This is the way forward.

Very good post and I agree completely.

Thats because in most business's the finance director is the 2nd in command. Dont FD's have to move every 3 odd years as well due to financial regulation?

Dont deflect onto what I should or would have done, she is he one in charge of our club and who knew that 3 months in advance that we would need someone to replace Cortese. Deflection aside I would have stated the intention of the club was, she has given us youth and stability which is sort of so obvious its unreal, and people think that a groundbreaking piece of work.

Is this the Ice Hockey fellow?

She did not know this was coming? Is that what you are saying? Cortese was lying and she did not have 3 months to prepare a statement?

True how can people be as positive as they are without knowing what is going on behind the scenes, hope over fact.

I think I have explained that, a decisive measure taken straight away shows we were and are prepared, getting a Ice Hockey guy in and someone from the opposite office does not inspire when this could have been unveiled that day. Anyway right or wrong it does not detract from the point these measures in my humble are there to keep the ship steady for selling and not for the future. Did Liebherr say what her goals are for the club by the way?

Lol's that was 12 months ago, how much is Ramirez worth now lolz.....................

It would have shown we (club) were prepared for a start as opposed to the shock we (fans) had, also we would have reassured that the club was in safe hands acting quickly showing they knew this was coming.

No. Shaw is out most valuable player, £20 Million is £5 Million too much even on the form he is showing, that being said it does not mean he would go for that.

So you dont disagree with the points made? And what are our goals now Cortese has left, have they stopped or do they continue?

I didn't believe Cortese and I dont know what Liebherr's intentions are as that statement is as clear as mud. It said everything and nothing, real politik. My guess is as good as anyones and no one knows 1) The club is for sale. 2) Retain players so when sold its should achieve a higher amount as its more attractive for the buyer. 3) Investment kept to a minimum as there is no point in buying players if you are selling. 4) Use continuity and stability as a guise to supporters.

Two huge underwhelming appointments, now can we get a commitment from the board that they are prepared to spend to achieve our European ambitions? I wonder.

Its you knowing people in the life of crime that has him running scared.

How in the World shall Katharina Liebherr please our expectant fans with that? For us to progress we need quality on the sidelines waiting in the wings for when injuries happen and opportunity arrises.

Possibly but one thing is for sure we would be down the pecking order unless we offered good money.

Is this part of the blue chip package? This is completely underwhelming.

So you disgaree with the owners about respecting our history?

The Estro is the best, awesome kit.

We have not but if we are to advance you need at least 1 other top quality player for every position.

Everton for starters would have him back as Distin is getting on, he would go to Liverpool no worries, why not he has played for a team inbetween so no issue there. United could even possible go for him, class player. You could if you wnated probably juestify him in every squad in the Premiership.

I have never come across a person who has taken over in the midst of upheaval to not say they are looking for stability and continuity. I have also never come across an owner saying they do not want to promote from within the structure of the club. We know nothing and can only speculate, what exactly was so JFK or Luther King about that statement, it told people who want to believe something something to grasp, only speculation, talk the talk but also walk the walk.

Lescott will have the pick of an awful lot of clubs, would love it to happen but it wont , Liverpool being the most likely destination.

This +1.
