New_Hope Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 It just shows passion and that we all care for our club although we show it in different ways but at the end of the day we are all #VTID! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read stuff on here, about all aspects of the game, that surpasses any football journalism I’ve ever seen. But we have the added benefit over other media of having genuine, passionate, opinions as well. And we are always, each of us, always right ! ! I have only ever been wrong once.......Then i found out in the end, I was right. ps............. The Mrs has a different version.

Demitri_C Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 I think it was a blessing not goung up with these new money men coming in. If we had gone up we would be stuck with xia and likely we would have been in bigger financial ruins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were keeping him on I'd have expected them to have communicated that to him unequivocally in the first days of assuming control, even if their primary focus was on financial matters. He has had no such assurance, from what I have gathered, despite it taking only a few minutes by phone if they can't do a sit down. "Hello, Steve., new owners here. We're going to be busy as hell for a few days so we can't do a face to face yet but rest assured nothing changes on the coaching front. We want you taking us forward and are looking forward to meeting you to understand how we can support you in that." That's how long that could take, give or take a few pleasantries, but AFAIK it didn't happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the only chats he has had have been with their representatives - hardly a friendly approach to the manager that'll win you stuff and more like the cold shoulder before they know they can deliver the bad news.

The style of play and the cosmetic bits will not be overly considered.....It will all surround results. missing out so closely will not go amiss....they will be oh so aware of that. Top business men are not chancers, they back winning tickets.....Steve went too close for them to dismiss him.....thats my take. Or maybe they read between the lines and see for themselves just how bang average the man is at football management ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Should have been sacked after the final.Yeah he finished 4th,but look at the budget he had and players at his disposal we were to inconsistent.Teams half our budget performed better. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
