parsboi Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I just don’t see how they can justify him staying after their statement was pretty clear that the manner of the relegation was displeasing. Now that’s all on Hughes. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but I suspect our new CEO fresh from Celtic, Man City and Notts Forest, isn’t that impressed by seeing 3 defeats and a draw in last 4 games, all with negative football. Cook, in his first interview, spoke about how he trebled season tickets at Forest. He will know fine well that keeping Hughes in charge (regardless of whether it would be the right decision or not) will result in disastrous season ticket sales and therefore smaller budget for the season. Im clinging onto the hope the reason its taking a bit longer, is because there is a huge restructure underway which dictates why it’s taking that time. Its the hope that kills you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 8th place has to be the hope for next season if the clown stays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Not to sound like an attention-seeking ‘itk’ w**k but apparently a lot of staff at the club heard that Hughes is staying yesterday when they were in the club office. I thoroughly hope this rumour is proven to be absolute pish. But the longer the silence from the board continues, the more scared and likely to believe this stuff I get.This has actually put me in a foul mood [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Genuinely be lucky to shift 800 ST’s if they keep that clown. An incredible own goal if they don’t do the right thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An incredible own goal if they don’t do the right thing. How’s the maths look? What’s the cost to launch Yogi versus losing X ST’s times their net value? It’s easy to say keeping Yogi would cost us say 800 ST’s times maybe £300 per, so that £240,000, but the money from ST sales isn’t all gravy. It is true, however, that the net income from a single ST sale is probably much smaller as the total number drop versus when they climb. In the end, the new CEO has to take a hard look at the value both ways. Maybe the plan is to keep Yogi around until ST sales are about to start and punt him then. It makes no sense from a team building perspective, but it would potentially supercharge ST sales…and cash is king. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then appoint a manager the fans believe in will boost them again. The earlier its done the easier for any new manager to decide who they want to keep and get new players in. This would again help with sales.Holding off as you suggest would be pointless and harm the teams chances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually do an early bird offer at current prices but they may be deciding how to price it given the drop down... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Sponsorship will be affected if he stays, as surely some sponsors either won't think it's worth it for such low crowds or won't want to pay as much for such low crowds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Cowden gone. Be a very long before we play them again, if ever, you'd imagine (watch as we draw them in at least two of the cups for 22/23!). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no sense from a team building perspectiveThink you’ve just answered your own question there. Make no sense to hold off sacking the manager and waiting for the right time. If you decide you’re going to sack someone, you do it when you’ve decided that’s what’s best. It’d also be daft to wait weeks to sack him whilst other clubs are appointing new managers and making signings. The Club need to announce it very soon, if he is going. Cook et al said their focus is on rebuilding relationships with the fans, keeping us all waited in announcing how our coaching and playing staff looks for next season won’t help that one bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubbychops Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 If they keep Hughes then that midweek statement will join a long list of bizzare actions by our board. It was a damning assessment of the end to our season, showed no support for the manager and promised change. If the then keep one of the biggest problems at the club then it will be a complete piss take and insult to the fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
