A lot of venom has been spewed at these two and I am glad that they were able to finally provide their own perspective to their critics. It never, ever made sense to me that they could go from highly-respected around the league to complete idiots in one year (the latter characterization was quite a popular one among many Argos fans over the past year). I am very glad that the calls for their firing were not heeded by Argonauts ownership.

Perspective? More like provided their own excuses. They seem to be saying all the right things and learning from their mistakes, however, it's the mistakes that many felt should not have happened in the first place. Considering the state the franchise was in a short while ago, the criticism was justified. We will never know how actually close they may have been to being fired (a very possible outcome), because I believe everyone was extremly lucky how the whole scenario played out. The timing and explanation of the events still do not add up or make sense. Popp and Trestman were never a sure thing. If it didn't play out as it did, I'm sure the venom would be still spewing.

57 said it best. Passion is good. Fans had plenty of reason to be alarmed and they were, cos they cared about the franchise. This loyalty stuff is over the top. Maybe we should all get secret passwords and brand ourselves with a tattoo of a big plain "A"
I questioned it at the time. I guess I'm just more patient than some. I have often complained about the knee jerk reactions by people on here. Some on here get mad at me because of some of the personal insults I throw out at some members (btw, i never swear or make threats. I tend to throw around the word idiot a lot ) How is that any worse then the ones thrown out at Copeland and Moore over the last few months?
It's us vs the rest of the country
What was ania going on about that people are talking about here?
Pm me if you don't want it mentioned in this thread.

Sorry, but I'm with Grey Dragon on this.
Agreed. IMO aside from argoholic and Rocket, most knew it would take time (I myself have stated up to 10 years). In saying that, most also agreed that it was too soon for a Grey Cup, and Copeland and Moore mishandled quite a bit in their first season (which wasn't supposed to happen due to their CFL background).
I'm happy to hear that the ticket pricing structure will change, but there's still a ways to go.

I was informed that the next meeting which was to happen tonight was cancelled due to not enough people coming... the one for next Tuesday April 18th is still a go.
Hopefully there will be enough people at that one. I am looking forward to it.
