I think it is impossible to discuss wider topics at the moment with the current onfield issues. So waiting until either results turn around or the manager goes (or both) seems sensible. That way more valuable time can be spent discussing the future vision for the club rather than being completely hijacked by the debate as to whether Gerrard should be sacked or not. I'd far rather the fan representatives got time to discuss a variety of topics with the Board and not end up in a toxic "debate" about the future of one member of staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May-Z Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 All that would happen at that AGM would be a venting of spleens for the whole time and almost a mob mentality with repeated questions. We are fans, and we're important, but I don't think that would be a good use of one of the few meetings with the club. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You learn a lot about a person when the shit hits the fan. But what is the open communication and dialogue at the moment? "Why haven't you sacked the manager?" "We think he deserves another x matches after the end of the transfer window." "Well we don't agree - you should sack him now." "I disagree. We've just lost to the two form teams in the league." "Yeah but we also lost to Bournemouth"......... All seems a little pointless. Better to wait until it is resolved one way or the other and then we can actually spend time talking about a wider range of issues related to the club.

WHY Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I’ve been saying for weeks that this guy had been extremely quiet all summer. Something doesn’t add up… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Maybe Purslow is feeling as much heat as Gerrard from our owners, possibly Lange as well. I think it's more Purslow and Gerrard though, I mean our owners had a pretty clear outline how they wanted things to be when they took over and on the pitch its not looked good in the last year or so. Purslow would've also endorsed Gerrard to the owners I reckon, so far it's backing firing. Wasn't there pictures circulating on social media of his and Lange face at the end of one of our recent home games? If I remember right, he didn't exactly look comfortable to be fair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only CEOs that regularly communicate during the Summer are those like Dr Tony or the Leeds guy on twitter. How many others give constant updates?

AndyM3000 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Didn't realise this guy owns a very small % of the club. Might make it difficult if he's backing Gerrard and the owners want him gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t imagine the shareholding makes Purslow bulletproof, it is more of a reward if we as a club do well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I think you're absolutely right But at the same time he wants to reassure fans that the club are working on how long it takes to get served a beer at half time and doesn't want it derailed with questions about us winning football matches...
