Yes. Right now we have big debts but technically nothing to show for it. Once the stadium is complete we have a massive asset that generates turnover, and a debt offset against the asset. It’s not about selling it either, it’s just security. We’re just in a bridging phase for the remainder of the build. Financially the stadium won’t be a problem when it’s up and running.

After that pay off, she won’t work a day in life again.

Just relegate us now. Im hoping that includes a lot of money being spent on the stadium. If this squad is that expensive we might as well just wrap up the whole thing now.

Over three years or just one?

I’m asking the same question because you haven’t answered it. I asked if it’s fun. I don’t see how the answer can be anything other than yes or no, but you haven’t answered it. You’ve explained why you act like this, but I’ve asked if it’s fun for you. Nothing more, nothing less.

Feathers aren’t ruffled. It’s confusion as to why you do this and why you think people gang up on you. My point was that if we were all so against you wouldn’t we just take the easy option and delete? No one gangs up on you like you think. You just pick fights with everyone who disagrees with you and it’s normally a lot of people. And yet you still can’t answer a basic question that is do you find the way you act in here fun?

If there was a pack mentality, and the clique you’re so fond of, that’s always against you, why wouldn’t we just delete your account?

I asked a question if you enjoyed this, which you haven’t answered. It’s a simple yes or no. You were asked to find proof because you, as usual, were hammering an argument about your current whipping boy and switched to pulling up opinions on other topics.

Throwing toys? Seriously! Again, these retentive arguments where you see the need to pull up someone’s differing opinion from a decade ago, do you find it fun? It’s a closed question.

There isn’t a pack mentality. There are disagreements all over this forum, but when it’s you that someone disagrees with you spend days hammering it home. You think this pack mentality exists, a lot of us have similar views, but it’s you that keeps the argument going. Just pushing it over and over and over. It’s not even worth it. Christ.

I’ll ask again, is this fun for you?

This is the point, Haf. It’s not a discussion. It’s you point scoring your opinions against people to the point of looking up points from over a decade ago about different topics to show how superior you are. That’s not discussion or debate. I don’t know what it’s called, but it’s not jovial, it’s not friendly, it’s fucking hard work even as a spectator. I know for a fact from conversations with other members, it doesn’t encourage more discussion. Seeing one man constantly trying to point score against every and anyone that disagrees is just exhausting. The hardest bit to understand, Haf, is that most of your arguments are not even about your opinion. They are not about how you feel about Dyche, Pickford, Lukaku, or whoever else you don’t like, your arguments are just about you being right and everyone else being wrong. But you don’t even see it. Your opinion on the conversation at hand becomes secondary and your constant need to be the correct opinion is overwhelming. I don’t understand it, I can’t empathise or sympathise with it. I’ve avoided discussion with you for a while now as it’s just not a healthy conversation.

I’ve been here for close to 20 years because it’s fun. But some threads end up like this and it really stops being fun. It can feel like a chore coming here, but we’ve put the work in over the years and it’ll continue. But bickering and knit picking over things from 10-15 years ago to try to gain some sort of intellectual point scoring is not fun in my opinion. You personally, Palfy, will have a disagreement and laugh about it. Me and you have done that so many times, we probably disagree on more things than we agree on. When old posts about Bill Kenwright are being brought up to try to prove Haf is right about Dyche I just don’t understand it. I don’t see how anyone could enjoy coming here to do that. So when I ask if Haf is enjoying this I genuinely mean it. It reminds me of when I take my daughter to the soft play centre (like I will I’m about ten minutes) and there is kid pushing all the other kids over and then crying to his Mum when they don’t want to play with him anymore.

Is this actually fun for you?

If Stones was £50m then inflation alone should push Jarrad closer to £100m, as well as being better than Stones was at this age.

Joao Canceló hates Pep quite publicly.

Chris Long says so? Why didn’t you say so sooner! For fuck sake, one player doesn’t like him. Get a grip. You know who I find difficult and temperamental? Haf!!

Subjective. Plenty of people think he’s likeable.

The irony of discussing toxic behaviour.

Do you think the tumbleweeds might be your fault? Not everyone fancies a constant battle, Haf. It’s draining enough supporting the club without coming on here to read about you trying to prove you know better than everyone else. It’s exhausting.
