We may disagree with SP at times with the decisions he makes to move our club forwards but after the last few days it puts a lot of this in perspective and I sincerely hope we, and other fans from across Europe, no matter what club they support will stand together and act in a meaningful and long lasting way for our game.

I feel SP really hits the nail on the head with his views:

ESL or no ESL the game is and will be taken the way the big club owners want for financial gain rather than sporting reasons.

What has sneaked under the radar for the Champion's League is just as bad as the ESL

Didnt see this, some saying how 'awkward' it was

Mr Parish is so good for our club and for the game generally. He has had a few articles published recently in The Times where he contributes thoughtful items about topical subjects.

It's one of the reasons I was keen to see him in front of the cameras to give his views about the ESL proposition. He didn't disappoint. Even though he's not the most articulate speaker, he gets the message across well enough. I've seen him do three interviews since Monday night, including one with his old flame Susanna this morning.

Anyway, I've made my views about SP very clear previously. We should all respect the fact that our Chairman is a fan of our club, has been since he was four. We may not always agree with what we see him doing, but he sure is doing what he thinks best. Better him than an American corporate mogul eh?

Glad you raised the topic Mwncisee.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Good post fella
