Hope he's ok

I've always said gartside has done a good job regardless of his health - despite our current league position look at what our club has now and what it had 15-20 years ago it's night and day - he gets no credit and all the shite it's nonsense he's made mistakes yea but on balance done a very good job

I'm sorry but I'm not having history re wrote to suit the pro Gartside/Davies agenda. We moved to the Reebok before him, Rioch and Todd era had fuck all to do with him as Bowtun Baked pointed out. Depending on who you believe he had less to do than some would have you believe, with the best appointment of all either. Think you could also do with reading that article posted earlier about our debt, not so clear cut praising Gartside/Davies to the heavens.They just seem to have been postponing the inevitable since relegation while our esteemed chairman made bad decision after bad decision. Judge him over his full tenure by all means.

Ultimately though Casino is right, there is not enough coming in to cover the outgoings. A new plan is needed and that means new owners PDQ and things getting worse while we shed further costs. Hopefully we can then begin to climb back to the Championship in a few years.

 

PS Got called a ball bag not so long ago for comparing our current position to the 80's. They were right, I was wrong. Far worse now.

He's been chairman for arguably the clubs best period and thanks to eddies cash not despite it

Surely it is possible to wish PG a return to good health and still think the job he has done/been asked to has put the club in a real fucking mess as of today.

 

He gets all the credit in the world for the good times but he is equally responsible for where we are today.

 

Ultimately that is all about a football clubs history and really not as important as his health.

An esteemed former poster read this and his response was "cunt"

Jesus!! His illness and his abilities as chairman are two completely different things

 

He's been seriously ill. As a human being I wish him well. He's not fiddled any kids, supported terrorism or kicked an animal to death so I hope he recovers and lives a long life

 

As a chairman of our club he has to be called into question.....perhaps

 

Give the bloke (not the chairman) a break ffs

Well said Manc

I've no great knowledge of what PG's job actually involves. Financially, budgets will be set, and much of that dictated by Eddie's involvement. We invested off the pitch to broaden income streams and in academy. Apart from Megson, his managerial appointments were broadly welcomed, and it's unlikely that they were made solely by him. Yes as a chairman he ultimately carries the can and we can look back with hindsight and be critical, he's undoubtedly made mistakes, but some of the personal vilification is unbelievable.

 

I remember an interview he gave after BSA left, and his comment about losing a manager and a mate. He felt it personally and I'm sure it's a situation that still wrankles with him. At the time this was supposedly because he wouldn't give any more cash to sign players. Many on here were accepting of that decision, yet he seems to be continually castigated for causing our current financial plight.

Few people are in a position to genuinely make an informed judgement on his performance, it's unfortunate that passion for the football team leads to such extreme views and comments

Every time people slag PG off and say he doesn't care about the club - I like to remind them of this photo.....

Whoah - what have I done now? :-)

Whoah - what have I done now? :-)

And we have a third

 

Waffer Cup 07

 

 

And basically anyone who is up PG's arse is in the club

 

I hope he gets better but isn't our Chairman so not sure where that puts me

You wouldn't be slagging off Gartside if Davies was still bankrolling us to the extent he did a few years ago. So whose to blame for our demise.

Who recruited the succession of failing Managers then?

he needs to get a grip or it'll be making him ill

No one employs a manager knowing he is going to fail. All of the appointments had their merits at the time..hindsight is a wonderful thing

I never said he did it maliciously

 

Anyway, I reckon we concentrate on looking forward

 

We can continue the PG debate if:

 

1) he gets better (I sincerely hope he does)

2) whomever we sell to, want to keep him on as Chair

 

Til then why not crack on with a bit of positivity

I think that's what the minority on here were doing but getting slagged off.

Miraculous recovery or bad journalism?
