Blame Me Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 14 minutes ago, Springfield said: After the last few years, not in the least bit concerned that there is little communication coming out the club. As said the new guys are only weeks in and will have there work cut out with the new management team, existing players contracts and loans /transfers. Let’s give the guys a bloody chance. Isn't that what we employed a DoF for? The club "employs" a lot of staff yet there appears to be a heavily centralised management structure in place. Who ultimately sets the direction and who is the public face of the club - Jamie Swinney, Chairman X, Rawlins duo? Let's be honest, the new board weren't taken by surprise by their appointment as they'd lobbied for their inclusion previously. I dare say they didn't base their position on a wing-and-a-prayer so must've had a plan or vision ahead of taking the roles. I understand there has been compromise but what have they managed to effect so far based on their aims? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being ITK or a ITK patron, my point was ( I’m speculating) the new guys will need time to put in place changes that will bring stability back to the club. I for one don’t have an issue if it’s taking longer than some on here want…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're a club in free fall then something needs to happen quickly to arrest that free fall, yes? How much longer should we give them - when we are in League 2? We are only 4 points above the relegation play off place, we need decisive action now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And such a viewpoint sure as hell isn't "hysteria", or anything even approaching it. Exactly! Excluding fans who queued for hours from a ballot and labelling them hysterical for wanting Holt out seems to be the new way though. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were plenty of tickets so no need for anyone to queue for hours. 2. Should it be first come first served for every home game under restrictions? How are people who aren’t able to get down to the stadium or who don’t live locally supposed to get a shot of seeing a game (which they’ve already paid for, by the way)? 3. How is it in any way relevant to the fans feelings about Holt. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes some decisions need made quickly like appointing a new management team, giving said management team a budget and dealing with all the skeletons in the closet .So I'd rather they were concentrating on them than putting out statements telling fans who we aren't signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing relevant is how his employers feel and they have obviously assessed and feel he is doing a good enough job to remain in role and take us forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's conflating two different things with what some posters are actually asking. "Skeletons" doesn't preclude small improvements to the running of the club which, by now, should be rippling through. As it is it there is no discernible difference from before and after the AGM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you'd rather they spent time telling folk who we aren't signing than ensuring that the club has the right people on the board , is financially solid and not going to go bust and that the manager has a budget to spend in January? Each to his own I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping him in his post will have a detrimental effect on us remaining financially viable, and having a budget to buy players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
