That interview. Good grief

It's... not ideal is it?

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

im yet to see it. its been on the AB deck every time but never mentioned.


are we potentially getting to the point where we need a further fans group, with zero club affiliation, to scrutinise whats going on/ not scared to ask the real questions. Hmmm

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

There is only so long saying ‘he saved the club’ will last.

Surely, looking forward, developing the CG is a complete waste of time for a club happy to remain anchored in L2.

No wonder there hasn’t been a fan’s phone-in during Clem’s tenure. Lot of awkward questions would need answering and most fans have an acute bullshit-o-meter.

Everything is in place except for the ambition.

There's no way the person giving that interview wanted to sign Charlie Austin.

In the club statement yesterday, Clem signed it off by saying promotion is still the aim this year.

But yeah, those sentiments aren't really coming from Sandro's mouth either

Considering we had John Sheridan at this club less than two years ago, it is impressive for Sandro to give one of the worst interviews I’ve ever heard in my life. If we’re just going to be a selling club in L2, content with pushing for play offs, what is the fucking point? Mention of someone with a track record of developing talent… how about a track record of success?

With Garner and now Lindsey both legging it, just what would constitute a reason for sacking a manager if promotion isn’t the primary objective?

the plan, the model, the philosophy. whatever name he wants to call it.

DOES NOT WORK IN LEAGUE 2. there are no transfer fees worth it to make it happen. league 1 yes. £5 million for scott twine shows that.

Clem wont do a phone in on his own as he is not that type of person, see him at the fans forum he sat happily for Rob & Sandro to answer the questions and just answered ones periodically.

Maybe a phone in with the 3 of them would be better, the problem is a lot of time on the radio phone's in's you only get a certain type of person phoning in so the tough questions would not be answered, and Shaun Hodgetts fields them as well.  Andrew Hawes during his interviews is not afraid to ask tough questions I find.

Anyone credible, selected because of their skillset, not because they’re someone’s mate.

This.

Hughton for me, but if for some reason not realistic then Artell isn't asking for much at all. Would also be happy with Manning.

If none of them then it better be a good looking appointment or Clems had a stinker.

Appoints Clem/Powers mate on the cheap and its going to turn very toxic very quickly.

and rightfully so, despite what all the "give him a chance" "get behind the team" "at least we've got a club" happy clapping merchants will say coupled with absolute disgust that people dare be unhappy with it.
