Well in that case, I guess I didn't really take a Tunj of offence from it so I guess it's okay! Just don't let me catch Euan acting like this again!

A little history of 'blue sky' thinking
BLUE-SKY THINKING
A blue sky is one with no opaque objects such as clouds in it so blue-sky thinking must be empty thinking unsullied by any ideas at all.
Funnily enough the earliest recorded metaphorical uses of the phrase “blue sky” were applied to issues of corporate fraud. In the early 20th century people trading in worthless securities – the kind of thing that much later would have been termed junk bonds – were said to be selling “blue sky and hot air” and they were called “blue-sky merchants”.

So there you have it - Ryan McKnight: A man of no substance whatsoever! Nice research there, Ceef - with not a single mention of the 'bad old days', 'best practice' or 'left-field thinking' anywhere to be seen! Now I'm off to put my wheelie bin out and wash my own face!

"The seminar will cover the taboo topics of 'the limited role of ticket price in attendance', the 'homogenisation of clubs', the disaster of 'fan-engagement' and the requirement for a 'knowledge reformation' within UK club fanbases. McKnight also aims to develop the conversation of how modern day fandom is rapidly reflecting wider social weaknesses/changes and in turn, diluting not only the potential experience of being a supporter but also changing the fabric, strategy and souls of once idenifiable (but now much more generic) clubs."Jesus wept, that man has the worst case of verbal diarrhoea I've ever seen.

i actually laughed at 'knowledge reformation' - we need a change in thinking in football similar to the move from catholicism to protestantism under henry VIII?
if ryan mcnight wasn't real, a comedian would invent him. that ought to be his epitaph.

Such is my intense dislike for the man, it actually made me dislike Wolves a little bit just knowing that he supports them...! And I was raised as a Wolves fan!
