Maybe I'm being a bit naive here, and I'm sure the conspiracy theorists and Mad Mandy haters will tell me otherwise... but isn't it possible that the statement is actually true, and Aldridge really has just left because he spotted a good opportunity elsewhere, rather than he can't stand MM?

The comments from both Aldridge and Mandaric, and the fact that they're going to have an interview with Aldridge on the OS later suggests to me that it's not particularly an unhappy departure.

Exactly. :icon_wink If I read the statement I see it as Aldrige leaving because he has a better offer than doing the same old crap he has been doing for the last few years or an offer to do the same crap but at a bigger Club. It happens. :icon_wink
 
I have been a Milan believer from the start - but even I now have my doubts.

A few weeks ago we had the great stability debate, and my view was that stability is no use if it just means continued failure (as in Holloway).

However, the picture is now forming of a chaotic organisation where no one is around for more than five minutes and this can't be a proper basis for achieving any sort of success.

I sadly would agree. MM looks like a man losing his grip at the moment and without any semblance of a strategy. If he does know what he is doing, he needs to be out there communicating that but at a crucial moment he has become camera shy. :icon_conf :icon_conf
 
I'm glad he's gone because he seemed like a knob.



However I doubt this was mutual. He was constantly contradicting MM and they were never singing from the same page. Things that have gone wrong over recent weeks have been pinned on him - i.e Raising ST prices etc.


Looking back it would have been far more sensible to have kept Tim Davis until the end of the season and then replaced him. Instead of having PA trying to get to grips with everything mid-season and mid-relegation.

My knowledge of the man could be written upon the obverse of a postage stamp - and still leave plenty of room to stick it down: however, your opinion was that of most of the cognoscenti when he was appointed and yet, now we are told that we have lost the lynch pin of the entire club! :102:
 
Let's hope ther's another takeover around the corner. The club is going nowhere but down. The club needs stability at some level, and it's not there from from CEO downwards.

Look at the fiasco from the start, Managers going, CEO's going, Director of football going, constant ins and outs of players. No way can success be brought out of this scenario.

Just a thought, but what would have happened if Mandy had been in charge of Hull in the same period? Would Phil Brown have survived a poor season to achieve promotion the following year. Bet we know the answer to that one!
 
Can anybody tell me one massively positive thing Paul Aldridge did during his tenure please? Or at least a few lesser examples of positivity just so that I'm fully aware of why his departure is so bad for the club?

I don't think that this is the issue Melton.

I can't think of one specific problem with Aldridge going.....but the problem seems to be that there is no consistency anywhere for five minutes.

Some departures have been well justified e.g. Holloway's but I doubt whether the club can be effectively run with a sort of perpetual revolving doors strategy.

Apparantly it is final confirmation that Mandaric eats kittens and had innapropriate relations with underage midgets whilst Allen shat on his car seat.
 
From what I have heard as regards the fans, it's a good move for us. Whether the club as the business sees any benefit is another issue I can't have a say on as I haven't got a clue what he did during his time here.

I don't think it is bad for the club except insofar as it is another exit from the club - and we are becoming more known for these exits than for anything else that we do. I do think though that Aldridge's departure is seriously good news for the fans, who he saw as no more than a golden cow.
 
I know a werewolf that was looking to see if Lee Hoos fuks, although I think he might have been looking for a big dish of Beef Chow Mein though.
