With Purslow at least I really don't think there was anything more to it than a blert fan at work. Read what the media had to say about our weaknesses and how to cure it. Look back at the preferred 'get rid' targets of arsehole fans and journalists alike.

Then take a look at what Purslow actually did.

He was like a ventriloquists dummy for the voice of the idiot mainstream, and we're still paying for it now.

Right on the money Seb, it's hard to believe that anyone could be worse than Parry, but he was minor dysfunctional compared to Purslow.

We've sure paid a big price for lack of leadership, vision & skill at ownership & top administrative management over the past couple of decades.  This continues with Ayre, IMO, but I do believe we now have owners that have the potential to be top notch.

Don't know enough about Ayre to really judge, though  for me all associated to that extent with the previous regime are to a certain extent tarnished by it, but I absolutely agree on the latter part. It's surely a learning process for them but more important is to have the right fundamentals in the first place, and of course the willingness to actually go through a proper learning process, and on that front I'm pretty confident they've got the right sort of stuff. It's kind of odd actually because for a long time I had total faith in management and players and little to none in the ownership, now I've got faith in the ownership but some niggling doubts about the players and management.

Next season is going to be a very interesting one for me, we all go into it with eyes open and there's proper (and rightful I think) pressure on everyone to perform.

Why is this turning into Enrique vs Insua? It's really not about that. Insua would be a great backup for enrique and since we are going to be in Europe next season it's imperative that we have some sort of backup for Enrique! But because of idiots like Purslow we have Agger as a backup.

Exactly. But in this case, it wasn´t Purslow, it happened last summer when we could have well kept him for this season. The problems in our club are still there when looking at last summers decisions which haven´t been that much different to what Purslow did the summer before..

They could have negotiated with and released him from that contract no?

Would have had to have paid him his contract in full most likely - unless we had a case for dismissal.
