I can't be bothered to write a full response but in short I except nothing from a Chairman except to 1) keep quiet until you know what you're talking about and 2) do all you can to allow Garde, our best chance of a better future to do his job. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only very negative, but also either very very naiveor, if he knows what rubbish he was speaking, very insulting to imagine we'd swallow it. He is our very own Doctor Beeching, and will, like that man, ultimately be remembered for thinking you can cut your way to excellence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Steve, sorry mate not wanting to upset you but it's a job above your pay grade. I totally understand why you took it but I can't for the life of me understand why you were offered it. To me , and again I'm sorry, you are nowhere near the profile for this role and it just highlights what we have become. Second rate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well be not up to the job of running a football Club in a progressive way, but I don't think that is the job he was hired for at all. The one he was hired for he is, I think, probably very well suited for ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Hes a liquidator, no more no less. His approach over the next 2 days will affect the club for the next 10 years.No support for Garde, capitulation, will send a message to supporters, clients, sponsors, supporters, that will have consequences far reaching than this season.Capitulation now will make player recruitment, and indeed retention, of players of this clubs calibre virtually impossible. This blokes appointment is possibly the worst appointment ever, he is an absolute disaster.Hopefully he will prove me wrong and go on and buy 2 top quality forwards, bearing in mind that the 4 above us have spent over £100m. Not holding my breath though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I see him as a guy who would go into Marks and Spencers and maybe turn its fortunes around. A football club has completely different rules. It will be next to impossible to turn our fortunes around cost cutting and treating us fans like its consumers, which was not a slip of the tongue.

screwdriver Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 He's probably on the phone to barratt to see if they need a brown field site in Aston for 10000 starter homes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I have a bad feeling Randy has set Hollis the task of asset stripping the club to line his own pockets before selling us on to anyone for a knock-down price. Selling land, as much as we joke is probably on the agenda... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
