Value for Money?

I've had a lot of sympathy for you in the past when you've been attacked on here because of what you do for a living. However, on threads like this, you come across as a bit of a clever dick, who has access to info that the rest of us don't. You don't need to make specific reference to your job, everybody knows, from previous postings.

If you really know what Stearman cost and you know that because of your job, keep it to yourself. If you know it because you're a fan with a mate in the know and you're not betraying a confidence, why not share it?

Thanks for the input.
 

Wrong. No I don’t



So did I, apparently it’s a place for some Blades to discuss things and not others



What reference have I made to my employment exactly?

Lets start with your constant references to copyright when Stir articles have been posted. You've lectured Linz in the past on this. I don't see any other Blade on this forum making reference to their employment when they post threads, you do. When comments have been made about your employer you have responded on his behalf. The impression is given you defend your employer first and the Blades come second. Its not for me to say what you can and can't discuss but when challenged you revert to type avoiding the question and making crass comments about internet trolls.

You've already told us the figures we've been quoting are 2 to 3 times higher in value. Who's breaching confidence now? You won't listen but my advice to you is post as a Blade first and put your association with the Stir on the back burner.

At least you got one thing right. :fattwat:
 
..erm, aren’t we 50% foreign owned?

That was my point. I can't see why fans get excited about 'foreign investment', it's so common now it cancels each other out. Even Manchester City got it wrong at first by choosing Thaksin Shinawatra - a bloke so corrupt that the 'powers-that-be' in English football deemed him a 'fit and proper person' to take control of Manchester City. And there we have one of the appeals to foreign owners about English football. Not only have English clubs got a customer base that is loyal to the point of stupidity, but foreign owners know that they can run rings round the old duffers and incompetents who 'run' our game. Throw in blatant money-laundering (where 90% of transfer fees are 'undisclosed') and you can see the attraction.

Barnsley will learn that there's really nothing to get excited about with this takeover. If it works, Wednesday will be the ones in this area that will suffer, having wasted millions without any end result. Sometimes it works, other times - like Hull and Cardiff (who have only been saved by Warnock) - it doesn't.

May I advise caution and restraint on social media. I don't know who you are and what your job is but your attitude on this thread is poor and serves no useful purpose. You will always easily be able to wind fans up if that amuses you, but if you do have a professional income to protect then just maybe silly spats wil endanger it.

If you do have privileged information then just sit on it and respect your contacts.. If you don't then you are just a WUM.

Woodwardfan , surely that is a wind up?

Even an apparently innocent and well meaning poster like yourself, can't remotely believe that telling others how to behave will end well.

your attitude on this thread is poor and serves no useful purpose.

..and a lecture, however well intentioned, does not usually go down well.

No wonder you always get sharks circling you, if you always slash your own arteries before you enter the water.

I write what I think if I have time and think it's relevant.

Call it a lecture, Danny 'likes' that, I'd call it advice and a big prod for a WUM as I see him on this thread which I originated and took an interest in it.
 
Sigh........


Don't sigh Coco. This is not a popularity contest nor is there enough time or any opportunity to finesse or tread on eggshells around the 'sharks', they are what they are and would love to scare away members who are not on their level.

As for Danny, I think he has a lot to offer the forum and just tried to help him a bit with a neutral view.
 
Is it a popularity contest when you point out your 63 likes then?


Can't remember the context, I think someone questioned the quality of the o.p. Such a number of 'likes' reflects a post which strikes a chord with a wide cross section of members. Shame the vulgar morons diverted the thread. as they do.

The 63 'likes' is a message to them from Blades outside their little gang of vulgar, uncouth morons. Just read some of the debauchery on a simple thread about the club. I'm no prude but schoolyard naughtiness out of the mouths of adults is so pathetic. Shouldn't be allowed on here. Youngsters read this forum.

Your wasting your time with him as I was last night. The response above just confirms your last sentence.

At least you and your mate tried, Colin, and you won’t have it on your conscience. Happy Christmas
 
And the ops question was, which signing this summer followed by a list of players has offered value for money. Sometimes I feel I over value your intelligence.


Actually my o.p. referred to them as a group. as a summer batch of recruits.

Personally I am slightly disappointed with the 2017 recruits as compared to 2016 and hope Mitchell can do better this JTW. I do appreciate however that some players ha ve had limited opportunity and indeed are new to playing for a 'big club' at this level too.

Fixed that for you chief. Thanks for the kind words and interest as ever

Local journalists have been wrong about many facts to do with wages and fees.

That comment has come from the top of the club, who I would believe over a Star journalist every day.

You don't post as a Blade as much as you protest.

That’s your prerogative. And I’m only 141 posts behind you now (as you probably know, taking such a keen interest in me) :rolleyes:

Don't flatter yourself Danny.

I can just see through at least some of your purpose on here, if others can't or aren't bothered.

Feel free to keep telling posters you know they're wrong, or you know more than them though, but aren't at liberty to elaborate.

Carries much gravitas and purpose, and really gets to the facts.
 
Imagine the Wednesday equivalent of this thread with the likes of Rhodes etc. We have done GREAT BUSINESS. Plucking players for lower leagues is always going to be a risk and Wilder probably knew that it would be a 50:50 success rate. We haven't seriously overpaid for any of them and they'll all be worth something if they don't come off.

You've done a sterling job, detective. No unsolved murders you can lend your talents to?
