Perhaps better only to reply to ones that you’re happy to give a reasonable response to?
The crayon analogy and others are only going to incite more bickering, which I think we all agree, the board is better for not having.

Re: ALK Capital or Farnell/Elkashashy takeover
so why you keep commenting on anything to do with the takeover and football finances is beyond my comprehension. FFS you make it hard to be civil at times!

Re: Did anyone book a holiday after the latest update?
We’ve bought flights for a pre-planned holiday in September. We’d held off until the announcement - time will tell if buying them quickly after the announcement was a good idea or not.
We’ll probably book a few UK trips and maybe a Euro city break but can’t see us planning much else this year.

On MOTD though, I think he’d half decent and comes across as a decent bloke.
