Major Isewater Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 . “It’s their club, they should feel attached to it, they should know what’s it about, they should feel like people care about it.” Whoops , Daddy isn’t going to like that comment. 5 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 (edited) Thanks for posting. Had a quick skimread of it. Scudamlre involvement although nothing formalised or official is interesting, so is this. Not involved in the appointment of Manning, hmm? Involved in the sacking of his predecessor presumably but not the appointment of Manning? Edited May 17 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 wtf does any of this even mean? Believe it was @Harry who posted some verbatim quotes before, but Christ. Is he trying to say it’s good not having a ceo (even though we technically do) because all of them have egos? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical JL - go in with a huge generalisation or dig, e.g. egos in certain roles, and then back-track your way out when you (quickly) realise that includes Richard Gould. and this wasn’t live!!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 (edited) It just reduces my confidence about the near term future stuff like this. A less than coherent plan, structure- not even about the players or management so much although I think we are a bit under-resourced there too, we just seem poorly run, the structure is choppy, multiple cooks. I'm not wording it very well but just an underlying pessimism really. Edited May 17 by Mr Popodopolous 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it was @Harry who posted some verbatim quotes before, but Christ. Is he trying to say it’s good not having a ceo (even though we technically do) because all of them have egos? Ha ha. Yep, it was indeed me. All of his interviews just consist of generic gibberish. The words make no sense. But yes, in this case he’s dug himself a massive hole! Basically everyone in football has an ego and as a club we don’t want to deal with ego’s! Wow. I also think it’s hilarious how he says that we get the same message but from 4 different people. That’s funny, I’m sure all 4 of them said something different when Pearson left - they all had a different take on what they thought of our chances of promotion/playoffs. It’s admitted by himself in this interview - our model is completely different to any other club. Speaking of ego’s eh! How egotistical is it for us as a club, with absolutely zero relative success in 100 years, think we can do things differently and succeed. 20 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, he’s stating that successful, experienced and ambitious people who can actually help elevate this football club have no place here?!

I'm not sure of the nicest way to put it but Jon Lansdown IMO is inherently unsuited to the role that he is currently in. The interviews vary in quality and at least he is communicating but the underlying issue is wider I believe.

What people are discussing is what was said. That's fair isn't it? Or do you think just doing an interview is good enough - he could just stand there barking like a dog for 20 minutes and that should be accepted? 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Also, if he thinks first team managers and CEOs are the devil because “many of them aren’t attached” and “are just passing through”, wait until he hears about first team footballers!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wont employ competent and experienced people because apparently they’re in it for themselves! The irony of course being that Gould, the one for whom this was "his club" is the one who jumped when his dream job came along! Don't blame him for that one bit. Richard is a top bloke and the ECB is a vastly better job than BCFC. But it's not like he showed staunch loyalty is it!?
