Supplementals 4. Even if he wasn't involved directly in executive decisions (although funnily enough that IS the role of a board of directors!!), he is still in a better position to KNOW THE FACTS, that you or fellow conspiracists. Plus, even if you had equal access to the facts, which you don't, I would still believe him over you.
5. Why would he want to, or bother to protect Smith? And not Kewell? He knew Kewell would get stick for insisting in only joining Liverpool, and letting his agent take millions off us? Does not compute. 6. Proper fan? If I asked 10,000 'proper' leeds fans who Peter Lorimer was, they would not say he was "a pub landlord who played for Leeds". The first thing off their lips would be "he played for Leeds". So not only do you know the real facts about the Smith transfer, you also know the voting rights of the Krasner board? Where do you get this information from? And it is a conspiracy theory, you think that Smith WANTED to play for Man Utd, and you think Lorimer is covering up and lying to all Leeds fans, risking his reputation, just because he knew Smith might get a bit of stick. DOES. NOT. COMPUTE. -----Original Message----- From: Ian Murray [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 09 June 2011 08:32 To: Mark Humphries Cc: Paul Cundell; <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [LU] Smith Sent from my iPhone On 9 Jun 2011, at 08:09, "Mark Humphries" <[email protected]> wrote: > So a pub landlord cannot know or impart the truth? > > 1.

He was on the Leeds board because of his legend status as a player, not because he was qualified. Do you really think he was part of the quarum?

I know it would fuck me off. That's bullish!t. He had other options. Anyway, he's shit. We don't need him. If he signs for us I will have to swallow it but IMHO he made his bed and can lie in it. He won't improve us, but he's cheap because he is not wanted in the Prem (unlike Johnson). > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ian Murray > Sent: 09 June 2011 07:28 > To: Paul Cundell > Cc: <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [LU] Smith > > Finally, I'm naive because I take what smith said at face value, > you're in the know because you believe Lorimer, the pub landlord the > kransortium put on the 'board' to appease the natives.
