  2. Try Barney Ronay as an alternative: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/mar/18/supporters-should-blame-club-owners-not-the-rules-for-points-deductions
  3. But appointing him to a senior position in the first place was like promoting a long-serving middle manager to CEO.
  4. We don't have anything that could reasonably be described as a Board. Therefore there is nobody to challenge the club's decisions. Not something that most fans care about but the lack of good corporate governance is one of the fundamental reasons for our current state.
  5. You are starting from a mistaken assumption that Nigel was sacked for football reasons. When it comes to JL and BT logic does not apply.
  6. Again, nobody expected Coventry levels of spending. Nigel wasn't keen on spending big money anyway but he talked of getting one more player and I'm sure any target would have been in the affordable range.
  7. It's all very well taking time off Dave but surely you'll come back deconditioned? Better to spend your time on the grass. One way or another there's plenty of that in Devon.
  8. Doesn't really wash for me. It wasn't that we couldn't spend a bit more of the money raised (nobody was demanding we spend loads, least of a!l Nigel). Rather we were told we were building a nest egg for some unspecified point in the future. Which was code for not wanting to give Nigel any more.
  9. We can't compare with Coventry though because they sold players for big money. I thought we had done the same but Tinnion put us right on that. Our technical director certainly has his finger on the pulse.
  10. Except those above don't want to be galvanised, they want a compliant head coach who'll defer to Tinnion.
  11. A man of Weimann's admirable qualities has no place at a club run by a bunch of incompetent shysters. And I don't mean West Brom!

    Emotion

    He's been a success for me. I felt little or no emotion after today's defeat. Trust the process people, you'll all feel nothing after games in due course. These things take time.
  13. You mean their top end squad is top -ender than our top end squad?
  14. I've been a big fan of his since his Huddersfield days. I remember Nigel being very complimentary about him also. If I could take one coach from another club to take over here it would be him. No chance of course.
