the bush in his back garden till his mum called him in.If i'm wrong and you have actually left the forum though, then I find your posts laughable when you slag other uses off for not given Saunders a chance, and for them being unfair on him, when you was the exact same with SO'D. What a model supporter you are
