I have a more open mind and trust the board. No. You don't have an open mind. You trust the board implicitly. That is not having an open mind.

The candidate will be chosen for us and all be can do is support or revolt. I choose support and rather think that you will eventually come to the same conclusion.

The same person who in all but name heads that board board that appointed johnson Jr millen cop-out o'dismal mcinnis all failures, I wouldnt trust them to chooses between dogshit and a chocolate bar, And im considered a happy clapper.........

I am leaning towards reason whilst some on here are allowing their judgements to be clouded by passions or appetites. OK then. Take 'passion' and 'appetite' out of it and turn it into a hypothetical. If a club, let's say Derby (as we have no emotional tie to them) had said they were looking for someone to take them to the next level and bring a breath of fresh air into the club, were then linked with a few high profile names that fit the above criteria but then took 5 weeks to end up appointing someone internally, would you say that looks like what they were planning all along?

Phileas Fogg Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 7 minutes ago, RedorDead BCFC said: Ok if I concede that one, who else is there? Lloyd Kelly was academy who LJ brought in then dropped. Kodjia was not really anything to do with LJ, we got good money for him because Villa was chucking money round like idiots. Webster was a good find but it was not expected to be that much and did have a lot of injuries previously. How many have we really actually developed? It’s been done to death on here so I will just give you a short answer with a few examples.. You forgot Brownhill which is another big success. Webster obviously a huge success. Kelly was academy developed but still was blooded under Johnson so another one for him. If Diedhiou or Eliasson leave for profit (which under normal circumstances they would) both of them. Not our player of course but Abraham left here a better player. I really don’t understand why some refuse to give Johnson credit, it was right he was sacked but he clearly developed us some players. People should be objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of who the board choose. Do you think 5 weeks to still not choose anyone with preseason starting back in 4 days time?

It strikes me you're just being difficult for the sake of it. You may well think that, but what if the process was to define the job, invite applications, interview, sieve and then do further interviews, take late applicants and add them to the process - only to find out that after all that work the best candidate was the previous number 2. If that was the case, would it be reasonable to select that individual at the end of the process? 3 minutes ago, Superjack said: Well... if you believe some of my exes...

The process may well have been that but it doesn't change what the owner set out as the criteria at the start. If you can't see that for whatever reason along the way that changed then you're just being deliberately obtuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Red Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 I don't know about anyone else but I'm looking forward to what tomorrow brings. Does anyone know of an event in history that occurred on the 7th August that the media team can tenuously link to a player or former player of ours. I'm going to go for Independence day for the Ivory coast with an image of Kodjia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
