    Once more, I don’t and neither should any of you. This is a man who walked out on Oxford at the first team who showed some leg when they’d taken a chance on him following his sacking. He showed nil loyalty and jumped to a job he was totally unsuitable for without doing any due diligence. Yes, the board didn’t do theirs either but it cuts both ways - and “man is shit at job he’ll be recompensed handsomely for having shown nil loyalty to prior club” is not really high up on my sympathy list.

    I guess I just want him put out his misery (and ours). Not exterminated, just moved aside so we can move on

    Notes from it:

    - Matty James is fully training as is Twine. Williams not as yet

    - They’ve had some physically tough sessions which in turn develop mental toughness - have now given them days off as recharging is very important (at this point I believe I saw Jon Lansdown smacking his head against a wall)

    - The large volume of games we’ve not won or drawn we’ve been in them. The culture is good and it’s important to stick together

    - Questioned as to how much of the plan is set game by game and how much is based on how he’d like us to play. Answer was that the behaviours needed to be right, had to run and had to compete, but he very much sees football as cat and mouse (….sake) and if the opponents are struggling against us then they will change and it’s about having a culture when the players solve the problem and that’s the big bit. 
     

    (NB - major issue here. He’s right that opponents will change but the problem is he doesn’t and he can’t expect the players to solve the macro problems. They did when they went off piste vs Swansea but that’s in spite and not because of him)

    - Bit about the fans, the youth cup, nothing else major. New phrase is “we need to do us” which is very romcom.

    Not worth 8 minutes of your life.

    I'm guessing people will rightly see it as a brilliant gesture to raise awareness of an awful illness 

    I did wonder about its effectiveness if people can't tell who each player is during the second half of the game? But I get the sentiment.

    The ineptitude is quite staggering on the face of it. 

    The sacking of the CEO

    No one as the public face of the club. A Chairman who really doesn’t want to deal with fans and the media and won’t unless he absolutely has to

    A Technical Director who recommend a manager with no experience at being anything else than someone else’s assistant coach except a failed stint at MK which if I’m not mistaken got them relegated eventually and HALF a season at Oxford that had them challenging for a play off spot. 
     

    That same Head Coach brought in to take over from……blah blah blah… I could go on and on. 
     

    Everything at the club is beyond incompetence. It’s as if someone wants to destroy everything that has been built since 2015.

    The appointment of Johnson followed by Holden were bizarre. The appointment of Manning over Pearson and then the firing of all Pearson’s staff is utterly stupefying.

    Who the hell is calling the shots here? Why do we as supporters keep showing up to watch a side that does nothing but bear the name of the club we have all supported since children?

    The only thing I can think of is blind loyalty to an institution that only exists in our heads. 
     

    Just rename the club My Money My Choice FC and let’s be done with it!

    It’s beyond comprehension

    His job title hasn't changed, Dave. But his role i.e. what he actually does and is responsible for has evidently changed since the departures of Gould/Alexander/Nige. 

    Because in at least two of those three, you are losing experienced men with gravitas that can speak on behalf of the club.

    Now we have Tins and Jon! And Tins certainly can't be relied upon to perform a similar spokesperson role to that of a Gould or Nige. 

    Plus, the loss of those men means Jon is naturally expected to be more about the place to help fill the vacuum. 

    I think Richard Latham is right, Jon probably had one foot in Bermuda and now he's been called back by Steve to deal with a shitstorm. 

    That's the point I'm making. 

    which he made worse?

    How & why people go and watch England friendlies at Wembley I don’t know , would love to know how much it would cost just to travel from Bristol , pay for parking tube in from parking , couple of pints , bit of food , ticket for game etc etc to watch an exhibition game , I understand why people do it but not for me thanks 

    no one is forcing you babber

    I wonder why I bother with the coach down to Bristol to watch an ‘exhibition’ match at Ashton Gate.

    I agree don't think it affects FFP/PSR. It's just a case that if someone thinks that a 40% share in Ipswich is worth £110 million then that's their choice and their potential loss. I can think of a lot less risky options than investing in a football club!

    My first thought was Donald Trump! Overestimating the value of an asset for some reason
