Noades - Lovable rogue?

I remember games where we chanted at the opposition we got lots of money under his stewardship!!! Or We don't care he's a millionaire Ronnie Ronnie noades...
 

Noades - Lovable rogue?

wasnt the clubs bank balance precisely £0, with no debts, when noades took over?

seeing young kids emptying their penny jars into buckets to give brentford some hope of surviving because of him is an image i cant forget or forgive. and thats before i knew he was phoning fans to say he wanted us to go into administration, or to put it another way he was happy for people to lose their jobs (and possibly more....) just because he hadnt got his way. what a total ****candle.

Remember a game at Orient when there were fake £50 notes being waved around. Perception hadn't quite reached the masses that Noades term of personal funding wasnt quite what everyone else may have thought.

well done. and then you, i and the rest of us came to learn what his definition of "funding us" was...

People have such short memories or possibly they simply didn't get that involved with trying to save our club.

Plenty of muppets did but the Bricklayers didn't.

There are some real ejits posting on here.
BFC were one of a few clubs who were actually in the black with assets when Noades got his greedy mitts on it.
He had an agenda and when the fans turned against him he set out to wipe us out !!
This is recent history !!!!!!!
Although Mr. Benham and his team have saved our famous club we still recently have been trying to trade ourselves
out of the debt, the bloody debt that Noades left us with !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I take my hat off to BU (Banana & Co), The Walkers, The Bike Riders (including Martin Allen), the music gig promoters,
The bucket shakers, lifeliners, BU direct debit contributors, Greg Dyke and finally, our current owner and his staff.
Without these people BFC would not be here.

I remember RN saying that he only bought the club as it had no debts and we should thank Webb for steering it that way.

I think we sometimes forget that players, directors and owners do not have the same feeling for a club as do supporters. Arguably therefore the major villian in Brentfords recent history was Martin Lange who though claiming to be a supporter was content to sell the club and to put a charitable view on the matter gave no thought to what the outcome of his actions would be.

Sorry mate, I think your wrong there. With the benefit of hindsight, Lange should have stayed away from the club. It was always out of his league. Perhaps he should have looked for some other investors. Matthew Benham Is and has been the only genuine owner this club has had. Lange has done more harm than good, in fact Griffin park is well and truly ****ed after the property developer finished with it. I used to feel exactly the same way about Lange, but the older & wiser I have got really changed the way I feel. Having said that I think he had the best intention for the club. Trouble is with these money men they come into football for the wrong reasons. I'm confident Matthew is here for the right reasons.

I dont think people are celebrating the fact that RN has cancer. its just the demise aspect that many are gloating about. In fact im sure 99% of those that are rejoicing in the news would not wish cancer on anyone, even RN. we knew this day was going to come and for some it couldnt come sooner. im sure that for many its a case of not how he passes away but WHEN. In his case its "what comes around goes around". He tried to ruin/destroy a wonderful club and he nearly suceeded in doing so. I remember thinking as i put cash into the buckets along with others and taking part in the bike ride "will it ever make a difference" and looking back on it im proud to say yes. And if it wasnt for the wonderful fans we have at this club a certain individual would have driven us into oblivion and we could all be watching AFC Brentford Athletic down the local park this sat. I couldnt care less about RN and ill leave it at that.

Good post mate. Speaking as someone who has put God knows how much money into the club. ie shaking collection buckets, two walks too Wycombe , and a foot blistered walk to Hartlepool. Not to mention still paying a standing order to Bees Utd I hate the ****. Sorry do gooders Brentford is my club . That ***** was so close too ****ing up our lives. So you can feel sorry if you like. Having totally agreed with Isleworth bee's post. No tears shed from this end. Lung cancer is bad . Normally takes two years to die. Whilst not wishing death on anyone. Ron is on the way out, No matter how much money you have, I wonder if he ponders what a nasty bastard he has been. Some how I doubt it, always some other thick pratt to take the blame.

I don't think that" sorry for him" is the the sentiment being expressed , but rather not rejoicing in the news either.

If rumours around here are true then our ex-owner wants to buy Mannings Heath Golf Club.Do not think the staff are at all happy.
