I only renewed my SC because this years was paid for by previous years credit. I have so far been to SoL twice this year and we were woeful, watched a couple online and will not be wasting my hard earned cash to visit any time soon. The new owners are showing no more enterprise than previous owners and we have lost our way yet again. We are a L1 one club now with a big ground, no more and no less, and not a particularly good one. The right time to bin manager was at start of last international break and he should have been binned. Hopefully owners are looking for a new manager now.
 
Amazing how all these threads were strangely missing until we start losing or playing poorly. KLD, Speakman, recruitment team. All are f***ing dreadful all of a sudden.

We are all frustrated and the manager is rightly being question as they always are, but grow the fuck up and exercise some bloody patience man.

we will get there with this owner, and id rather have him than the filthy murderers up the road
 
Madrox owning 40%, the club trimming costs again this season on the playing squad, the owner talking about being self sufficient (in league 1 with a cat a academy). I'm just not convinced things have changed enough.

We're trying to get promoted on the cheap with a bunch of kids. There was always going to be problems and the manager was always going to be the first person to fall.

KLD does still have an opportunity to show a bit of ambition in the club now and in January to show hes serious about promotion. I suspect we'll be disappointed in that. And hes going to be very disappointed next year when we're getting sub 20k at the stadium.
 
What's the point in spending good money on players. They'll all be injured by February if Johnson's still here.
Two things, one we are bringing in far too many players with too many injury problems, the other is the training is that the cause. Whatever it is s big ptonlem and needs sorting. Mind the pace and strength that has been sorely needed has not been addressed. Cheap, cheaper and chealer still is the way here.I found out the score last night at 10:30, I didn’t know there was a game, interest is nit a fraction of what it was a decade ago.
 
Prove your the right owner of this football club please. You really need to step up now and show your ambition for this club. I'm sick to fuck of owners and who love the thought of owning our football club but don't have any ambition or any intention of spending money

It's time to act and show your ambition in getting out of this f***ing division, it's 4 years now and we are sick of it


He has already said he is not worried if we dont go up this season blah blah. Never agreed with that view.

Well he hasnt had to put up with this league for 4 f ing years.
 
@riffraff I think you and I have clashed on here a few times...but your post above is one of the best ever on this site-ive probably written 1700 posts trying to articulate the view you do in the above post and failing-well done!
That’s the first sensible thing you’ve posted since you arrived on here. Keep it up.
Anyone know if he still attending games?
Would you?
It’s like our dear friends up the road, if things seem to good to be true, they usually are. Genuine wealthy and ambitious backers just go in for the whole club, these 2 are still stinking the place out and you can tell as the stench of mediocrity is still circulating the club. Perhaps us failing every season isn’t as bad as appears from a financial point of view, going up requires investment, in league one the overheads are lower and they know 30,000 people will always flock to see them. Perhaps the club have no real desire to get promoted?
Twas the default position of NE football until Hall and Gibson turned up. A Mexican standoff of mediocrity. Nobody move and nobody gets hurt.
They will never disappear until we reach the Championship at a minimum, they want a big profit and know that sooner or later we will get promoted to the Championship.
I’ve said since just before the KLD deal went through when it’d become clear they’d still be around that they’re after a one year tour of the PLs boardrooms before dissapearing. Unless of course Oxford are up for grabs.

How do you know we will get there with this owner ?
 
There are serious questions to be asked of him for keeping Johnson after last season's collapse and even more questions to be asked after keeping him after the Rotherham and Sheffield Wednesday games, but if Johnson is still in the dugout for Saturday then KLD is proving that he has absolutely no ambition for this club whatsoever.

Starting to get far more concerned about him than I am about Johnson.
This lad (KLD) is not reacting to knee jerks the way I see...Not for one minute do I think that there is nothing going on behind the scene to change LJ...My guess is that he will have seen enough for himself and there will be a contingency plan made ready. At least, there should be..

A contingency plan should be in existence permanently. We should have a permanent shortlist for every job at the club. If Johnson leaves then the morning after the new feller arrives a new one should be worked upon.
 
I'd love an owner with some ambition to actually get out of this league.
I think he has.
I also think he wasn’t responsible for Johnson’s recruitment. I think Johnson is Methvens choice that KLD rubber stamped.
Now that it’s KLDs decision alone is the time things could get interesting. He’s our first non British Isles owner apart from Short who had no knowledge of the game. KLD is a football obsessive steeped in the game from an early age. He won’t want a firing boss rep at such a young age, Bob Murray acknowledged he let McMenemy hang around too long as he’d nivver fired a manager before. Once KLD is blooded he’ll be ok I reckon.
I was banging the drum for Rangnik on here about 15yrs back when we seemed ambitious. I was praying Julian Stephan resigning from Rennes last season around the time KLD took ower here wasn’t a coincidence. I’m hopeful KLD has a few similar cards up his sleeve for when he feels he needs them.
Im not worried about the long term as I know our limitations as regular PL mid table is achievable. It’s the short term I’m worried about…..even more so since what’s happened up the road.
another ecellent post from you....are you cribbing from me :)
I’ve been banging on about a Manager/DOF/AcademyHead/Chief Scout/Scout/PPG/transfer profit etc etc database being established away from the clubs buildings for the owners eyes only for decades anarl. There’s no point in looking for VFM on the pitch if you’re not looking for it off the pitch anarl.
A rolling one and for every person in key positions within the club, players , coaches ,even the likes of Speakman etc
Aye. The employee keeping the data reqd to draw it up shouldnt be anywhere near the AOL or SOL. They’d be like a grim reaper in a workplace!

This isn't going to go down well at all on here like but I couldn't give a fuck tbh so I'll say it anyway

KLD's philosophy and how he wants to run the club will end in tears in my opinion.His sole focus is the academy and bringing players through. He has no intention of spending his way in to the premier League.

Any fans who hope he's going to spend millions and millions in the next few seasons are going to be very disappointed.

Everyone else who believes doing it his way is the right way then good for you as you will have your wish

It’s starting to look like you’re the only one who ever thought he was gonna spend “millions and millions”. He never was, never said he was. Haven’t you heard of the FL FFP rules? Haven’t you been watching the recent goings on at Derby?
