But Mr. Green, presumably one of your dodgy geezers, was given the gig ahead of others offering more, and was approved by RFL as a fit and proper person to run it. I didn't pick him. "We" didn't pick him. The then administrator and the RFL picked him.
"We" can't get our own house in order. "We", the poor old fans (who stump up and stump up, including a one-off £1/2m, (and I recognize that included plenty from fans of the game as well as fans of the Bulls) have no say, no say at all, in who runs the club or who buys the club.
And, we have to keep moving house. After each administration there's a new house. What the fsck can I, as a fan, do to keep that house in order? If you accept that the answer is "nothing" then why do you keep having a go at the fans? When you say "we" you (obviously) include yourself, so give me an example of what YOU have ever done to "put our house in order"? Nothing! Not because you might not like to, but because you are as powerless as I am to do anything about any of it. So pack it in with the "we", will you?
To say "we" haven't "learned our lessons" is to talk oblique nonsense. If one owner came close to bust but salvaged it, and stayed in charge, then you might at least say he failed to learn the lesson if it went tits. But that's not the case. There has been no continuity between owners, each new owner has been a brand new entity.
The fact is, the succession of major financial fsckups is down to the succession of owners who let it happen on their watch. The fans have gone above and beyond on each occasion but they have no say, no control and so no responsibility. So "we" haven't failed at all.

I never said that the fans had failed. In fact, I did state that "we, as a club".
Making things up again FA? Still, you have proven my original point. Well done.
We can have a separate FA Vs ME thread like the old FA Vs Martin thread.
