He used to tell the opposing winger that "the hospital's over there". When they'd ask why... He'd say "cos that's where you're ending up". Neil Pointon could also let a winger know he was there.

You and Monty have become a little pathetic tbh. Verging on '''keyboard bullies". Bullies have never intimidated me but I won't rise to the bait again - it really is sad when people are merely debating and adding to subjects on here.

Ackey Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 OK let's draw a line please - stop the he said, she said nonsense and bickering/proving who said what to who. You're all as bad as each other. Talk about the topic (no, I've no clue what it was either) or move on to something else. Please/Thankyou. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonboy Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Back on topic....Frank is a tip top bloke and we are lucky to have him as our owner I'm actually excited about next season and the fixtures release for the first time in years, and it's all down to Mr Rothwell. I thank you 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1onheartNew Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Just spoke to Frank Rothwell in a pub in Brisbane and he told me that grass is green except when it isn't and flat caps are only flat if you have a flat head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lags Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Brian Cox was looking for Brad Pitt at Silverstone to get him interested in the pair buying OAFC. I should add it was tongue in cheek. Frank is safe for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritchierich Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I do not want any Yank or other plastic celeb anywhere near our club thank you very much! What I want is a genuine local family with a bit of money (but not so much that they don’t want to run the club sensibly) and who have the community and fans best interests at heart………oh wait Happy Birthday Frank! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure Wrexham fans would disagree with your opinion. Owners seem to be doing plenty in the community. I am sure Southend fans would welcome any investment. Plus plenty of other clubs-Fleetwood perhaps? I bet 18 months ago you would have welcomed any prospect of investment in our club from anybody.

Of course he would, we all would as the club were in a desperate situation, however, I’m with Ritchierich. Having an owner with a strong local connection has got to be better long term!!

They do seem genuine but the “investment” is coming from TV money and social media generated hype which, let’s face it, doesn’t usually last once the new shiny thing comes along…I don’t know how interested the Yanks will be after several seasons in L2 and L1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately you just don't know people's intentions until they become clear. I think we can trust Frank, he seems genuine. I think they can trust Rob/Ryan, they seem genuine too. I am certain with enough effort, which I certainly don't have, we could find scores of clubs who've been fucked over by 'local' owners, down the years? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you may be right…perhaps Frank is only using us to gain publicity for when he attempts to navigate around the globe in a jet powered bath tub or something 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
