Saddest part of this thread is that not one person mentioned the disgraceful personal attack on Michael Steele which Tony Fax opened up with. A man who has spent more of his own money, given more of his own time and fought the Club's corner more than probably anyone else in the last 10 years, in the pursuit of delivering stability and success so that you lot have something to bleat about.

Despicable.

You've never liked me Office Boy. I know that. But to dis me in this way is despicable on your own part. Where have I mentioned Michael Steele? Then you go on about me putting in more of my own money and time than anyone else during the past 10 years. Thanks for the plaudits, O Boy, but I won't take the praise because I haven't a clue what you're on about!

It was in your original post that you edited nearly 48 hours after posting

Take me to your dealer.

To quote your original post... "Michael Steele, for example, has been as much use as a chocolate tea cup.".

I've had the pleasure of meeting Michael a couple of times, albeit fairly briefly, and he has the good of HRLFC running through his blood.

Just because you edit a post, it doesn't mean that you didn't say it in the first place.

The purpose of my edit was to correct a spelling mistake. Anyway, I'm not taking jip from Office Boy whose early involvement at the club with his "buddy" Nigel Wood started the slippery slope to where we are now. The Chuckle Brothers would have done a better job. And (on another note?) they also most likely would have spent the combined Thrum Hall proceeds and the lottery grant on actually "completing" the Shay Stadium rather than leaving it half finished ............... Hmmmmmm, that stand was expensive

Your original post made a derogatory comment about Mr Steele, which you later edited out. I agree that the whole debacle that surrounds the Shay is laughable, but Fax don't come out smelling of roses whichever story you believe. Any which way you look at it, it's not realising its potential for either club.

Quitting with only 3 months as Finance Director after predicting a small surplus for the season at the supporters meeting has to be a worry.

I ain't got a clue who you are to dislike you, but I obviously dislike what you put about Michael. And if you really believe I had any influence or power to affect anything that happened at Thrum Hall you'll believe anything.

Michael Steele is a gentleman and a Halifax hero as far as im concerned, he deserves every positive plaudit. Who would want to be Chairman of a club with some of the idiots that we have on social media.

Re: Another Director Quits : Wed Jun 28, 2017 7:31 pm  

I've met Michael Steele on a number of occasions and I have nothing but the highest regard for him. He is Halifax through and through. He has put a great deal of time,effort and more importantly his own money to keep the club going. Being a director of any sports club isn't easy but at least he has had the balls to do it. It's easy to sit on the sideline and criticise but let's respect people for what they have done even if they are not personally liked by everyone.
