Now is the time to show his LEADERSHIP and come out of the closet and say where we went wrong. Then we may have a tad of trust in him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How wrong I was. Randy has conceded, he's awful at this, that's why he's tried to sell and he's not been involved much...so he passes the day to day decisions to our boy Tom, who's make a right royal cock up of it. 2 managerial appointments, both of which are now looking a bit stupid. you and many of us ,was high in expectation. Randy's problem in appointing people he doesn't confide in people like HDE or Steve Stride (who I'm sure he has contact with) and go's it alone.....but he simply don't know people well enough, he is not the most gifted in terms of charisma so is unlikely to be socially invited to crucial events to mix and find out who' who in football. IMO he simply relies on the recruitment process/interview, which only gives you so much, it doesn't give you some of the crucial stuff that is required for success.

Popular Post markavfc40 Posted January 2, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) It makes me angry when I hear this prat say we are building something special. As I said the other day the guy is either totally deluded or taking the piss out of the fans. We are half way through the season and cut adrift at the foot of the table and he has the audacity to say we are building something special. You couldn't make it up could you. Lets have a bit of honesty from the club. A bit of we got this, this and this wrong and a bit of holding up hands and saying I am partly responsible. The club have continually brushed things under the carpet by sacking managers and making them the scapegoats. No acceptance that they got things wrong. No acceptance that maybe the funds provided to the previous 3 managers were not enough to build competitive teams, no acceptance that those with an input to incoming players may alongside the manager have also got things wrong. Tom it seems is convinced that we have a decent squad of players. That the transfer policy over the summer was the right one. I'd hate to see how bad things would have been had we ended up with a poor squad and the transfer policy over the summer been the wrong one. I mean what a piss take. Two managers have been unable to get a win out of this mob for 17 games, two managers Fox chose, and yet this is a decent squad of players and we are building something special. I mean FFS. Things will never improve unless you can acknowledge and be honest that you have made mistakes in the past and given the shit Fox is spouting I don't expect things to improve any time soon for us.

Bunnski Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 He's a marketing guy from arsenal who obviously had no involvement with football matters there and he's been tasked with running the football side of things since he's been here. We needed somebody with knowledge about football and not some marketing guru who's best attribute is talking shit and selling a product... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant these idiots appoint you mark to the board. Jesus spot on and fox and his clowns should read this and bow their heads in shame for what they have put the fans through the last 12 months.

For all of the bluster of forums like this (myself included), I have to say that this is a beautifully-crafted post. Thanks, Mark.

An excellent post. I've said all along, those who refuse to acknowledge failures on big projects are guilty of the worst corporate malpractice, and are guaranteed to fail again. Tom Fox will continue to destroy this club for as long as he remains here, because he demonstrates not one ounce of introspection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I was indifferent to him, but not now. That comment of building something special shows the man to be a total bullshitter who clearly thinks the fans are absolute idiots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I knew when i first heard his interview that he was a good talker but nothing beyond that, point proven. Probably the worst appointment Lerner has made in any position since he arrived. Thats saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
