On that reply I think we can all agree not to take anything you say seriously whatsoever. 

Keep replying to every single post you possibly can, you are obviously an attention seeking buffoon.

Or a returning banned user

I would’ve preferred to keep Chris Martin and spend the Semenyo money more wisely, that’s my opinion. 

Christ. Chris Martin was pony for us towards the end.

But we should always listen to fan consensus. Always. Fans know best.

We have some idea that his job security is of some concern to nige, but he nor anyone else has said the attitude toward his health is an issue.

coming from a background of fixed term contracts where if something happens with my health that affects my ability to work could result in me being fired, it clearly would be reasonable to not commit to a contract extension until this is all sorted out… with the best will in the world, giving someone 3 years and the next day they go off sick with a known issue, in any line of work, would be bad management. Not that im saying that niges health situation isnt serious and that he is the sort of character that would take advantage of it.

When I had Flu back in the early 90'S I had a day off sick then I thought be miserable at home or work. work won but I was paid by the hour

That’s not how I remember it, sorry. The reaction was really negative about SC. Maybe  time has clouded my memory. I wonder if anyone could pull up the thread? 

Fair enough, on the pre appointment threads that have been resurrected you've got a point!

It seems I was one of only a few making the argument for Cott's, notably along with @GrahamC's imo very measured and sensible input.

While accepting those threads were largely negative I had in mind more the reaction on threads when he had just been appointed, and fans had a chance to judge his character and intent in his first interview on the OS.

My memory is many surprised themselves and quickly got on board after watching that interview although there was a core of regular posters who simply didn't like him and wouldn't hear a word in his favour.

But, yes, you're right - initial reaction to SC being in the frame were clearly mostly negative and in many cases the comments were plain nasty.
