He's a liar, he told me he was going to do everything within his power to get us back in the PL, he hasn't.

I disagree. Short lost his own money through his own stupidity - bad appointments from top to bottom, sanctioning bad buys, making managers buy volume and cheaply, not backing managers, broken promises including his most recent etc. I'm afraid he's gone back to the mighty USA to be rid of us. He might lose money (temporarily) but he's not a fan and never will be. Not like me - 67 years and counting. He has no idea at all about the highs and lows of football never mind those of the club we all love and support. How many times has Ellis Short cried, frozen nearly to death, broken down in the car or a bus on the way to a game or back? Has he ever nearly divorced the wife over football? Does he know what it's like to want to be alone all weekend, nay all week after another humiliating result? I doubt it!Yes it’s a travesty the way he’s overseen a huge investment in the club, and our longest unbroken spell in the top flight for decades.
People need to get a grip. He’s made mistakes in his managerial appointments and if he’s guilty of anything, it’s backing the wrong managers too far. However he’s not exactly turned a profit at the clubs expense. He’s the biggest loser out of everyone on the back of what’s happened.
Read some of the @Grumpy Old Man posts about it. We have a loan to repay in 2 years but it’s covered.
Wait til he sells the ground to himself on the cheap (under another company name) and starts renting it back to us. We would get an instant bonus of 5% of the value back for Coleman to spend on 45 new players. 750k goes a long way when you scour the Bolivian non league
Wonder what interest we will have paid back on that? Maybe the ground rent on Shorts hotel could go towards it?
and the SBC one?
I've obviously never ran a multi million pound company but, people with shit credit get mortgages for less than 8% interest.
Is that the norm for someone who owns national banks?
That may well be true, however it’s what he does now and next that counts, clearly doing nothing is not an option.Yes it’s a travesty the way he’s overseen a huge investment in the club, and our longest unbroken spell in the top flight for decades.

We had debts when he took over, do you expect him to just dish out money like f***ing sweets?Nice bloke? Also, "giving" us that money. What' the debt then, scotch mist?

That’s not how you become a billionaire
You can say what you want about short.
The fact of the matter is, he’s the owner, we aren’t, a negative attitude from the fans is going to get us nothing.
There’s plenty of worse owners about than him.
He’s just taken too much bad advice on board imho.
I can't believe anyone has any sympathy or is defending him. He appointed his mate's son to head up the most extreme change in recruitment in our history man. Would he have gotten one of his mate's bairns to run one of his national banks in Korea if all they had done was work as a cashier in the local Nat West?
He then allegedly appointed Di Canio on the advice of a waiter in an Italian restaurant.
Fuck knows where he got Congerton and his basketball, laptop-carrying mate from, probably working the tills at B&M or something.
Drumville for a start, Short took his eye off the club and trusted too many people to play their role, he is paying the penalty for it.Name one.
Its amazing anyone can defend him at all. The mans a f***ing clown.
