I normally take the Daneword with a pinch of salt, he is pretty much your uber div, but on this he is very much on the ball, we are pathetic and will most likely never amount to more than 4th division regliars and part time 3rders, the past four years have been fantastic with you Billy Big Bolloxers struggling to hang on to your league status while we first aspired via one of our all time best finishes after two promos out of three. The pain of our subsequent slide was ameliorated by watching you lot continue to struggle but was none the less the final evidence to confirm that the management of our club was about a tenth as good as they thought they were.

Competing in and having some success at this level should not be particularly difficult for a club of our inherent size and support, the money should be there, you would just have to spend it right, for you lot it just shouldn't even be an issue, you have a huge catchment and a well run Muff Argh should be top 3rd at worst, praise be to the prophet that you have supplied us with such entertainment of late.

We have a management structure which is full of comfortably embedded incapables fronted by Tw@sdale whose lucky run has enabled him to get the ultimate cushy contract from his best bud Tagg, £15ok pa on a two year roller is a total joke for a man who has produced utter cack for three years. There is no governance of the inadequates by the owners as the Trust is run by bottleless old winkers backed by a membership who appear to have little or no interest in the reasons for our demise.

Fortunately I live 200 miles away and work Saturdays, friends who are local and feel obliged to keep turning up have my absolute sympathy, last six home games giving up one draw and five defeats at the rat end of almost two seasons of desperate home performances, as with you mugs our home support has held up remarkably well considering the dross being served up every other week.

Saturday was just the last in a long line of abject performances on and off the field, nowt will happen to address it, our leadership is as base as yours and the bulk of our support as apathetic, the only thing I have to look forward to is the eventual fall into administration when hopefully we can man up again to save the club but then be lucky enough to put in place some people and a structure which isn't a shower of shiite like the current debacle.

So what in your Newellesque logic makes you think your homeland club would deliver more consistent success under a different model than the present  Fans' Trust ?
I'm genuinely interested. Are you talking property and ground swap/development ? Some benign dictator buying the club with it's own debts ?
Or are you just talking some new manager to replace he of your ire ? Sometimes a new manager can make all the difference, true enough.

"So what in your Newellesque logic"?

WTF does that mean?

All I want is a structure that requires the Suits to produce or be held accountable, we employed a Manchester United supporting, ex DCC pen pusher specifically to make the redevelopment happen, in four years he has achieved nothing beyond spending a couple of hundred thousand and treating the Trust with utter contempt, we have Taggy who waltzed into a £70k CEO job for which he was totally unsuited, fooked it up then sacheted back to being "Football Director", so we have a football director, a director of football and the highest paid manager in the division yet no discernible transfer income and a team which has won one of its last eight home games.

These people and others are milking a dying cow, crowds are dropping and they are running the same old game plan week in week out plus there is absolutely no mechanism for making any of them accountable thanks mostly to the input of the Trotskyist who used to run Supporters Direct and the well meaning amateurs who 'saved' the club last time.

This time around I should hope that someone with a bit of a clue might get involved to ensure that the club does not become a cash cow for losers.

We have all we would need to become a competitive 4th div club with aspirations to 3rd div standing and perhaps even a scrappy insurgency into the Championship a la Yeovil, we do not need some grandiose redevelopment scheme, a couple of neat little covered terraces to replace the old grandstand and our scabby away end could easily be sorted through a deal with the landlord, ECC, and with proper engagement with the fan base, why the chuff would we need a capacity of bigger than 10 or 11 thousand, just as why would you need more than 17k?

The major issues are engagement and accountability, a Trust owned club should respect its beginnings in the faith of the punters who support it, ours ceased to in the furore of two promotion seasons based almost entirely on the quality of the players Tw@sdale inherited and the apathy of the support base has allowed them to get away with it.

It's not about who owns your club, it is about the way that they do it, I would take a Sugar Daddy who loved the club and made good things happen, who in their right mind wouldn't? I would also take a seriously unsuccessful Trust owned club that was run by real fans with an ethos of trying to play good football with a preponderance of local talent.

I'm well easy to please, me.

Talking of local talent, thanks for Purrington.

You're very welcome, it wasn't so very long ago we were scrabbling around picking up your cast offs, it's good to see the role reversed.

Didn't you pack your youth team away because you couldn't afford a bus for them?

If Purrington is your cast off, that doesn't say much for your others. Captain of a much more successful youth team 40 miles away, elevated to first team status, scoring in the third round of the FA Cup - something even Alan Gow can't achieve up there right now.

I can remember signing Mackie off you for a bag of peanuts, considering he left us for the Prem it's pretty hilarious, presumably you needed to buy some new footballs or something that month.

Also recalling Noone and putting Exeter fans in tears, this little baby-faced kid had walked into their side off the roofs of Liverpool and become their best player.

