Latest Takeover Rumour. The Moores / Noell one

[Kaiser Soysauce]

Apologies for having an opinion Doctor Abel - I'll have to bow down to your PhD in psychology on this one. Hopefully your dissertation was on the psychology of football supporters and you can point us all to it to better educate ourselves.

Pointing out the FACT that many people live their lives via "routine" does not sugest any mental deficiency (quite a leap by you) - it is simply a case of they have a routine - end of. My father in law is a yorkshire man - suggest to him that he has a curry on a Sunday for a change from a roast and you would think I'd asked him to amputate his legs.

My comment was based on a narrow aspect of a much wider debate and was a generalist comment which offered an opinion as why some people may react in the way that they had or may in the future. Not an attempt to Pschologically profile anyone (half-assed or otherwise).

I decided in my opionion (many years ago) that Goodison is no longer fit for purpose and that something needs to be done about it. If the best way to achieve the desired endstate is a move then so be it - it will be a sad day and I will miss the place - but I will move on and make the most of any new home (if it happens).

Because that is my opinion does not mean that I am blinkered to the risks presented by a change of ownership or that I have decided that means the future is rosey. Because I like you have no idea if it will happen and what it means for the future if it does happen. Not being blessed with crystal balls I simply cant tell.

However - Not all change is good in the same way that not all change is bad - but it sometimes needs to embraced even if it is someway forced upon you. Like I've stated on GOT before - if you are so against change then you would still be living in a cave and crapping in the woods (maybe you do - I dont know).

Your leap that because I opined that a move may be positive must mean that I am naive and would fall for a whole myriad of scams is unfounded so don't worry about that aspect - the MSc that I'm currently studying is (by chance) currently looking at a number of aspects of social sciences and the interaction with technology and social media. I'm alive to the complexity of those sort of issues and wont be sending my life savings off to Eastern Europe or Africa any time soon.

The Msc suggests you're intelligent. The lack of trust in Nigerian sca....erm I mean "opportunities" leaves me believing you're not that intelligent .

I disagree, the access to that stadium site was terrible. Anyone who has ever been to Sunderland or Middlesbrough will tell you, it takes ages to get there on a one track road and then the traffic at the end is appalling.

It's OK mate, Bill will be gone soon, no need to defend his foul ups.

I think The lack of atmosphere is anxiety,due to our problems in defence,if Howard is kept out of the team,the atmosphere should improve IMO

haha.... poor old Howard , gets the blame for everything
move on......

right, there's no actual reason or historical precedent that would suggest grounds for skepticism. clearly, mental deficiency is the only possible reason why anyone could still have reservations. it logically follows that everything is going to be wonderful forever.

if we're going to create half-assed psychological profiles for each other, how about this: the kind of people who have already decided, based on very limited information, that new ownership will definitely, unambiguously, 100%, only be an entirely good thing are subprime mortage-holding pyramid-scheme fodder, but its okay, cause a nigerian prince will in touch any day now to sort things...

LOL.
What?!

I would be very surprised you go the game mate, from where I sit we are just waiting for him to make a balls up,hence the nervousness.

That and his outbursts at the fans behind him. Proper sarcastic gestures.

Does anyone genuinely believe this will happen?

For some Goodison is far more than a corrugated cowshed. As a minimum if you just removed the pillars it's still a great ground in its own right. It's one of the most significant grounds on the English game so I rail against some of this 'Goodison is out of date stuff'. A new stadium could very easily be a corrugated soulless monstrosity.

I hear you but the reality is that Goodison is no longer fit for purpose and something needs to happen, I would favour a rebuild or redevelop Goodison but if that is too expensive and time consuming then a new stadium is needed.

It's a cow shed,the only half decent piece is the park end.Every other part of GP needs demolished and rebuilt from scratch
