Bert - Really, desperately, hope you’re right about MM and pleased you’re taking a medium term view. My concern is that his track record at Motherwell and start at Swindon suggest success under his leadership is unlikely

I see where you are coming from and understand completely your feelings. i have now stopped gambling and am trying to move forward. i was not asking you to give me cash to sort out my problems. That would have been too easy and would not have taught me a lesson or the satisfaction of resolving the situation.

I was looking for someone to loan me the money to pay off all that i owe and pay them back in a structured way, that way i could live my day to day life without this stress and also know i was repaying my debt. Its difficult to explain in this forum how bad my situation is.

Thanks for even replying, your a good bloke.

I don’t have the time to write a full response, but in brief; I am sympathetic to anyone who is in dire straits through gambling (as I’m sure most punters would be - most of us have looked in to the abyss at some point in our lives) but I am not willing to help you out. I can’t reasonably help you and not help others in similar state - I won’t go there. I don’t imagine it will be easy for you to dig yourself out of whatever hole you are in, but it can be done, and to do it on your own is surely the way forward.

Craig,

!!. Give MM a break - short termism is a plague on modern day football (and many other areas of life) and I believe MM is setting his sights on the mid to long term. Judge him half way through next season.

Smile and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone. So i will do my best to Smile, which is not easy