Let's try this for Exeter City.

Must be time for Nikkkk to hire another plane to trail a banner over Sid James Park.

This time instead of reading " We'll meet again" it should read "Everything's fine at FES, it's all just a misunderstanding"

Oh dear!

That would be our youth team which is in the last 16 of the 'Premier League U21 Cup' having already disposed of two Premier League Academy sides, they're playing tonight if you fancy watching a fast flowing, attacking game.

Mackie?

You got two fifths of three eighths of fook all for him, Noone or Joe Mason. Noone wasn't getting a look in at Gnome Park, a couple of games in a better side showed you how good he could be when not surrounded by donkeys.

As for Jamie, he gave us 100% effort in every game and deserved his chance to move on, we still went up the season he left and the one after so he obviously wasn't that important to our team whereas you lot managed to hold on to your Championship status solely based on his goals, we were, as always, happy to help you out.

There's dim, there's dimmer and then there's ejh.

We got about £1,000,000 for those three players didn't we? Despite being broke.

Have Exeter EVER received a million for any three players in the club's entire history?

WoW!!

You mean you got a whole million for the three best players you have had in an age, let's not forget you paid £300k for two of them?

God but you are a fook'tard, Mason alone was worth that plus your dumb ass question shows you know feck all about the history of your own club. We sold a player which you subsequently paid big money for when he was old and decrep for what today would be 3 or 4 million, any real Argyle fan would know that.

Why do you keep changing your argument? It really is amusing.

Joe Mason was ours, we bought Noone for £110,000, we bought Mackie for £145,000.

We sold Mason for £250,000, we sold Noone for £300,000, we sold Mackie for £500,000.

Net expenditure: £255,000.
Net income: £1,050,000.
Profit: £795,000.

And this is bargaining when the club was on its fecking arse.

I mean look at Mackie. We bought him off you for hardly anything. And that is not because you were in administration or anything like that. It's because you are a shite small club who would accept anything for him.

I mean of all the people to be trying to take the piss, fecking Exeter fans? Give me a break. The only time in your club's shite history you got near what we got for Mackie was about 20 years ago when you sold Martin Phillips, a player defined by what he achieved in a green shirt. Who we bought for nothing.

You keep buying freebies and selling your players for £80k thinking you are Derek Trotter, and we'll keep buying players and selling them in multi million pound deals (Ebanks Blake, Norris, Gosling and Halmosi). And telling clubs to piss off when they offer £250k for Tyler Harvey, and send him on loan to Salisbury instead.

 

I think Mason was only sold for £150k (according to the PANDA report)- Effin' Ridsdale! Bolasie went for £20k and is now a Premier league regular (albeit for Palace)!

Bolasie was a much more humaliating loss than the others, who have gone for much more than any Exeter player in decades!

I feel for you Chemmy, this ejh dude must be a serious embarrassment for you with his inability to see what a tw@ he is making of himself, he doesn't seem capable of differentiating between a Championship club in decline selling the family silver for tuppence and a Conference club on the up losing one of their better players but still moving up.

His unerring need to draw comparisons between the mighty PAFC and us is quite touching, has he not worked out yet that we know we minnows and will get butt fooed by the big lads in the showers? Doesn't he realise that Muff offered up the ol' ring piece when they should have been one of the big boys? Zero class or capability.

Not sure if he has noticed that as far as kids are concerned it is Exeter City who will be in the hat for the Premier League U21 quarter final draw along with Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City.

Tyler Who did he say was on loan at Salisbury?

You boys must be sooooooo proud.

To be fair to tis. Exeter a youth set up is light years ahead of argyles. I'd never let a kid of mine go to argyle if exeter was an option,

One of the big boys? Are you braindead, or do you not know what it is to be in administration, with HMRC working on closing you down as an example to the rest of the football community.

Trust me, it is much more difficult position to sell a player than being 'a conference club on the up'.

Why not discuss the £10m+ player sales we received in '08? More than the entirety of Exeter City FC with Uri Geller and Michael Jackson thrown in has ever been worth.

Less than a million for three premiership players,
Watching Tis squirm as he realises he's the underdog again.........priceless.

Happy to.

Ok, so you sold all your best players then finished up £17 million in debt, slid all the way down the leagues so that you had to rely on the worst two teams in order to help you survive by skin of your decaying and blackened teeth!

And you think that is something to crow about ????????

Your club is the League's ultimate underachievers, the population of the whole of Cornwall and half of Devon to draw support from with your only competition the mighty Turks, yet all you can do is try to big yourselves up because you got more money for a few players than tiny ol' Exeter City yet still finished up as a tool for a property developer and the plaything for the likes of Newell, Webb, your club president, and Nikk the money lender.

You must be soooo proud.

ps. Do the St.John Ambulance ask for their fee up front nowadays?
