Summary of the Morris interviews above for anyone who doesn't want to listen:
- Felt he had a good relationship with Clem planning for next year, and then all of a sudden sacked with no real warning as they were planning for next season
Nothing hugely surprising there really, but puts a bit of meat on rumours.
Makes you wonder if it's another one of those Clem trusting other people too much scenarios again, Standings client Flynn becomes available around the same time as this. Potentially sold the world about Flynn or encouraged to help a mate out. |

Or it makes you wonder who called the shot on sacking Morris if Clem had a good relationship and was planning for next year.
All back to this idea that can't be shaken that its not really Clem that owns the club.

…or perhaps we were planning for next year & after we kept losing every week someone decided Morris was an complete fraud & keeping him for this season would have been an absolute shit show.

Is there a part 4 too? Sounds as if there might have been a little more that was Town related? |

Where there are so many f@ck ups happening at STFC you can only think that the worst is happening.
Just possibly it could be the total incompetence of the owner and not as so sinister as we all think.
Who really knows?
But surely these issues can't keep happening.

I’m still convinced that the main problem is not having anyone who knows how to run a football club.
The nearest we have had to this was Chorley, but since then there’s nobody.

A rudderless ship heading towards the rocks with a captain of questionable means and ability being dictated to by ‘invisible owners’ flying a flag convenience to keep the authorities at bay.

Need two types of football people. The actual sporting side (like Chorley) with a proper network of contacts, and also the administration side- a CEO with EFL experience who knows the rules and how to deal with the relevant authorities and other clubs.
Morfuni went with a fan from another profession and now someone from his maintenance business.

I'm with you on this PR. Plans 'written' with invisible ink and then torn up after 6 months to try something else. |

Is it deliberate? Keeping experienced people away who may expose the set up. Morris is spilling the beans.

Agree with this, sounds similar to the whole Austin saga doesn't it. Clem gets his man promises this and that then realises he cant actually do this and that Urghhh it is relentless at this club |

Obviously all opinion but wouldn’t be surprised. Look at the people we do have/have had in football positions, either people in the role for first time or people who probably wouldn’t get the same gig elsewhere. Experienced football people have the luxury of other options so are less likely to tolerate the sillyness of this club. |

It couldn’t cost much more, if anything, to employ a CEO with footballing knowledge than what Clem’s Aussie pal is getting.
So it does you make you think they don’t actually want anybody from the outside sticking their noses into what’s going on.

Clem was already paying Hall, so he’s saved himself a whole wage by using him as our CEO. |

Assume as AXIS UK was being closed he has decided to save himself a few quid in redundancy payments and employ them in a similar role at stfc as he liked them, regardless of them having any knowledge of how a unique way a football club works |
