What you are suggesting is not changing a tyre when you are all over the road and heading downhill. The crash is still to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the truck that’s faulty and a crash is inevitable A bit of metal has come loose on the truck and stabbed into the tyre The truck is hurtling downhill towards the edge of a cliff Youre suggesting hanging out of the truck and changing the tyre as it speeds towards the cliff edge at 120 miles per hour ps the truck is fully laden with a hundred tonnes of concrete, and the indicators are flashing like mad Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that there needs to be a huge communication strategy to keep fans quiet/happier during tough times too.

DC needs to either sell up to someone more football savvy or appoint a DOF to run the club, give him a sensible budget to build a good coaching and scouting set up, build a younger side with players that are hungry and ambitious and want to come to us not just for the money. Finally reduce matchday prices to get back supporters who have kept away especially in what is going to be a transition period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His goal was to buy a football club and get them promoted as soon as possible. It’s backfired, but I just can’t see him changing strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only challenge Chansiri is now bothered about us seeing how much of his money he can get back. Which means keeping us up by hook or by crook. If I was him I would’ve started by making it free tickets anywhere in the ground on Saturday for anybody that has attended a previous home match. An extraordinary gesture for an extraordinarily bad run. Try and create some goodwill, a buzz, some atmosphere. Instead it’s £33-£39 for non-members. clueless!

stowyowl Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I have no faith in the leadership of the club but I hope to be proven wrong. This summer is obviously massive for the club in terms of squad refresh with a large number of players out of contract. There's going to be a big issue in replacing them without too much money available. We should have been planning for this for months now, putting in place a long term recruitment strategy, targeting young and hungry players and those we know are available. I fully expect us to get to 1 July and start thinking then about finding some new players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
