Eh? On what basis do you presume that?
On the basis that there must be a little bit of negative in anything. Seriously though I assume its based upon the collapse of the programme company although I thought i read that Power was not involved with that company by that stage? |

It appears the make up of our squad is the only thing we need to be concerned about then at the moment... glad the meetings were a success!

Well, whether he was or was not, I could see that might make a few commercial directors a bit reluctant to deal with him again if he came trotting up offering a fantastic deal on programmes, but hardly "a pariah in the rest of football, which he'll have to go a long way to overcome" |

Was it made clear what had happened to Crouch? Why didn't that go through?
No it wasn't mentioned. |

Seems encouraging then. This aside there have definitely been some positive steps in the last few weeks: clearing out the hangers on from the board being the main one, as well as dodging Hall (albeit I still don't buy the claim that this was by choice). There are still some reservations and it's still early days, as has been said, but at least there is a settled boardroom and a clearly communicated vision now. Plus the fact that they aren't proceeding with the legends plans (regardless of whether its the 'right' or 'wrong' decision) suggests they're willing to listen to the fans. My outlook has been upgraded to cautiously optimistic.  |

Can any one who attended give a brief summary of what came up in the 'Q+A', I presume it moved away from the corporate annexing of half the Legends that dominated the previous night?

Does this renewed slight optimism from some mean we can retire the Harbinger of Doom MonkeyTM yet?
Upgrade him to a Messenger of Mediocrity at least?

There was no Q & A as such....questions were being asked throughout the presentation. In fact it too about 40 mins to get off the first slide!! Steve Murrall made it clear from the outset that he wanted to answer questions about anything and everything, and he would like people to feel free to interrupt....which they did, freely!! About changes in the boardroom...there was a sideways comment that simply said changes were made when it became clear that particular individuals had nothing in particular to offer; and they are now happy with the four board members they have. |

Blimey. I was working all day yesterday so couldn't check in to see what was going on, then conked out when I got home last night.
To look on here this morning and find positivity is fucking weird. You're all scaring me.

Appears positive but it was always going to be. We've been here before too. Time will tell

Or do away with it completely and have Chang's Chat or Chang (go)-ri-la? |

I am a little more optimistic as people have seen the whites of their eyes when presenting the documents and attended an event where it appears a lot of questions were answered and not dodged. Ultimately I (and any others who didn't attend) cannot really comment as we didn't get the context, but does seem a little pleasing and positive. |
