MA is old news mate.. seems LJ wins a game and we pass the blame on. There was an interesting advertisement yesterday "real fans follow there team when ever" how many real fans we got?

reformed_red Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Personally, I'm not too sure why MA comes in for criticism. I was under the impression he was tasked with leading the team responsible for finding players, getting deals done for them, moving on players deemed surplus, and overseeing the corporate aspect of the club. (Apologies if I've got his role wrong). As far as I'm concerned, MA has delivered on his duties. I don't think he is responsible ultimately for sacking the manager, I believe that still falls under SL and JL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to feel like I'm blindly supporting a rich Sheik's racehorse at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAGa Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I think it was the right move for him not to go on tonight. Everything he says will have been scrutinised and it's not the right timing after a fairly positive turn of results over the last few games.

MA is LJ's boss so you'd think he could sack him but we all know, nothing happens without SL sign off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue steve Lansdown does his best to interact with the club. How often should we have fan interaction from the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often should we have fan interaction from the board? We should have fan representation on the board, that's my point! When SL 'wrote off' the debt he'd built up he diluted the share holding of all those fans that held some. It's at that point he should have structured it differently imo. He wants the best for the club but without fan representation we're just supporting a rich mans football club because it's called BCFC. This is why when people compare the BS model to Barcelona it really gets me pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 I really don't see the need for him to go on. It's just not helpful now. We know where we stand, SL is behind LJ and they've said that in interviews several times. Right now, surely the focus is on staying up? The club knows the stakes. The inquisition can happen at the end of the season, because if we go down, it's already too late for questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
