I realise that most (nearly all) posters on here, display a considerable amount of healthy cynicism, so I am probably preaching to the converted in my diatribe below.
They say that getting old makes you more cynical, and in my experience that is true, (heaven alone knows what the future holds for young Herbie on that basis!), so it may be just me and my age, but I am far from happy about the way this club is being run.
After 3 wins, some fans are already talking of promotion. On that, I would urge extreme caution.
If MGW is recalled in January (which is quite likely), from where do we get a similar replacement?
This is in no way a moan about the appointment of Hecky, Stu and Jack. If they get us promoted this year, or next, they will have worked miracles. In fairness to them, I think fans’ expectations should be tempered.
There is, apparently no money. Why? Where has it all gone? As someone who studies publicly traded companies for a living (hobby), and possesses a logical mathematical brain, the figures don’t add up. I don’t believe any of the rather woolly explanations given by the Board. I have my own views as to where it has gone, but as I have no access to any proper figures and the Prince appears to have a very strong legal team at his diposal, I am saying nothing more on that subject - except to say, I am extremely cynical.
The owner talks a good game; the Chairman most certainly doesn’t. As the owner appoints the board, then he is responsible for its actions.
We have already lost two very good managers, apparently through promises made and then reneged on. That is not the way to run a business of any sort! I have absolutely no faith in the CEO or the rest of the Board, and until they are replaced, I fear that long term, our club is going nowhere except, possibly, “doing a Wednesday”.
I sincerely hope I am wrong, but fear the worst. Rant over (for now).
