No, not one or the other, just priorities. There are about 4,000 fans that will choose players first and one owner (+board) for whom a CEO is a desperate need to lighten their load. Both needs are fully understandable but the 4,000 will see more benefit from new players hence the bias.

Well you got that right. Better than nothing is the highest praise I can give. Never heard so many “sanctions” in a football commentary.
Did any RH turn up?

[cassidystash]

Still nothing for me. Radcliffe radio link working though.

[cassidystash]

Can’t see us.

According to the Radcliffe guy on the Iron hour podcast they wont be intimidated , no way will they come and defend it will be all out attack with each player trying to win their individual battles on the pitch .. so we might be in for a cracker of a game ..
0-0 its is then 5555555

Hope the score’s wrong IFA, bit ambitious with the crowd I reckon!!

[cassidystash]

If that’s as heated as it gets then we’ll be OK.

I fear you could be right,(not the KVV bit) but not cheaply I hope, should be a record fee for a NLN player. (No doubt Rene will advise the current record.)

[cassidystash]

Could be working his/her notice somewhere?

[cassidystash]

Is he in Mauritius or somewhere exotic as asst manager to the national team?

[cassidystash]

It’s not me.

It’s a forum to express opinions which may or may not differ. Can we agree on that?

Yes, you said ‘some of you’ but then twisted comments that I had made which, to my mind, made it specific.
It’s a platform for opinions and discussion, if we all thought the same the forum would die very quickly.

Thinly disguised abuse? Nonsense. Merely exasperated how some of you continue to criticise and nitpick even under the best ownership we’ve had for donkeys, top of the league having just won 6-0. Fine to suggest Butler isn’t brave, whinge about appointing a CEO like it’s unheard of by a football club and complain that anyone who shows some exasperation is abusing? Yeah, right.

No need to post 3 times to make a point surely.
Firstly I have not criticised the new owners, I think they’re doing a great job. I merely expressed an opinion which differs from yours.
Secondly I never accused Butler of not being brave, I asked a question.
Thirdly I did not whinge about appointing a CEO, I expressed an opinion that players would be my priority.
No nitpicking here just using the forum for what I assumed was its purpose.

[cassidystash]

Forgot to mention, I thought their 21 was very good in a poor side.

[cassidystash]

T’other way round for me sadly. I never thought my team scoring would disappoint me but I went 5-0.

Still don’t like 3 CBs but what a difference it makes playing the WBs further forward, 2 up top and Beestin in MF. Shows much more attacking intent, is Butler brave enough to try it in away games?

From memory (not necessarily the most reliable) he passed forward 4 times and found an opponent with 3 of them. His sideways and backwards are largely faultless. His pointing immaculate. His 1 shot is best forgotten.

[cassidystash]

Looks like Maxi’s taking one for the CB team.

[cassidystash]

Clearly not the one where they consider the merits of different formations?

Haven’t we just spent the summer recruiting players?
So hardly prioritising a CEO is it?
We still have the spine of last year which failed us ,same pointless/pointing captain and ridiculous child up front . We cannot sack them and only have so much budget, thankfully a few overpaid players left .We could attempt to buy the league and fail like awaywego’s mate did and let the club rot.

Summer recruitment provided 1 regular starter and, as you point out, we therefore have mainly last years first XI. If promotion is the aim (and we all hope it is) then do we have the players to achieve that, they didn’t last year. So it’s not hard to argue that additions are required to achieve that and we are told that funds are available, how many points will the CEO win us?

Never mind what he’s done before – can he play CB?

He will, his long throw is keeping him in the team.

[cassidystash]

OK, I admit it, I’m a grumpy old b****r. I reckon I’m entitled to be and I voice my opinions based on what I’m seeing. I get frustrated, occasionally angry, when I see the blindingly obvious seemingly invisible to those that count. I know we are under serious financial constraints and I understand why but prioritising a CEO over players I do not understand. I hope it’s not Jim, sorry James, Rodwell – surely we learnt from that fiasco. It seems we have a totally inflexible manager, inexperienced but seemingly unwilling to learn. He’s new, he’ll make mistakes but must learn from those. To be clear – I don’t want him gone, I really want him to succeed, the club needs it.

It’s not “close” though is it? Close is the next day or two otherwise why say anything. Not as if the fans are pushing for a new CEO, players on the other hand….

[cassidystash]

A couple of weeks ago we were close to appointing a new CEO, what happened there.

Yes “We’re still in a strong position”
BUT not as strong as the position we were in a few weeks ago.
