I'd have Alex Higgins in there before Ronnie, tbh. Ronnie is just a knob

Good looking chair that like. Let me know how it is and if I've also made the wrong choice

Was thinking yesterday about the term 'flawed genius' in sport and was trying to think of some examples of sportspeople who are often labelled as flawed geniuses:

George Best
Gazza
Kevin Pietersen
Maradona
Ronnie O'Sullivan (maybe)
Dennis Rodman

Sure there's loads more which I've forgotten

I still don’t believe there’s an ongoing process. There’s no evidence to say PIF are still in.

can't get past us not hearing more from ashley/bishop if it was completely dead myself, either in the sense of complaining about it/talking about mauriss or some other fakeover/talking about concrete planning for the new season with ashley in charge and no prospect of a takeover

Whilst there are enough people talking about it it’s still a good enough excuse for a poor pre-season.

At this point I don’t think Ashley gives a s*** wether we have a bad preseason or transfer window. He’s done with the club and said as much.

yeah you might be right, age old excuse not to spend money again and so on...dunno, this had gone on so long i really think we'd have heard more, indeed the last thing from charners was that he was committed to the SA deal no?
