That short discussion illustrates just how bleeding awful our recent history has been.
The only redeeming feature if the Billy mk2 and Price debacle was how short it was.
I reckon they would have done worse to the club than Marthur did.
Marthur inherited a Prem side at totally decimated that, flogging all our Prem kids in the process. Not to mention took 2 playoff sides, got one relegated and then almost got the next one relegated by skanking both managers.
Marthur was an employee of the club not the owner.You do him an injustice. He was a top football administrator and we sometimes overlook his achievement in reducing a staggering £120k a week loss to a mere £6.25m a year when he sold all that talent and broke up Paul Hart's playoff team.

Marthur systematically destroyed the club from being a Prem club to a League 1 one. You're having a laugh Oats. Whatever damage Price did it was nothing compared to Marthur.
We'd be in League 2 now if the Fazza + Marthur combo continued.

He might be able to explain about rainbow corner flags.
In the wake of the current racist scandal engulfing Yorkshire CCC, Simon Jordan offered an interesting opinion of Arthur on TalkSport this morning. Having dealt with him on a number of occasions when MA was Forest's CEO, Jordan found him to be a "weak and lightweight" character.

Needless to say, Marthur is mentioned a few time.
...and without getting too political, its also why I get so angry about the carryings on of MP's, turning a buck on the side for the highest bidder when they should be representing their constituents and doing the right thing for their country..
Leadership has to be about integrity.....

It's just like old times. I am amazed he didn't end his statement talking about war chests and being careful what you wish for.
I am more astonished he didn’t point out two completely random cricketers who wanted to sign for Yorkshire?
Just think.
If he hadn't try to supress that report and just published it and had Yorkshire take the hit, this would probably all have been forgotten about 6 months ago with barely any repercussions outside of an out of court settlement.
However, now his actions have bought the whole of English cricket to it's knees and bought a microscopic inspection of every action which it will almost definitely won't survive intact.
Mark Arthur. The man who destroyed English cricket.
