I think a new chairman/club spokesman is overdue, which is the plan listening to that.
I always think he comes across as a bit of an arrogant know all, whilst trying to hide it.
I respect that he has an overall plan for the club but the clubs he talks about and aspires to got the essentials in place on the field with good managers and players, before worrying too much about identity and B Corp and had enough money to make things happen.
You can never run before you can walk. He will argue he is trying to put the conditions/identity in place for success to follow, but it looks a little incongruous when you are perpetually league 2 stragglers.

I think that's a bit harsh, he only responded to the questions he got asked. Do we really want the chairman flipping about on the Fishy? The last one was flipping horrendous and spent half his time on here. Us getting better will not be a perfect upward curve.
What did he actually tell us? He wants to club to continue to strengthen its links with the community. He wants the club to keep improving, he's referenced some clubs we'd like to emulate. He's talked about the process for appointing a professional CEO. He's said there'll be signings in January. He's said the Fishy is full of girl privates, he's not wrong 😂
Seems a fair interview.

I don't like how Stockwood and a fair few town fans on twitter turn their nose up at this place and tar all posters on here as part of the same set of reactionary clowns and excrement-stirrers. Yes, there is a certain degree of complete bullshit flung on to this message board, but putting that aside this is one of the few places on the internet where you can find in-depth relatively level headed detailed discussions about the club. I certainly find the threads on here in general more interesting than events like the fans forum (which Stockwood cites as a valid avenue for feedback), the most recent edition of which was filled with inane questions from pub bores.

JS talks a good game but fancy scotch eggs and guardian articles count for nothing when it comes to 5800 people renewing season tickets. The honeymoon is well and truly over for 1878 and like many others I think Stockwoods got an attitude problem. The previous manager spewed the budget on shite its time for the board to dig deep and bail Artell out with 5/6 new signings. Otherwise the fingers will be pointing to no ambition and no point its a shitshow and 1-6 at home to a mid table side is worse than anything Fenty oversaw Put up or shut up Mr Stockwood you hired him so back him or sack him.Disgruntled Season Ticket Holder

It's a great place to discuss the games and all the excrement going on at the club. Do you think it's a healthy place for a chairman to spend a lot of their time? Same as social media.

Those who slate this forum on Twitter and Humberside always know what’s being said on here don’t they? Funny, that.

How anyone can stand that praise and grumble site I don't know, if it's more than two sentences that would be considered 'in depth' on there. I think on the fishy yes there are one or two wind up merchants with an axe to grind about the new owners who are obvious ex employees, ignore those, but there is also a lot of sensible discussion and valid points made. I don't agree with all of it but that's because there are different and opposing views as you would expect from a good forum. Some of it can be well put across, some not so, but plenty of it worth reading.

Totally agree.
For someone who wants to connect the community with the club, he should stop playing the intellectually superior card.
Be fair most fishy folk could only dream of having a degree in philosophy from the University of Bolton.

Like all patronising champagne socialists it won't be his fault, more like the fault of all the KKK members and waffen SS right wing gammons that haunt this forum. I said from day one these two were all talk and so far I've been shown to be correct. A perspex screen and tony Blair esque board room buzzwords won't get us three points on a Saturday. So shove your data, fancy sausage rolls, £5 scotch eggs, pointy brown shoes, right up your a.se.
