Was wondering this to. Doesn't need to be all on one wealthy persons shoulders. Obviously need to trust the people you're in business with though. A consortium of wealthy fans would be an absolute dream.
The problem is truly getting rid of all the hangers on. Someone said earlier in the thread some are wanting a cut going forward which is simply unacceptable.
Jeremy is genuinely a nice guy. He comes across well with the press and I have every confidence in his ability there. However, when you look at Andrews time with the club, Jeremy seemed to throw money around without considering the consequences. This concerns me. What PdC wanted, he got. It’s not my money was clearly Jeremy’s route to success. This concerns me. |

Look guys, fires are being stocked. However, I pride myself on being fair.
If Clem can rescue this, fair play to him.
If he can’t, we still have to get him to sell.
This will be sorted.

Its fair concerns bathford and how a lot of people view where things went wrong under Black and co.
I do wonder how Andrew Black managed to take his eye off the ball so much and be so uninvolved that he didn't realise Wray was spending too much for so long though.
He must just be that incredibly rich and busy.
I think as far as leadership goes, having someone with a corporate background who is also a fan like Rob Angus is great (if he is actually allowed to run the club skeletons and all and not be blocked out of certain rooms!) but ideally you would also like to have someone with a bit of a footballing background as well.

Speaking of that era, Nick Watkins LinkedIn says he never left the club.
Some plot twist that.

Am I completely imagining that he was working at a club we played fairly recently? I have a memory of Andrew Hawes mentioning him being in the Director's box as an away team director, but Google doesn't seem to think so. |

Bradford sell ‘ticket slots’ which gives priority for tickets even over and above ST holders. Flogged 1000 @£30 apiece.

Makes sense given they sell so many season tickets for so cheap. Getting away tickets even in the season ticket pool must be a nightmare. What is £30 to make sure you get first dibs on away tickets when you're already paying next to nothing for a season ticket? |

we have good support, but it can't be that often people miss out on away tickets?
Can you imagine if the club suggested that now though 🤣

Bit different when the prices are as ours are. Yeah rare you'd miss out as a season ticket holder though. Wimbledon must have been a bit of a scramble. |

Moving back to Bathfords comments....
A good deal is mostly always a "willing buyer and a willing seller.
Tell me an instance when this situation happened at STFC. Always surrounded by sharks who wanted some blood.
Yes, great potential but with a price.

Interesting to see Newcastle struggling having started the same ten outfield players for five games in a row.
It does go to show that in the modern era you can’t get away with it. The players can physically do it (“in my day” blah blah blah) but when other teams have fresh legs you get found out every time.

Their away form is also so much worse than their home form which seems to follow a pattern. Maybe more tired when travelling or is that a stretch? |
