We've got our club back!

Not getting the eyebrow mate, care to expand.

I'd edited the name of the site from Scouser Tommy to Doubting Thomas as a tribute to Tom...

By the way, good to see the Times was spot on as usual. Good old Tony Evans!

You got a problem with ST mate?

I agree some of the posts re Broughton and Purslow were over the top, particularly those relating to the former. It seemed people were suspicious of Broughton for reasons I would consider a bit irrational (ie mainly because he is a Chelsea fan). It seems either he, Barcap, RBS or possibly a combination of all three, demanded sufficient safeguards be put in place to ensure a timely sale could be effected and credit to them for that because it has borne fruit.

Purslow is a bit of a different kettle of fish IMO. I was one who was highly critical of him, my reasoning being that irrespective of his impressive background in corporate finance which probably makes him a competent person to have at the helm of the club, he is not someone with any pedigree in making football-related decisions, irrespective of the fact that it is within his remit as Chief Exec. Some of the pronouncements he is rumoured to have made off the record point to someone who is egotistical, has delusions of grandeur, but how much stock can you place in rumours of his behaviour which originate from internet forums? What I would point to is the whole Rafa debacle and chosing his replacement, which was dealt with poorly and in an undignified manner. And it seems they sought the advice of Kenny in seeking an appointment yet disnefranchised him from the process. Given people's emotional ties to both Rafa and Kenny I can see why they have focused some of their ire on him. I wouldn't single out ST for this, look at that Purslow banner that was unveiled at the Sunderland sit-in and the pre-Blackpool SOS march. The reaction towards Purslow on ST is in some way reflective of the wider contempt he was held in by Liverpool fans for the Rafa debacle.

Anyway, it's probably a bit of a rambling post which adds nothing to the debate, but I really hope you don't feel that ST is a place you can no longer visit because of the odd over the top poster and irrational post during a volatile time in the history of our club. It's still a great site which has hopefully suffered only a temporary blip, and I hope we'll still see you on there regularly.

Not sure why youd be banned mate but the Site's back up now and I sincerely hope to see you on there. Not going to PM you as I wont be on here much longer because it doesn't seem I'm particularly welcome. I will message you on Facebook however. Seriously mate, I hope we'll see you back on ST soon.

To misquote you:
