Oh? Really?
You must have a much longer and more intimate knowledge of our history than I.
Unless you're just making it up, of course...!
Yeah well the memory can be an asset or an enemy depending on the day I guess.
But, from memory, I can only think of one time that things were even remotely similar and that was 89 when the like of Vautin, Thompson and others were shown the door after loyal service to the club. It was also the way Doug Daley went to training one day and said anyone who wants to go can.... and they did.
I'll exclude the northern eagles days that were brought on by things largely out of the clubs control.
So maybe I'm making it up that players like Ballin, gutho, and now Ferris are shown the door despite being under contract and that we recruit players of less ability.
Then there's Tooves and Donny Singe.
Figments of my imagination.
What I'm not making up is the amusement at the peeps who are so trippily positive on this thread yet negative on others.
Like it or not it's a franchise that ceased to become a club when the penns restructured it.
But I've always thought I followed, for most of my life, something much more than a piece of merchandise.
Anyway probably best discussed over a beer at the leagues club.......
Oh wait....
