He’s the Chairman not the chief exec. You wouldn’t expect a Chairman to be getting daily updates on contract discussions (just when decisions to be made/updates at board meetings).

Football chairman is nothing like a chairman in a regular business. They are typically much more involved and he's the owner's son, if he doesn't know exactly what the picture is with the finances why is he there at all?

You'd expect anybody in his role to know roughly what was going on and be able to give an update even if it's a fairly bland one. 3 minutes ago, Monkeh said: And if he announced it on national radio breaking the trust of the player he would be in even bigger trouble I don't think anybody suggested detailing contract discussions on the radio so I'm not sure why you're arguing against it.

See above. The bland response was no change to previous public statement - contract discussions ongoing. Nothing to see here.

Packman Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Sounds like he put a lot of work into the new kits and the Ashton Gate 8 artwork etc so fair play to him for that. He's done a great job imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
