Peter pannu has reacted angrily to the 'attacks' on the board by Cameron Jerome and Lee Bowyer.
Attacks? More like opinion.
Pannu plays the blame game. Blaming everyone except Yeung and himself for their lacklustre part in our demise.
I believe in freedom of speech and both players have excersised that right but Pannu and other board members have chosen the right to silence.
For every person who speaks against the present regime Pannu considers legal action.
I still believe Cameron Jerome has pinpointed the problems at St Andrews and has earned respect for his honest appraisel.
Pannu spits his dummy out

Thought PP had said a few weeks ago that we where financially secure?

"Freedom of speech is one thing but silence is another."
Sorry but what a contradiction...
Freedom of speech includes the right to remain silent if you wish, or am a I missing something here???

I have to go along with the sentiment that whatever you think of PP he and the rest of the management are entitled to their opinion on things said by LB & CJ.
Both those players, have had their wages paid via the management, but more so by the fans who have been paying their way into the ground week in week out/season in season out and promoting the team elsewhere via merchandise etc.
The players could/should have kept their opinions to themselves unless they felt they were hard done by or did not get a move which has/is been good for their careers.
I do not blame CJ or LB for what they have said, not do i blame PP for saying what he has said.
At the end of the day, he represents/is the owner of the club that these players have been employed by and who, in his opinion are disrespecting [or worse] their former employers.
Ultimately it does not matter much either way but i know that i would be peed off had someone i had employed [and not asked to leave] then turned around and said 'bad' things about their former employers after getting a move which was to their benefit.

"And he's fat and bald. Never a good thing."
Hey i am aswell, and i ant so bad a thing
Panu thinks everything is rosey, cut cloth accordingly well we have spent about £500K on fees (can rise on sucsess) and when you look at the money saved in cuts and players sold, its not a case of cutting cloth accordingly its a case of sell all they can because we are dept ridden and skint.
Come prove us wrong Panu
Why was players sold for cheaper than value again we are desperate for cash to pay off banks, why could the board not cough up cash to keep club afloat untill we got the right offers for players, because the board are skint.
Yeung and Co do not have a pot to pee in.
Jerome tells the truth, something Panu etc have been dodging all along, if we are to progress then the club has to.
1) Invest in our club to get promoted we are not in the Top 4 strongest sqauds this season.
2) When Promoted they need to invest again, and invest enough to keep us up, the kind of spending we would need to move on would be what Stoke have done and thats improve bit by bit, last 2 seasons Stoke have been ambitious.
Granted Yeung and co was on same level of ambition if not more, sadly the targets was too pricey (if Jones was what Stoke paid i think we would have got him and so we was right not to pay £13M).
But come january after the Xmass of all those going bust rumours, and when Yeung had to loan the club money to keep afloat we should have heard alarm bells. We never was in the market in January as we was in the Summer so i wonder if cash was tight.
I think bottom line, Yeung could have backed us more in the Prem, but combination of lossing Prem Income and Yeungs arrest has meant we are in trouble.
Fact! Yeung is not very rich, he seemed the only one backing the club (otherwise why would he have to sell shares, and loan off his assets to keep club afloat).
Fact! He/BIH paid over the odds for the club and seems its not all paid cash but loans and debts from banks and lenders.
So please Panu tell me i am wrong, maybe we can discuss it over a coffee.
Fans are upset, you need to try to get them back on side and be honest, if you told us we are in big financial mess the fans would be fine, we can handle the truth.
Panu your rants are alienating you as much as Sully's did.

why is every one going on as he looks the fool ... time will tell if Yeung makes comeback or is convicted..
I think there stake will be sold if he goes down if he doesnt the resentment will force them out.. Yes Yeungs stakes value will increase and we then we can move forward in regaining premier status ... Blues is bigger than any owner and will be here long after Yeung and Co

Pannu is like the Chinese equivalent of Chemical/Comical Ali in Eye-raq.
I can almost see him telling everyone that the Americans were finished,as their tanks rolled into Bagdhad in full view of the cameras,just over his shoulder!

Is it true that Yuengs has been told that he cannot leave HK now?
Somebody at the game told me that he will not be coming over this week, can anybody confirm this?
