Hello Town fans, Stan's son Chris here.
Firstly, I would like to thank all the fair minded decent posters on this messageboard who have offered reasonable debate and opinions regarding my Dad, and it seems to me that as well as being passionate about Town, the majority of you seem fairly knowledgable when it comes to football matters.
However, I really feel that some of the personal, abusive comments about my father are staggering to say the least, and totally unfounded!
I do not recognise the man who's character has been assasinated in the most vitriolic manner, ie; a tosser, a tw*t, has alzheimers, an old fart, a thug, turnip, arrogant and a 'stella drinking wife beater! ! !
What's going on?
He's NONE of the above! He's single minded, yes. He doesn't suffer fools gladly. He's a strong character & cares for your club more than you'll ever know. He doesn't deserve abuse of a personal nature and would be gutted if he were ever to read this site. Give him and yourselves a chance, you wont be sorry! He's a "proper" football MAN, and will bring you success, but it will happen quicker if everyone sticks together.
How many sons in my shoes would stand by and let all this propaganda materialise on a messageboard without reply?
Nobody minds football debate and differing opinions & banter, but some comments have been way below the belt.
Judge him at the end of the season.
Keep the faith!
Thanks,
Chris Ternent

Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs. That needs a considered response. I'm off to do some considering.
I'm pretty much in agreement with all that you've posted, but I think the way your Dad has spoken to Paul Ogden, on Radio Leeds, has tarnished his character in the view of many.

Don't quite know what to say to that, a reasonable post on your part. People are entitled to their opinion, I personally have faith that Stan will deliver the results and that some of the comments are daft to say the least, but this is a board for debate.
Good on you for speaking up though.
Keep the faith

Fair play for standing up for your old man Chris. This is a message board not a forum for abusive comments etc, especially when they are totally unfounded.
You a town fan now then Chris?

Thanks for posting that Chris. I hope it reminds some folk on here that behind the Stan the man character is a human with a family and he doesn't deserve some of the abuse he gets on here, regardless of the results.
I happen to think your old man is just the chap to take us places and I'm right behind him. UTT.

Mostly fair, though he is in his 60's so I think that does make him an old fart.

<< Judge him at the end of the season. >>
Even if, God forbid, we were relegated at the end of the season, the personal abuse would still be totally unjustified. The guy's trying his best to do a job for fcuks sake.
As you know, this is a board that even has threads about moaning about moaning, so the posters at the extreme end of the moaning about your Dad are bound to be way over the top. I'm not sure your post is going to change things, but maybe it will. Good luck.

I should think your Father would understand quite well where all the vitriol is coming from. If you are his son then you should know that your old fella is really closest to a football supporter a manager can get with his attitude. There's nothing wrong with it in my opinion as being as much of a failure as Stan has so far at Town as been experienced by all the great managers in their careers and a good number have either turned things around or gone elsewhere and been successful. Clough at Leeds Ferguson at Man .U Jock Stein at Leeds To name 3 of the greatest.

Thanks, Chris Ternent If that really is son of ST then well said fella!! Your old man aint the most popular at the moment, but nothing that a series of decent results starting tomorrow night wont put right!! On the subject of abusive comments, i think he upset many on here with what appeared to be a demeaning and arrogant attack on paul ogden from radio leeds and fans are using this site to get even!

Fair play Chris, you are well within your rights to stand up for your Dad, anyone would.
However, with results not being what they might be you cannot blame some of us for getting a little frustrated given the money he has had to spend.
I'm not a Stan-fan, it would be hypocritcal of me to pretend otherwise, but agree some of the personal insults are a bit much at times (good job you don't sit near me on a Saturday, the names on here pale into insignificance compared to what he gets called by people around me).
As I said, fair play for fighting your corner. Respect.

Good on you mate, fantastic post.
I can accept criticism on Stan's footballing decisions, tactics, etc as grounds for reasonable debate, though I may not necessarily agree with them, but the attacks towards his character and nature by some posters on here show them up for the moronic fools that they are.
I would never advise any footballer to read the forum of the club that employs him, as some of the views expressed by people posting on here, and other forums obviously, are disgraceful.
Some people think because it is the internet, and it is faceless, they can say whatever they like, and abuse whoever they like. I pity them, and those made to read the drivel they type.

yeah, seems to be, great and I hope some of the over the top really offensive posters against stan take a good look at themselves ..... We are defo going in the right direction and at least we have a very interesting Bloke in charge who doesnt back down and has some Balls about him . WE all spout off on what he should do and what we would do, easy to say sitting behind a keyboard !!

Good point ... ... ... I just find it laughable that Stan would have brought up a son that felt he needed to come on to a message board and stick up for his dad. Hardly the kind of thing you would expect of Ternent. Im sure if he knew his son had come on here crying about the way a few people had spoken about him, then he would be a bit pissed off with him for doing so. I think Stan can fight his own battles and speak for himself to be honest (or perhaps not going on his record of non-attendances at supporters meetings)

My point is that Stan isnt the kind of person who feels the need to come on a message board to defend himself, and i dont think his son would be either.

Chris is clearly taking an interest in how Town are doing, with his Dad in charge... hence being signed up 4 months ... and rightly, he's stood up against the unreasonable stick his Dad's been getting. Added to that, he's made his points constructively and fairly.
