If he walks the walk half as well as he talks the talk then he sounds like a real asset to the board and the club.

I think he's class in this. Most of what he's saying should have been the focus and strategy of the club at least since we dropped from the Prem if not years earlier.





It'll be sod's law that we finally have someone with a vision of how a sustainable club should be run only for new owners to come along with their own men. I personally hope that whoever takes over from Donald strongly considers keeping Jones on board.
 
Agreed, it's definitely worth a watch for anyone who hasn't seen it. Nice to hear that Embleton is looking good in training as I'd love for him to have a breakout season.

We need to see evidence of his words in action though, not sure if signing the likes of Obrien/Matthews back up the sort of things he talks about in the interview and Danny Graham definitely doesn't if he ends up signing. I'll judge more at the end of the window because it sounds like they're hoping they'll add more quality then.
 
He seems a top bloke and has done a lot of content for SAFC since coming in but I doubt he’s got much say at the club.

I think Donald approached him for the first time on the Saturday and he was starting on the Monday so seems like he’s there to take the flak off Donald.
 
He sounded pissed off about losing some of the academy lads and said they’ve looked into changing things. Also said the owners were surprised and taken back that they were so vocal. They said the first two months they were frustrated they weren’t taken seriously but eventually pushed their way onto the board. Upset the Apple Kart. Wonder if that’s why Coton and Hill fked off.
 
You can be a polished communicator whilst delivering a bullshit message. There was substance to a lot of what he said and at least he was knowledgeable and has a decent idea of what's needed which is an improvement.

As I said whether it can be implemented is the acid test.

The piss take party stops here etc.

But aye, I've pretty much agreed with what you've said there in a follow up post.
