Tongue in cheek. Mostly.

The similarities are there though - he has influence over the running over the club, repeatedly declines interviews, own chairman doesn't understand why he isn't praised by the fans and the statement on Thursday will no doubt be just like the Diamandis interview years back and nobody is going to believe a word of it.

Jed and Power were fools for not wheeling him out long before his official announcement and then compounded that foolishness by having Sangita fucking Shah do interviews while Power continued in the background. Our own natural scepticism as Town fans notwithstanding, that is going to raise suspicions amongst football fans.

I think the new board and chairman would have benefited a lot if they had Jeremy Wray on board for a bit,even if it was a temporary basis.
He knew the club inside out.

- Roof on Bank 'in for planning'. No timeframe.  No


Well it wasn't on the on-line system 5 mins ago when I checked so either this is total bollocks or only submitted in last few days.

This was stated at the meeting in the Legends a month ago.  So somebody is telling porkies!

Listened to some of it. Wasnt overly impressed. Jed seems to like short quick answers to questions that could do with explaining a lot more.

Wray's ability to spend a whole seasons budget by January (or whenever it was), along with his total failure to say no to an employee's every single request, should mean he won't get another job in this industry.

He was bloody good on the communication side and most things non footballing related mind you.

Jeremy Wray's error of judgement was in failing to see that Andrew Black might pull the plug.  Had AB stayed on, Wray's strategy (spend like buggery to get us to the promised land of the Championship) would probably have worked.  And had it done so, he would have become a back office legend.  Hindsight is wonderful.  In the context of a club backed by Andrew Black and managed by PDC, Jeremy Wray's handling of club affairs was probably about right.

As soon as Andrew Black did pull the plug, though, the strategy was finished and the gamble - because, ultimately, that is what it was - would leave us horribly exposed.  It is a great irony that, having rescued the club from a terrible mess in 2007/08, the Black/Fitton administration would leave us with another when they exited little more than 5 years later.

It is, why the hell would we praise Power? he's acting very shady in the background, it comes across in my opinion that he's getting rid of the experienced players, getting all these spurs loanees in and making us have a team of kids, telling managers who to sign and creating a circle of trust hence why Cooper will probably be appointed as any other guy who isn't a yes man wouldn't stand for it.

Plus it appears that he could be telling the manager what style to play, it's like he's running everything, I don't like the setup and the sound of things.

His reluctance to talk just makes things much much worse!

I was listening in the car and got funny looks.....constantly shouting fuck off at the dash.....

What fucks me off is they expect us to swallow this bullshit.

Glenn Hoddle....roof on the Bank....Kevin asked me for a meeting and we sat down and he said ' it's not for me!'........fuck off...all bullshit...

At the moment we are all disillusioned and narked..... we start getting dicked and it start to get nasty.

What's so unbelievable about a roof on the bank?

And what did he say about Hoddle that's so unbelievable? He refused to give comment didn't he?

It's in for planning....er....no it's not because we can check.

Manager: the truth is ....if Cooper wins a couple in the next six the jobs his.....if not they scrabble about for someone cheap when we are on par points with Coventry.

Hoddle? Fuck off!

I really don't get it....

They are 'feeding us bullshit' because when asked about Hoddle, he essentially says 'no comment'

Scraping the barrel much?

Ok FH.....Hoddle is coming.....I accept that....good....I'm surprised.

Talk me through the roof on the bank planning application and KMac waking up one day and saying ' it's not for me!'.

We ALL know we had to sell, we ALL know we had to make cuts ...the club had to just to survive but dont play us for cunts because we are seasoned vets when it comes to BS.......hence why I will be standing in the same old TE this season.

Been there, seen it and made the T Shirt!

I don't know enough about the planning permission thingy and I don't know what discussion was had with KMAC. If it transpires he is lying then he is an arse.

Who the fuck said Hoddle is coming?
