No worries :-)
I asked for an update on the 5/10 year plans and Rob and Clem are still working on them, will update when they are complete and they will be published in the AB minutes.
Great, thanks They will be used to breast to the club by some, but if you are sane you have to assume 5/10 plans won't run smoothly. That's true of everyone, everywhere.
They do at least provide an intent though.
Exactly, its football at the end of the day things arent going to go exactly as planned- would be boring if it did. Its definitely about the intent though- times are hard, fans are backing the club in numbers on the understanding we are going for Promotion. The actions in the transfer window suggest otherwise. |

I mean I'm not expecting the club to say 'yeah promotion is going to be tricky, but we have to keep the lights on somehow'.
But it would be good to know why we are ignoring a large part of the recruitment market. If it's financial, which is the only reason I can think of, so be it.
Whether what we have can work will be largely personal opinion right now

Just to confirm.
Some say this is normal.
Unfortunately with our history we are bound to be asking questions.
The minutes for the next meeting hopefully will give us a few answers.

Outsourcing professional services is the norm in literally any business, and I suspect will become even more common in lower league clubs who don't want the on-costs of employing such staff on the books. This is half of the problem whatever the club does the default setting is now suspicion and trial by social media. |

Hopefully you are right.
When it involves characters of previous dubious behaviour the alarm bells ring a bit.
That's very unfair without knowing anything I admit. People change

Maybe this is why Chelsea don’t want Brand to leave
‘ Jon Harley has today left his role within the Chelsea Academy to become assistant first team coach at Portsmouth.’

Hart has been conspicuous by his absence as well hasn’t he?!
Think Hart is still here, plus he wasn’t ever in the dugout this season from what I remember, Mcfarlane however definitely has been- he’s a unit. Guessing he’s been working with Lindsey and co at Crawley last few weeks. We’ve got two S&C guys listed on website, one of them was there on Tuesday I think. |

So Chelsea think he's going. Makes you wonder how we’ve fucked this one up so far. Last in a long list of tin pot admin.

I reckon it's a 10 Things I Hate About You type situation - someone has decided we can't finalise the Brand appointment until Reece Devine is fit to play.

Seeing the back of the current s&c arrangement would be a good thing. Yes?
Given that Morris has raised concerns about fitness?

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!
