a brief summary of what gartside said:

the perdeson tranfer was basically a kick up the *** to henrik-either start scoring or we will sell you-what happened on saturday? he went off after his new contract and I think they were worried about another ricketts'

 

the otehr players-cesar and laville look like they are going, hierro will go in summer anyway

 

debt-is decreasing and is manageable

 

players-diouf signing is just down to how much liverpool want (if anything)-sam ahs bid for 2 keepers and is after other players

bulykin-they decided he was crap AND he has links to russian mafia! a deal had been agreed but something fell through at bulykin's end is the official line

ashton-sam did not rate him as a player better than davies or diouf and teh club feels we are going for a better class of player than ashton-also when stelios named was mentioned gartside said he is poor and doesn;t know why we play him!!! also he wants nolan to be captain

 

cardiff-apologised again and said Sam is after FA cup this year

 

also I asked who would have replaced sam if he had gone to newcastle-guess the answer to this one-it;s not an abvious choice though

 

FA council-doesn;t like rupert Lowe or david dein or peter kenyon-thinks FA is badly run and states that the professional game has no influence because it is the amateur game officials that have the most say in the FA! bolton or any premier league club has no chance of winning a vote because amateurs and lower league clubs hate bigger clubs and will always vote against them

 

that was about it

he talked liek a fan and was very honest and he came across as a good bloke

 

gartside stated he came as a fan and as a chairman

lets face it stelios ain't good enough and as a fan he knows that-i haven't lied he was just very honest in his opinion-stelios nmay have won things in greece and euro 2004 but in my opinion (and most people's at the meeting) he is poor and not worthy of even a place in teh reserves on his past few performances

the replacement was actually going to be GARY MEGSON!!!!-interesting i thought

gartside has been in the lion of vienna a few times, and he does come across as more of a fan than a chairman.

 

he does say all the thiings the fans think, and is not ashamed to tell us what he thinks of players, like when he said jardel was a fat useless git and the worst business sam had ever done, a month afetr we signed him! but is this him tryin to get fans on his side?

My only beef with him is the lack of transparency on the cash front. One minute we had funds after finishing 8th last season, Coca cup final, 4th in October this time round, and the next minute, we're talking about short-term loan deals again like we've just come up from the Championship. Expecting Sam to work his magic year in year out.

 

At our current rate of progress, there's no reason to complain. But if Sam leaves because we lack ambition to spend a bit more than a non-football business should, we'll face a much bigger problem than losing a few quid on an untested Premier League player.

If I ever see him in the East Lower I'll buy him a pint!!

 

Think Gartside has done a good job in keeping 'BIG SAM' happy and the 10 year contract is a brilliant piece of business!! :D/

 

One thing I still can't forgive him for is why he never sacked his commercial manager for the Cardiff fcuk up, if he's a true fan he'd have got rid long ago!!

Am I th eonly one who realises there is money available, we just dont want to spend it for the sake of spending it.

 

I bet we buy someone for over a million before the windows shuts.

Garrp, where did you get your info from, i attended the L/whites meeting last night in the Greaves Hotel, and i cant recall a snivelling little wretch cowering in the corner.

Sorry,yer bang on EG, went a bit over the top.

Actually, I meant Garrp was out of order, but if you want chastising too then I'm happy to oblige

 

 

PS did Gartside say anything about suntan Brown

when we got in the hotel, we had blank pieces of paper .to vent our anger in ink to our chairman, not one question we put down was answered.So i asked him verbally. Are yer signing SPIT THE DOG or what? ANSWER-----Dont Know.
