How did the media team watch that back and not say, John, we need to re-do this because you look and sound ridiculous. I honestly think they're fueled by their own delusions of grandeur. Baffling how someone could think that interview would play well with the support otherwise. The Archer and BlueAvenger 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relying on Champions League income and hoping we'll get a big sale every year is fantasy land stuff.

It's basic stuff they haven't been getting right, and now we're having to find over £10m a year to just keep out the red. A club our size with our supporter base and spend shouldn't be in this position. Amateur level from them. They haven't budgeted properly since they took the helm.

The lack of any sort of forward planning and the horrendous use of our money is incompetence at best. Considering we have successful business people running the club, they honestly haven't a clue.

theclothmonster 1,892 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 59 minutes ago, Malkytfp1 said: There was nothing he could have said that would have appeased the fans. Loaded questions with loaded answers as expected but is yet to face the real questions fans are asking. It came across as "here is why we're going to fail". There was also a wee bit of "it's no ma fault" in there. Struggles to read a room. Felt more like a tick box exercise. I'd have had more respect for the guy if he came out and said he fucked it and the season is basically a write off. That would at least buy him some space for the upcoming shit show.

Popular Post Prso's headband 36,750 Posted July 29 Popular Post Share Posted July 29 Fans have got to get together now to force change. We’re looking at a situation where we are in dire need of the CL this season to be sustainable with a squad who don’t even look capable of competing domestically. We need fresh investment and fresh faces at every level. That comment from the fan even since 2022 is sickening. Otherwise we’re in deep trouble in the next 2 years.

rossco87 795 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Complete and utter bullshit and bluster. Fine the material has been delayed, but it hasn’t taken nearly 4 fucking weeks to get an update and then be able to address it and “fill the void”. He was part of the board that hired the executives who have stumbled from one calamity to another and caused the £10.5M loss and then when questioned about their performance told us it was “best in class”. Also the section about transfers and spouting off about an £11M total commitment - so how does that work John, are the board just pocketing the money from incoming transfers and the savings from the player wages that have left?!? If he thinks his current stewardship of the club is going to help turn us around he is in for a shock. They are setting us up for mediocrity that will see a drop off in prize money, European money and fan engagement. One thing saying we are running at a loss and we need to address that and look to reduce losses by both cutting back on overspend and putting in place a strategy for the long term as a strategy. He has basically just told us that we are skint, with no potential for investment (or speculation) and that what could have been an opportunity for a evolution of the club (which was needed 3 years ago but he and his fellow board members failed to implement) is now a full on revolution. Problem is history should have taught him that those that start revolutions rarely survive them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
