Some in-depth questions please.

Clarify PP payments.

Ross and his future.

How much does he ideally want to keep when he inevitably sells the majority of his ownership.

Why is Mev sticking it to the fans when it's the manager who has underperformed despite unbelievable support all season having watched 19 draws and worst league finish in the history of the club.
What do you want him to say about Ross which he hasn't already
 

Would be interested in his thoughts on our style of play. He sees every game so surely can't be impressed
 
He made a completely unnecessary comment about how many Sunderland supporters were there when the interviewer reasonably said that a club of our size shouldn’t be in League One. Methven got all Flashman and was quite clearly pissed off with the fact that we hadn’t sold out. No empathy whatsoever for people who can’t afford to make Wembley twice in the space of a couple of month. He’s from a different world and his mask well and truly slipped yet again
I just heard it! Unbelievable! Our fans have raised to everyone of one 'Charlie's Challenges'. He can fuck off.

Why does Methven issue “rallying calls” when it’s clear he doesn’t give a toss about the fans other than as cash cows?
 
Will cattermole, Oviedo, mcgeady, grigg and any other high earner be sold ASAP?
How desperate are the club for investment? Are we going to be paying the likes of Kone’s wages when they return considering they didn’t want to train with us?
Has Ross promised the board the title next season and, if not, why?
 
Hasn't said much wrong at all
He basically said Charlton deserved to go up because they sold more tickets than us. Charlton deserve to go up because they are a better team than us and have a better manager. They have also recruited better than us. But they are problems that we can place at the clubs down and they are their failings. Better to use ticket sales as a way to deflect blame from themselves.
 
On the Jack Ross / second season syndrome. I'm not one for chopping and changing managers but for a club like us in League One we've seen far too many draws, not been able to put teams to the sword after going one nil up, we are playing often with only one (slow) striker and depending on worldies from Aiden and Charlie too much. Negative cagey tactics and formations will not 1) win this league 2) put bums on seats

What have we learned from the last season? and specifically what has Jack clearly demonstrated to you in terms of lessons learned and plans for next season and shown you that he is the man to take us into the transfer market, close season and be on the touchline in August?

Not there but talking to one of the lads who is, they gave their support to Ross so sounds like no change there.
