Deckchairs on The Titanic

Recommended Posts

All sorts of bizzare rumours going around ( can you imagine Ralph working under Dave Jones ?). None of these address Reed leaving, Danny Rohl having a major bust up and walking out, Holjburg suggesting some players not giving a frack , Ross Wilson leaving, what does Nelly Gao do ?, our miserable line up of coaches

Ralph Krueger was going to renew his contract for another 5 years.

IMO there is a major infection within the club.

Getting another manager or whatever won’t make a jot of difference. If you like or dislike any of the characters mentioned is irrelevant.

WTF is going on ?

Kat sold the club to a charlatan. That’s going on

 

Before, we couldnt shift players quick enough (which was wrong on so many levels) now, the staff dont hang around.

 

The revolving door culture started with Kat and has gotten ridiculous ever since

 

Strange how she seems to be utterly exempt from the polite boos from the home crowd at games

The Krueger bit is interesting. I wonder why they got rid all of a sudden? Was he questioning things they wanted to do, or not do mores the point ?

 

Im still not getting what Gao is getting from owning this club. If its to get a foothold into the city of Southampton there must be easier/cheaper ways to do it ?

This is the worrying thing. From the outside, the club looks rotten from top to bottom. Who is making the decisions? Is there anyone big enough to face the situation and take appropriate action? Is there anyone there that actually cares enough? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Kat and her sales team sold him a vision of a business where players were bought cheaply and sold for huge profits, while the Premier League millions kept on rolling in, and he bought it.

 

He hasn't got anything from it. Kat took him for everything he had and more.

Krueger completed his 5 year contract and expected to continue.

There is so much wrong with the club is hard to know where to begin but here goes...

1. Ownership. Gaos motives are unclear but creating a winning football club is not it.

2. Leadership. There is none, from the boardroom to the playing field.

3. Strategy. Buying young and cheap to sell onto competitors does not work and demoralised the fan base.

yes the club has alot to answer if not 99% for, but I know people wont like this but the club bowed to the fans and got rid of Puel. He was building with the majority of players who played on Friday. We played structured football with success and at times played some superb stuff. We just couldnt score. With time he may have been able to buy some who would change us and we could well have developed into a decent side, Who did he bring into Leicester that have helped make them the force they are, Yes they also got rid of him but again he had only just started.

Weren’t you bigging us up in the summer? Saying we were on top of things and delivering a great long-term project?

 

It’s pretty obvious what the problem is:

 

- absentee, potless ownership with no ability to invest and no strategy for improvement

 

leads to suboptimal and hamstrung executives

 

leads to demotivated football operations heads

 

leads to demotivated / poor coaching team

 

leads to poor team.

 

Coupled with years of bad signings.

Heard last night that Gao is not letting the Board get on with things and is interfering without having any clear objectives.
its not the current board who bought the squad we have. If I owned the club and saw the state of the investment id get involved, 100m worth of buys on loan ffs.

Quite true there was a sturdy plan in place. That’s why I can’t get what the hell is going on.

In a rare interview our "flamboyant" owner made it clear that he had bought a self-fattening pig. Or so he thought at the time. I think he may be thinking differently now.

 

No rude Kat jokes please.
