Popular Post Captain Scarlett Posted February 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2021 Looking forward to League One football next season. The chance of DC reading this and acting on it are somewhere between zero and nil. Why doesn't Biggs ask some pertinent question like who is actually advising DC ( you know who I mean ) and his actual role on a day to day basis at Hillsborough. Along with how much he is taking out of the club for wages and bonuses. And who is in charge of transfers and connected to agents. Those are the real questions that need to be asked. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wmb Posted February 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2021 It's really not rocket science is it. Sure there is an element of luck to any decisions and appointments etc but we really shouldn't be in this mess. Communication and structure is key. Some general rules i'd advise/follow if in his position. Appoint a CEO to run the club whilst your away. If you want an head coach to purely coach then appoint a DOF/Tech director. If you do then ensure they are compatible witheach other. If you want a manager employ one and give them full control over who comes and goes. Give appointed DOF/Manager/Head coach a mandate and make clear your expectations and targets to hit over multiple years (Make them reasonable). Agree a budget and stick to it. Don't get tied in to contracts with advisors. Set a fee that you would accept for your current players. Agree with DOF/Manager. Leave room for the value to fluctuate. Get players signed to contracts early. Sign your youth prospects up. If not look to move them on in good time. Average ticket prices out to match the rest of the league that you are playing in. They don't have to be the cheapest. Move prices up and down season by season dependant on your reasonable targets for the upcoming season. Communicate with your fans. If you aren't comfortable and are concerned about words being taken in the wrong way due to English not being your first language then appoint someone to do this for you. See point 1! Clearly set out your vision for the club to the fans, media and anyone else who gives a throw. Be honest, if the club needs to consolidate and rebuild explain this. it will save a lot of grief for you further down the line. Stay within the rules of the governing body. Be open to help from genuine football people. Don't crap on the values and traditions of the club you are responsible for. 19 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 It's a perfectly reasonable, logical piece, if a little obvious. I would also have liked him to suggest what / who is NOT needed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should send this to him under the headline “ how to run a football club”. It’s just so bloody obvious why can’t he see it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And most of it is the basic tried and tested methods of running a football club. But for whatever reason Chansiri doesn’t want to work that way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but suspect Biggs has as much chance of getting an answer as you or I. I think the other Star boys have explained that they don't have access to Chansiri, other than when he surfaces for his zoom rants along with everyone else. Probably because they have been more critical than others about his antics. Chansiri's mouthpiece is Howson, no other media sources have access and dont expect him to ask challenging questions to jeopardise that access.

More accurate than his ramblings about United last week to be fair. He stated United were 'speared' by a late Fulham equaliser at the sty earlier in the season in a game they should have won. The reality was United were 1-0 down, Fulham had missed a penalty and Utd were saved by the late VAR award of a penalty. Mitrovic then missed a sitter that you would back Colin West to bury but yeah Biggsy, Utd were unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - although the flip side is that , with no access to lose, he may as well ask open questions in his columns about Paxiao etc if only to keep it in the spotlight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's not like Biggs seemingly has any access to any inside scoop at Wednesday or has anything to lose in that respect so asking questions that the club might not like to be aired isn't going to set him back in any way as things stand. Maybe the paper he writes for takes editorial lead on what they publish in that respect though? The Star do still have access to Hilsborough during games, they do regular pre and post match interviews with management and players. Is there a chance that this access could be denied if the club take umbrage with what is published? It shouldn't be the case as it effectively leads to a sanitised coverage but it is what it is. Local press with decent inside access will be reluctant to push on something negative unless it becomes more common knowledge for fear of losing what access they do have.
