can they just clarify how many points we're adrift and how many games are left? It's not clear.

He comes across as a bit of a tool, again.

agree with DRS - talks sense, but sounds like he's as gobsmacked as we are about the level of performance.

I assumed this was going to be a thread about him walking.....so good that it isn't.
Managers often bleat about not being given time....and I think the Boards decision to grant Wilson longer was at the time correct. It's a shame he couldn't turn it around, but this is modern football....mercenary players who don't give much of a shit beyond their next contract.
This leaves us with the process of a massive summer clear out, and a wholesale reconstruction job for the new manager. It will at least be interesting during the close and pre season.

It's easy to be wise after the event - at the end of the day he must have backed Wilson's signings, in fact I suspect he probably played a strong hand in most of them as he clearly likes a good meddle - he's quick to jump on the players/management (fair enough!) but no acknowledgement of his own trainwreck of a season decision-wise.
The old cliche about put up or shut up springs to mind...

This is starting to really concern me. We've struggled in the recent past to bring in even a couple of decent players in postions that have required it, and particularly have often left things to the last minute. (Apart from full backs and central midfielders, we're pretty good at picking those up) The prospect of half the squad departing at the end of the season and us having about 12 players come the start of August has me more than a little worried. |

I think he's got a point. At the end of the day as a chairman you support your manager. If Wilson wants to sign a certain player you offer the funds to sign him. Sadly Wilson picked some shit and it's all back fired. I'd imagine Fitton was hoping investment into more players after last season would see us come on stronger. It all went wrong when Wilson started signing players in positions we didn't require players for urgently.

I was surprised when Prutton came in when we already had a midfield which was dominant throughout most of the season. Perhaps somebody as back-up, but not another first-teamer.
If it isn't broken, why fix it?

You've alluded to Fitton walking on a few other occasions as well - but why? Must admit I've seen nothing to suggest that he's even thinking about this. (Or is this your male intuition at work?) |

Reg likes to scare people. Don't you reg  To be fair Fitton himself has said that chairmen should not really be at the helm for longer than 3 years. |

I was equally baffled at his left back signings. |
