No you didn't. He left in mid 2019 at the beginning of a season where we finished 7th and reached a European Quarter Final.

That it was the beginning of the end, and that it was significant.

Yes I did.

It was one of the best seasons ever and you were all doom and gloom?

 

[Jinky]

Before this turns in to another Johnny v EP epic battle - I think he just means he wasn't happy with Dalrymple leaving and looking back, that was one of the earlier occasions where we can see things weren't quite right behind the scenes (Shi gotta Shi).

For what it's worth, I know there were a lot of people disappointed with the way Dalrymple left - all very cloak & dagger at the time - and he's one of the popular figures I was alluding to in my post earlier on today about Jeff Shi.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Dalrymple had zero say on footballing affairs so while it was a move which damaged the connection between club and fans, it's made absolutely zero difference to all the stupid decisions regarding playing and coaching staff, which is ultimately all that matters.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Oh great ignore doesn't work on the reactions.

But it showed that Shi was a dick. Dalrymple was great for the club, and again Shi didn't like that he was getting credit Shi felt he deserved.

Excuse me.

DW and I were having this discussion ourselves.

Condescending to the extreme.

That's not the same as saying it was the beginning of the end and foreshadowing where we are now.

That's just rubbish.

Agreed, but it was an early sign of Jeff Shi being an egotistical prick and basically removing each and every useful person at the club one by one.

Or as Jeff likes to refer to them... "obstacles that get more credit than me"

Chat shit, get banged.

If you don't like getting called out for nonsense like that then send it privately instead of on a public forum.

 

[Sniffer]

Lots of threads were culled when we moved platforms.

Have you read that back to yourself yet and realised how ridiculous you are being?

I'm going to use that in the future in place of 'yes I have a girlfriend, she just goes to another school'

Do you honestly think this is an acceptable way to talk to someone?

I don't think anybody disputed that at all and I would say most thought it was odd, particularly because we were so successful at that time.

Beginning of the end? That's just rubbish, not a single person thought that, not even you and you're the most pessimistic poster I know!

I'll join Jinky in the UN peacekeeper role.
You wrote that you said, reading like you did so at the time, in the moment, that when Dalrymple left that you foresaw a decline of the club.

What I think you meant was, in hindsight you can trace the decline back to that - which I agree with.

When his departure was announced the general view was that's a bit of a strange move, on the face of things going sideways to a sport that pays less, but there must be a personal reason why he wants to go back south. Shame as he came across well. You'd be unique outside of probably anyone inside the club to see it as the first step to where we are today at the time

It does.

 

[Tony Towner]

It does.

It blocks the alert, not the reaction itself. Same as when someone quotes them you see the comment.
