    Because it's a very seperate topic, and people might not want to view through 11 pages in the other thread.

    I thought that was obvious to be honest...

    So do you guys think the board hasn't backed Strachan enough financially in comparison to O'Neill?

    *... guys come on this is supposed to provoke intelligent discussion about the board and how supportive it has been... not trying to gain brownie points by nit-picking at figures.

    That is one of the most sheep-ish (and by that I mean you are following the crowd) and stupid comments I've ever heard.

    You've obviously seen people criticise WGS/MON threads and decided to jump on the band wagon.

    Can you explain to me how on earth this is a WGS vs MON thread? I suggest you read very carefully...

    look at the thread title

    MON/WGS- explains it all


    and you are using the stats to say that MON was better backed than WGS which is comparing them which isa MON vs WGS thread


    also you started another MON vs WGS thread a couple of days ago

    That isn't a proper answer...

    This thread discusses how the board may have fairly or unfairly backed either manager.

    This is not a 'Who is better MON or GS' thread. Please read the post before trying to copy what other people have said on other threads. No one is impressed.

    This really is hopeless...

    If you'd read the other thread you'd know what this was intended for.

    I never said you were trying to impress me... you seem to be getting everything wrong.

    I think you are trying to impress others, yes. Not myself.
