I did say hocky people and not GMs, but I get your gist.
Many havent an OHL title either so the point is?
Some covet the Memorial Cup, some their league titles, no biggie. But to keep regurgitating the same five facts over and over on a London board to defend a Spits fan POV I dont get. I like discussions but Im sure I could pull 25 HL posts fropm the last year saying the exact same stuff over n over n over from here

The one thing I forgot to say about London's first yr in a rebuild and winning the OHL was the next 2 years they got worse not better, yeah an OHl championship and then humbled rather easily in Men Cup play, this past yr won't remind you again, think u get my point, perhaps that luck thing u brought up re Boughner and Rychel happened in year 1 , worse from there, not the way its suppose to play out right?
So Windsor is in year 3 of the rebuild and according to you are at the same stage of a rebuild as a team coming off a very very solid 3, yr run only entering yr one of a rebuild,
LasTt London true sell-/ rebuild year London won the OHL the next year. That's how it's done and why I'd take Mark to get the job done moving forward
Time will tell if Boug/Warren got lucky or if they can find more succes

HL Mark did the rebuild and did it well, Rychel still trying to find some direction.
The got the 2 titles (and good on them) but really have been irrevelant since (yaddy yaddy top 4 lol-- even the London team that sold everything that year gave the Sound a tougher matchup) and you cant say otherwise without making up excuses.
Im confident London will be more relevant in West Conf races, challenging for future OHL titles ect... the next 5 years even though were are 3 years behind the sputtering Spits rebuild

I am not saying this from a Spits POV but when Sean mentions 10-15 GM's I don't like that type of question as evidenced from my previous comment. Like you said there aren't many OHL GM's that have won an OHL title. Rychel, Hunter, Bassin, Kelly and???
Gms
Including Rychel and Hunter there are 5 OHL GMs who have won a title
The others are Sherry Bassen, Dale Defray and Mike Vellucci
How's that for non regurgated info aresknights lol

Just because you haven't done something doesn't take away your ability to have an educated opinion on that subject. If that where the case then fans like yourself couldn't have an opinion on how teams where built, they've never done it before, correct?
End of the day, take it for what it is, information.

LOL the chatter only lasted for you for a short period because that's how long you stayed at the arena. Trust me, there was plenty of "this team can make some noise" talk throughout the year.
What's this talk about Windsor success v. London success? I swear, this is a slightly dead horse. Still, count me in amongst those who would rather win the MC, followed by avg years.

this portion was fact filled
this portion made me want to vomit.
Is the horse actually dead if you can prop it up in the corner and still ride it?

I disagree 100%. Judging how a team is built is a black and white issue derived from the win/loss record of the team and the success on the ice. It doesn't take a smart person to come to the conclusion some organizations are poorly run that can be researched from drafting record, trade success etc..
You're right on polling GM's though it's strictly based on their opinion but if a GM has experienced neither it really isn't an informed opinion based on any information except for how he feels.
HL Mark did the rebuild and did it well, Rychel still trying to find some direction.

You never answered my question,were they better or worse after the 1st yr of rebuild and winning the ohl title
As for the final 4 after winning 2 mem cups its certainly better then being dispatched in the 2nd rd in a hosting yr,no excuses for the Knights this past yr that u cant deny
