Nowadays there's loads more to do at the weekend and it's more family orientated - which means if the kids and 'her indoors' don't like Football - you risk entering into a family argument just so you can attend a game. A lot of guys would rather miss their dose of footy for a peaceful life. Okay; I know what I've wrote is just a generalisation but it does happen and its happening more often in present day society.

Wow. The club might have moved on since the sixties but, clearly, you haven't. That isn't just a ridiculous generalisation, its incredibly sexist and offensive too.

To get on track it's time Paul Casson spoke himself. Not interested in books.
His son seems to have full control.
Why the retirement Paul?

Book has interview with Casson.

Some of the usual lazy stereotypes eg Barrow greater travelling time than Carlisle to/from Manchester. (Barrow 12 minutes less in fact)

Yes but he doesn't make statements, apart from the fact that by not making a statement, that is a statement in itself! ;)

Sorry but he made a statement a couple of weeks ago, which everyone ripped to pieces. He also writes a column in the programme. He has hardly disappeared.

I have been a Paul Casson supporter from day 1 BUT the deafening silence from him over the last 2/3 weeks is to me very worrying.

It's ok saying there is nothing to say except, a good leader does just that and we are getting nothing from him.

I am very concerned.

Statements are pointless, just generic guff which say absolutely nothing except everything in the garden is rosy, when anyone with a modicum of sense knows different.

Wasn't aimed at you or anyone in particular Davep. The point is, do you honestly believe Casson is going to tell the supporters th full honest truth? He will always give the politicians answer. Transparency? Only in what he want's publicised.

Absolutely agree but saying something even if not entirely true is better than the current deafening silence.
