Title: Is Power trying to mirror the model of the likes of Pozzo and Jiang? Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Monday, April 10, 2017, 22:15:57 Interesting article which I didn't consider relevant to STFC, until I got to the quote below ..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39558702
Quote What kind of club is he taking over? It's obvious that Granada have been deeply mired in a painful 'transitional period' since last year's takeover by Jiang Lizhang. But in fact, the instability at the club goes back much further because former owner Pozzo - who is also in charge of Watford and Udinese - based his recruitment strategy upon an endless recycling of players between his three clubs. Although that strategy helped earn Granada promotion into the top flight in 2011 and has kept them (just) in the top division ever since, it is hardly an ideal recipe for long-term success when most of your best players are either on loan from - or destined to join - one of the owner's other clubs.

It comes up in this 25 page thread about Power.. http://thetownend.com/index.php?topic=56610.0 Title: Re: Is Power trying to mirror the model of the l Post by: Batch on Tuesday, April 11, 2017, 09:23:45 if Power isn't hereby at least occasionally referred to as the Poundland Pozzo the world is broken

I once saw Ron "Chopper" Harris leaving the Poundland shop in Regent's Street. That's the Swindon one. Not sure if the London one has a Poundland.

doesn't look like a parody though. Title: Re: Is Power trying to mirror the model of the likes of Pozzo and Jiang? Post by: Panda Paws on Friday, May 5, 2017, 08:21:34 Wait - a random fan page isn't allowed official access to football clubs, and we're surprised?
Probably wait for a bit more info (i.e. who is allowed?) before slagging Power off, I reckon. Title: Re: Is Power trying to mirror the model of the l Post by: Batch on Friday, May 5, 2017, 08:30:30 yeah, because he's got no history of doing it at any of the other clubs he had been at has he.

Post by: Panda Paws on Friday, May 5, 2017, 08:49:14 yeah, because he's got no history of doing it at any of the other clubs he had been at has he. I like our jousting. I'm by no means defending Power, or agreeing with his treatment of the media. I'm just saying we don't know anything yet, other than the fact an unofficial fan page isn't allowed access apparently, which is not extraordinary.

Post by: sonicyouth on Friday, May 5, 2017, 09:10:20 It's a fan run page on Twitter with 2.5k followers, it's not a ban but simply a declined request to chat to a youth coach. Hardly the same as banning all local or national media outlets.
Title: Re: Is Power trying to mirror the model of the l Post by: Batch on Friday, May 5, 2017, 09:13:08 no not the same, but a change in media policy as per our own club.

Hardly the same as banning all local or national media outlets. The tweet says all youth coaches across four age bands, so bit more than "a declined request to chat to a youth coach", does seem to be wider than that, if the tweet is true. |
