Weston Saint Posted 11 July, 2009 Share Posted 11 July, 2009 A few weeks ago we did not know if we would have a club to support at the beginning of the new season. We were all hoping for a buyer to come in. Well, we now have that new owner with more money than we could ever hope for. OK, I appreciate that he will not let us spend beyond our divisional position but that I see as positive as well. We are on a firm footing and no stupid spending. We will grow and with each success we know there will be money to help us at each new level New management structure at all parts is good news as well, as is the pricing structure for season tickets. Sensibly priced to make sure our income will help balance the books. Yet still a number of supporters moan about the possible choice of Team Manager. If we have faith in all the above then let them make a judgement call on that as well and give our whole hearted support to whoever they choose. Some have said WGS was at SMS and that fuelled hopes of him as Manager. I suspect he is being paid a small consultancy fee to assist with the choice or may be he is being lined up as sporting director? Tony Adams would not be my first choice but if that is what our new owner and his team want than let's give them and him a chance. After all we are only a 3rd tier club at present and stability has to come before ambition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpv01 Posted 11 July, 2009 Share Posted 11 July, 2009 yep im with you. we have got to think how lucky we are to be out of trouble when others who were in our position are still struggling along (luton, AFCB, etc). i wouldnt complain about ANY former premier league and even former england managers coming to join our rock bottom of LEAGUE 1 club. whoever it is we are in a better situation than last year and possibly the last 5 years so next season is going to be more fun whoever the manager/team/chairmen/DoF/youth manager is...... basically Leibherr could appoint tony adams, fabio capello or victor meldrew and i would still back the team 100% and thank Leibherr from the bottom of my heart and hope he is here and happy for many years to come.

I agree.....but I think if Tony Adams came anywhere SMS it would at the very least divide support. SAY NO TO TONY ADAMS !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 11 July, 2009 Share Posted 11 July, 2009 Weston do you know anything? I can't believe the new team would be silly enough to appoint adams. It won't continue all the positivity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 11 July, 2009 Share Posted 11 July, 2009 Just an interesting link from another thread by Sue suewhistle Full Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Italian Alps - best snow melt for years! Posts: 386 Whoosh. Tone has just fallen of a cliff, but I did rather telegraph that pass...:smile: Incidentally, in the Swiss press release I thought "how true"... the club has a modern stadium, good training possibilities and a first-class new generation department. It is guessed/advised without own being to blame for into the misery: “There were too many groups, among themselves fought each other.” First of all why would they be silly to appoint Adams? Like I posted elsewhere, what are the criteria? what position are they even talking about? Could somebody show me the statement or advert where we are looking for a MANAGER? We do NOT have 2.5bliion pounds to spend this season or of course EVER. We will have a salary budget of somewhere around the 5million pounds mark. Let's sign Jose up - oh not enough. Let's get Sven in - oh whoops no money for players. There are too many criteria that we do not know about at this point in time. We have a couple of emotive NotW type comments, no information, no facts. I'm with you Ron, it is fair to state an opinion "I do not think Tony Adams would be a wise choice for PR or Footballing reasons" (see I can do it) however, the emotives on here need to understand one thing - Crouch has gone so "decision making by wanting to be seen to be nice" is out the window Lowe has gone so "decision making by Ouija Board or temper tantrum" is out the window. Make a case people, you just look immature and stupid otherwise, and just continue the stupidity of the past years into a new era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
