Sandro speaks - not once does he mention about getting a manager who can get us out the league. Same old shit about developing players and talent etc etc.

Fuck off

Just had a similar conversation with Venks,

I don't want us to turn into Crewe. Play the right way. young squad. Happy to sell to keep the lights on. Winning promotion as a nice to have bonus.

Fuck that. Its not for me.

He seems to be so misaligned with the fanbase. We're in League 2. The lowest we have ever been. This is not our level. Why can't he see that?

He does say new manager won't be this side of the weekend.

And that he's still signing players. With all of the football know how he has.

Admits Hutton has "had attention" but the Peterborough transfer with Tomlinson "is not something he's aware of".

Even if you want to do the selling club, developing players model, surely that's a million times easier to do in L1 where you'll attract better players, higher fees and have fewer nasty cloggy bully teams to make you look shite.

So does he tell the prospective manager that promotion isn’t the priority but would be a nice bonus behind selling players that have been developed. Can’t see many being swayed by such a lack of ambition - apart from those desperate for a wage or Scott Lindsey.

Not at all.
Really pissed me off that interview has.
I’m thankful for Clem for everything he’s done, but he really needs to start understanding that fans only really give a shit about winning games of football, and employing people like Sandro to contribute to that really isn’t going to work.

I've previously stated that I had been willing to give Sandro time to implement his plan/strategy, but what he's saying is all wrong and I'm concerned that it will cause us to be hamstrung to get the best manager to get us out of League 2. I'm inclined to agree with you here Aud.

hopefully the 1/3/5 years plan was discussed in the AB meeting. i'm sounding like a broken record banging on about it but without it we have nothing to benchmark where we are at any given point and what exactly the current regimes aims are.

This is going to be a divisive message on purpose:

On the football side, at what point in Clems tenure do we start to ask what direction the club is headed?
What's the plan?
If Power had pulled this we'd be close to riot.  
And yes, I realise we've not appointed a manager yet - so its a bit previous.

( The financial side, as far as we know, is a revelation and miles apart)

edit: seems Million Pound Man just asked this in a nicer way

What was the 1 year plan? We're at 2 now aren't we?

Sounds like what he was saying before Lindsey was appointed - which is rather concerning.

Anyone find the old interview and compare it

It would be nice to stop all this we want someone that can develop players, as in a winning teams players get developed and get noticed, and if those players are younger then they are worth that bit more.

You can see why some managers are put off if that is the spiel they are given about having to develop and sign young players then sell them and play keep ball, not creating a winning team being successful, getting promoted, putting down a marker as a team to be watched

We want someone that can be successful first and foremost and develop players along the way so that later on they get the opportunity to move and play at a higher level and the club benefits financially as well, not sign 10, twenty somethings and hope that 1 or 2 actually make it
