They would not be able to invest in the team so how could they improve us and get a return? They might as well buy another club that are not under P & S restrictions.

I'm just bored now with saying someone is rubbish, as it's so obvious everyone can see it. I have nothing of value to add other than go home for a bit Mr Chairman and get somebody capable in on a no win no fee basis. Pay them a huge bonus to sort your shiit out please.

Animis Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 There will always be a hard core of fans who never get involved in the intricacies/politics of the running of the club. They just rock up and watch 90 mins of football, have a chat with the like-minds around them and go home. They might buy the Star for some 'news'. They are however, a bit like newspaper buyers in general - an aging demographic. The football fans now generally want communication and involvement. generally through social media, value for money and like their involvement in other business sectors, are quite savvy. These are generally under 50s and of course if all football clubs want to keep these on side they have to compete with other products and try damn hard to keep fan (customer) loyalty. Unfortunately i don't see much of this from DC, and he can only on the die-hards for so long, and these have probably already committed financial already.

I honestly think anyone incapable of seeing the impact something simple like not renewing with the BBC contract would have on his own popularity (never mind some fans' access to local football) is pretty much beyond help. It's not his biggest balls-up but it's symptomatic of a huge disconnect between what he understands about the culture around football and what he should understand about the culture around football. Naturally, that's not a problem if you've got people around you that are sympathetic to fans needs and will make sure you're not dropping yourself in the s*** over and over again.

HootHoot Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Think we all need to band together here to be honest and stop throwing around childish insults towards someone with a different opinion. Supporting your club does not make you a "happy clapper" Criticising your club doesn't mean you aren't a fan either. The one thing we can be certain is our chairman just wants what is best for us. He's just lacking some experience with running a football club and he needs some help with that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
