New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

Even if he was back - haven’t we made profit on most of the signings bought in whilst Sandro was here.

Don’t think Sandro was ever the issues - the problem was only signing a certain type of player - exactly what we doing again this window. Young, inexperienced players with potential upside we can hopefully flip in 2 years time.

Well, that was Sandro's doing, so was his problem.

Course he isn't

One thing i did take from the interview with Andrew Hawes that i thought was interesting, no one else seems to have picked up on it though was he said he has been in touch with his lawyers and they are TRYING to buy the shares back. Makes me wonder whether the fact Kieley does not seem to be around as much now indicate someone is changing their mind about handing shares back

I got a bit confused.

Probably need to listen again but I thought he first said it wasn't priority, then in progress, then what you said.  Might be wrong.

I guess trying could also be interpreted as trying to get the cash to.

what I don't think has been pinned down is whether there are preemption rights still exist. Can see the club being handed on to kiely and nice guy Eddie's Mrs and around we go again

Clem has flip flopped a lot on the buying back the shares thing. Gotta be a good six or seven times now.

[Jimmy HaveHave]

Is that because the share prices have since gone up!

[molepar]

Part of all these extra costs the club has seemingly found could be due to the new shareholders wanting to make a load of money by selling the shares back at a much higher price.

The Trust should be contacting them and giving them nice directions and a guide on how to use the magic roundabout.

Have reached out to them. Not that I expect it them to do anything with it.

Well, that was Sandro's doing, so was his problem.

Seen as we are still operating the same transfer strategy post Sandro whose to say it was his doing to only target a certain type of player.

Proffered the old method where the manager used to tell the owner what type of player he wanted rather being presented with one.

Agree. You employ a chief scout to help a manager assign targets then you do to the owner. Seems now a DoF and owner have chats and then see who a head coach likes.

In theory that gives an opportunity for consistency across managers.

But we change squad every 6 months. And the plan of being an incubator isn't working and won't meet fan expectation.

I wonder what happens when the manager is told to choose between X,Y, Z player when he doesn’t want any of them but has to to take one or miss out completely. Remember the Power/Sherwood debacle when Luke Williams had no idea what players were being signed in the January window.
