Two. A header title line followed by one sentence. It's still more than the cunt deserved but very glad it wasn't a glowing adieu. |

I think there is work to do before appointing another manager. I've been following at arms length this season, but it seems quite a lot of rot has set it.. poor football decisions, delayed appointments, poor fitness, poor transfers, etc..
getting rid of Sandro is a good start - I'd be looking at the contribution of Hart and Kiely and remocing them, tbh I'm not even clear who they are or what they do, but it sounds like they have influence on the footballing side. Then rebuild the fitness/medical(not sure if the two are linked) - no need for fancy systems - just get fitness/conditioning coaches and the tools they ask for.
Teams in all leagues buy young players, develop them, and sell for profit all the time - there is no need to go 'all in' on moneyball - it needs to be a well rounded squad where a good proportion of the investment goes to players under 25 but no restriction on getting in older players if that's what the team needs.
If Clem needs a Vice-Chair to be his eyes/ears and leader while he's in Aus - then appoint one that's going to add value and plug some knowledge/experience gaps. ZA can be given a free season ticket in the TE for his help, not free hospitality
then bring in a manager - just needs someone to get out of L2. The lifespan of a league manager isn't that long anyway - no need to be looking at the next 5 years when we talk about one manager appointment

BenTheRed - We absolutely need to get the non playing structure right. We have some time to do that, but not a lot.
I wonder if this has been obvious to the club since January, or whether only late into when the Morris appointment didn't work out. i.e. I wonder if this (Morris, Sandro) is already the start of some considered plan or reactionary.
I'm sure we all have a sense of dread that the whole thing is going to drag on for weeks.
But maybe it'll all be in place by the fans forum...

Maybe we should compile a list of questions and send in advance to be answered on the night, so we don't get any, 'we will have to look into that and get back to you' which means they will ignore it |

Or more likely will come up with a long winded PC answer that doesn’t actually answer the question or give you any information at all. |

https://twitter.com/tariqahmadbt/status/1654125646233358338Looks like the Vice Chairman Matchday Guest is being allowed to sign documents at the Foreign Office on behalf of the club. This is a serious fucking embarrassment at this point.

Surely a ‘match day guest’ shouldn’t have the ability to do this? |

No - this is how you get the Visa's sorted, by having an official sponsoring route within the UK. Chevening in this instance presumably meeting the UK side costs of any individual wishing to come over.
What we will likely never know, and it's not in any way illegal, is how much he makes from it personally for sourcing the "talent" and respective families that would likely trail.

While you can assume, we cannot be sure he is there to sign on behalf of STFC the business entity. He could well be there as an intermediary. |
