Saint Benali Posted 2 December, 2015 Share Posted 2 December, 2015 Funny how ol Ralph and Les come out and talk when things are going well but yet we have not heard from them for quite some time. I believe Koemans recent comments indicate something isn't quite right behind the scenes. What that is I don't know but it would look as our boards plan and Koemans do not match.

But you'd agree that crap like Krueger's if you can't get excited about playing in the Europa League you should be organising concerts wasn't the brightest thing to sy, especially considering our ignominios loss in Denmark ?

GarrettIvo Posted 4 December, 2015 Share Posted 4 December, 2015 Bloody hell. Losing 4-1 at City isn't anything out of the ordinary in itself for any team. The Cup result was bad but sometimes that's gonna happen. It's a bloody sport sometimes you have good days and sometimes you have bad days. This place is actually full of mental patients I reckon.

Saint Benali Posted 4 December, 2015 Author Share Posted 4 December, 2015 Ok was a bit knee jerk. Probably should be deleted! But to clarify I meant It in regards to recent comments from our manager. But to be fair they have gone a bit quiet really. The last time anything was said that I can remember was the fans forum which was mid October. Before that I can't remember. (July was last Reed statement). Now I am not saying give us an hourly update as quite frankly that would be as stupid as my post. But It would be nice maybe once a month to give an interview or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 4 December, 2015 Share Posted 4 December, 2015 There are plenty of interviews with the man that matters, the manager. Not sure what they can tell us other than what type of biscuits they have at their board meetings. I'd much rather they left it until they had something to say.

Except I'm fairly sure no-one, including Koeman, thinks there's any need for the Board to say anything. Most of the things he said are accurate anyway, we spend less than we sell for seemed to be the gist of it. Well... duh. Now if you want to know about Mary's Meals...

We will have a kings ransom coming in TV money soon. Would much rather put a few thousand more seats in the stadium, set ticket prices to fill it, and increase our match day revenue from all the spin-offs. Much better than spunking money thousands of miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggest you listen to it again where you'll see he says nothing like that, basically he says the opposite to that. The guy says are you a project manager Ron says no he isn't, then says, dismissively "what, you mean 'judge me at the end of my contract?' No, you have to win now."
