That is the most embarrassed I have been at a football match since I threw up on the pitch pre-game at Elm Park. I was sat relatively near the Leeds supporters at the game where the music video made its debut, some of them were in hysterics.

Could have at least done it in front of a Rotherham or something so there would be less fans to rip the shit out of us.

YorkshireRoyal99 if he can just go a way to help reduce the clubs level of debt, try and get us on a more stable footing where the club can be more sustainable and not be so reliant on it's owner and leave the football people to make the football decisions, then that's the best we can hope for.


Unfortunately there is nothing about Storey that suggests that any of this would happen.

I remember my mates ripping the piss out of me for days over it. I think I had to pretend I'd converted to supporting Swindon to get out of it.

Does Storey realise he'll get the rights to this genius piece of art?

karbota Well, at least he is British, but rather concerned he looks like a Leftie Remoaner and went to Tiffin Boys School FFS.

But Job half done now let us go for Parky!


Parky at least has decent experience in the league we're in. Something none of our last 6 managers have had

I think the Thais served a purpose. They clearly didn't have nearly enough money to take the club forward though.

I think there is a bit of RTG's with the Thais, because they weren't Anton or Dai

They didn't have enough money to get us consistently competing for promotion. Perhaps if expectations were more realistic they could have got us onto sustainable footing as a mid table club, with an outside chance of making the play offs.

Mid Sussex Royal
Elm Park Kid James Earnshaw now saying (what we're all assuming) that his understanding is that Storey will never pass the fit and proper persons test.

You might ask why Dai would go this far if that was such an inevitability . . . . . but history suggests that Dai is in fact a moron. And I don't throw that term around lightly. He simply doesn't understand English football or how things works.


Given his net worth is circa £30m, its likely his stake is less than 25% as part of a consortium so he won't need to pass any EFL tests.


When he tried to sponsor the F1 team didn't they find that he basically only had £500 in the bank?

He is one of those shysters who spends other people's money isn't he? He is just a face.

Saved us from HMRC and Vibrac. Started plans for the longer term future in Bearwood and the (failed) commercial development. Were getting the finances on track to cope with loss of parachute payments.

Really the only thing they did actively wrong was sell to Dai.

Is there any sort of covenant on Bearwood that says it has to remain a sporting amenity?

Just thinking that the land Bearwood sits on could be prime for building houses on in the not too distant future IF an unscrupulous owner of the club who didn't give a crap about us, owned that real estate...........................

Funny in all the wrong ways.

But you're right the Thais weren't that bad at all really, certainly compared to the other jokers.

Pretty sure they bailed when they realised they couldn't really afford to run a football club.

They always had eyes on the land deal but seemed to bottle it when it became evident that to realise that they would have to bankroll the football club for the next decade.

Don't get me wrong, they were what we needed at the time and deserve credit for not being completely shit at running a football club.
