10 mins in and Blackmore has not let anyone ask any questions yet, and asked a question some may have wanted .

Fully expect him to jump back in if people start to ask hard hitting questions. Happens every year. 

[CSA96]

'Phil, can you assure us there were no more than three incidents of illegal scouting missions?'
'I can assure you there are no more than three allegations'

Adam Blackmore looking like someone has morphed Phil Campion and Zak Dingle. 

[Appy]

Blackmore still asking questions.

I thought it was the lead singer of Elbow

[Willo of Whiteley]

Like listening to Fiona Bruce waffle on on Question Time.

The gentleman over there

*Asks question

No, that’s too hard hitting let move on to the lady over here.

[CSA96]

Second Q was a bit of a belter:

To you Phil, when this happened, the way the club was led, we were in an information vacuum in the wake of Middlesbrough out there releasing statements, photos to the media and leading a storm against us. You were left somewhat lacking in my opinion. You reportedly went to Gibson and said 'sorry mate' and that's about it. We just let it happen rather than fight our corner. We were very quiet. You say respectful but I say we were eaten alive by the people up north and have been left to live with the consequences of that.

Whoever just asked that question to Parsons: I want to buy you a pint. 😆

[AlexLaw76]

Fair play to that question. Basically we were eaten alive in the public domain 

[RedArmy]

Parsons need to squirm for this entire forum. 
 

Good question. 

[Appy]

Guy asks a question, so Blackmore just interjects and asks a different one. 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Politician answer's

[CSA96]

Parsons on what the medium to long term projects are: 'Your revenue level is tied to your salary level and without the increased revenue you can't drive your salaries into higher levels. We've been working a lot on some real estate projects around the stadium. We're not quite at the point of being able to publicly share those because we're in talks with some major developers. But I can tell you that they will be one of the biggest development projects around any stadium in the UK.'

[Saint Matty 76]

Spors is usually pretty good at giving information, would be nice if we could start asking him some questions about the squad

Parsons is never going to provide anything interesting

Unless you’re Gibson or the EFL and then he’ll tell you everything 

[RedArmy]

Tonda must be thinking thank fuck for this. He probably thought he’d have a lot of difficult questions to answer and it’s turned into the Parsons show. 

[Appy]

Good to see Jim McDonald get a question 

[AlexLaw76]

I’m a season ticket holder…. Here we go.

complaining at price increases, but bought a ST and is going away for 7 months.

i would suggest a good example of why season tickets have been able to go up

Completely ignored the Shea Charles part of the question

Oh fuck off about the kits

Absolutely going round the houses to ask the question as well

[Saint Matty 76]

What an absolute waste of time

[sfc4prem]

Who on earth would get a chance to go to the fans forum and waste it by asking about menial shit like kits.

[Pamplemousse]

He spent 5 minutes waffling on to ask about the fucking kit

Edited 2 hours ago by Pamplemousse

[Appy]

All that for a question about stripes. Boot him out.

Parson's will spend the next 20 minutes banging on aboit shirts now

[saints1988]

Absolute noddy - why would you ask about bloody kits - grown adult why does it matter 

[CSA96]

Just now, Appy said:

It was so rambling. I actually thought the question was going to be asking if we can stop releasing new kits every year and alternate on home/away releases each summer. But no... it was about the stripes. Not sure how the preamble related to it

[RedArmy]

Just need a catering question now for the bingo card.

Don't forget about being friendly to away fans

[AlexLaw76]

Spors - confident we will have a strong team. We are go into a 2nd season with the core team together. it is not about the need to sell but having the correct size of squad. 

[AlexLaw76]

We will reduce the size of the squad 

 

obviously

It wasn’t a question, in politics they call it a filibuster.

Not that Parsons or Blackmore will mind. 

[Pamplemousse]

I did enjoy right at the start, Tonda's big grin when Blackmore referenced Hull winning the play-off final

[Saint Matty 76]

Tonda is great

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Just now, Saint Matty 76 said:

Tonda is great

Speaks really well

[Appy]

10 minutes left and we’re hearing about Juric

[CSA96]

Spors: We had a long conversation with Jay Robinson. He didn't really get enough minutes last season. Now he gets a chance to go to a different environment and grow in his personality and his skills in a way that can develop his long-term career. We think he will come back a better player. I spoke to Ivan Juric and wanted to hear what his plan is. With Ivan's training compared to Tonda's training he will need to be ready to run more 

[Saint Matty 76]

He does! Always starts seeming quite awkward but suddenly gives a really clever answer

[Appy]

Takes a literal child to ask a succinct and straight to the point question. 

[Pamplemousse]

"If the board goes up and it's a player from the Academy, you feel the reaction from the stands. It feels different. I think we had some good examples last year, Braggy for example. Last summer he came back to a manager who told him he is not good enough and he needs to go the National League. Then he plays in front of 90,000 people at Wembley."

 

Will Still cost us promotion last season. Awful, awful manager.

National League?!?!

this was a manager who played fellows RWB and subbed Leo for Jack Stephens ffs

[Saint Matty 76]

Ah good closing it out with a horrendous question

[trousers]

What sort of non-question was that FFS?

It was obvious from the Stoke/Pompey home games that we had made a howler of an appointment despite having a team capable of winning the league. 

[sfc4prem]

File this under 'inane waste of one hour'.

Some shit about how the players are going to get the trust of the fans back. Utter bollocks

Yep. Right from the off we had no discernible style of play. Then against Pompey at home he stated the plan was to hoof it long. With a team full of midgets.
