The CEO should be public facing, talking to the media, issuing statements on the club website, setting the identity of the club and supporting the manager with financing player deals, creating a culture that runs throughout the club in every single department. All we ever heard from Katrien is she helped secure a Pop up store in Meadowhall. She left after just over a year in post. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Hmmm. When he took us over I said (probably in here) that we became at the mercy of an unknown and it would be a rollercoaster. He started well, albeit with the potg prices ringing faint alarm bells. Pearson and Roeder, not people I was big fans of but at least with a knowledge of English football, seemed to be guiding him and we were looking good. Albeit with some odd defeats thrown in. Second season, fletcher was expensive but kind of understandable. I admit to being delighted we signed Abdi. It was January 2017 when it began to go wrong: I honestly thought Rhodes was a daft signing when we could have addressed two other areas instead. If DC was genuinely swayed by fans wanting him then more fool him. I would love to know what caused CC to change his philosophy that season from high press, extra runners to a static approach. Since then... who persuaded him to appoint Jos? Can only be someone with his ear like the poisonous guy with the king off Lord Of The Rings. Inexplicable signings... brief sanity with Bruce’s team who I suspect had the experience and confidence to do it their way. Bullen strikes me as a loyal, if subservient employee. Monk... damaged goods who probably only took it as his reputation had been sullied. In short.... DC is probably well intentioned but has made monumental mistakes. I recall him saying we were going to be financially aggressive, but then cutting adrift all his football advisors. At the time I could hear agents and advisory groups rubbing their hands in glee. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 99.9% how I see things, the only thing I differ on is I was chuffed to bits we signed Rhodes. I also think FWIW that Paxo is a very dark subversive character who has made himself almost indispensable to Chansiri and not for the better.

This is a crossroad's for us now and the smart decisions now will pay dividends in a couple of seasons. Whether Monk is the man im not sure, im torn.

Kew Owl Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 So, Mr Chansiri - according to previous posters, you read Owlstalk. So, if you’re reading this, I would just like to ask you one simple question , please ? Why is it that well respected and relatively successful managers such as Nigel Pearson and Chris Hughton are, apparently, not interested in coming here to work for you as managers at your football club ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it came up against an EFL charge... Joking aside, I’m not sure how Cocu can invest in an EFL club when he is manager of one of them https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/thecelticstar.com/henrik-larsson-part-of-consortium-looking-to-buy-english-club/amp/ I reckon they want to buy a smaller club like MK Dons or Swindon. I think they wanted Wycombe last year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
