Can’t see anything in those ideals about talking to anyone. Usually, recruiting people would want to make sure of the person they want to employ by talking to them. Just seems that every appointment / dismissal is ‘engineered’ by text these days.
Shrinking away - hide behind the computer keys.
Seems like.

Quoted from Mappers
I think Stockwood is a decent listen , but if you listen to him once you have listened to him 20 times

-process driven
-knows some fans only care about the result on Saturday
- likes reading greek mythology
-want's to make the club a driver for change in community
-want's a football regulator badly
- council estate kid etc etc

I have not listened to it but imagine those subjects got a mention .

Not knocking him ,but we know the story - if people don't want to hear it again they don't have to listen do they , he's projecting to a wider audience than Town fans  his view on various topics.

I like him & Pettit ,I think they are green on the footballing side and I want shot of Artell but I guess this is a learning process for them , something I see them getting better at as time goes on as they seem pretty switched on and willing .


He wants a football regulator because he thinks it’ll save him money. It won’t.

I get what you’re saying but there isn’t a person alive who doesn’t say the same stuff, in the same manner over and over again. We all have our specialist subjects and favourite phrases we just don’t all have the platform to be heard.

It’s not that black & white. He wants to change the rules because they favour those who will bankroll big budgets. It’s understandable but, even if you move the goalposts, it doesn’t change where we are on the map and we still have excrement facilities.

It was tongue-in-cheek. I was alluding to people's reactions to him. I have a lot of time for him personally.

No getting around our lack of pull though.

He has said that he does not understand managing a football business as much as his other businesses.  This might be critical for us now.

I admire his business success, but then, so did many admire Fenty this early into his tenure. I also admire his desire to make the business better but there’s a balance and I just think that they have overthought the off field bit.

Running a football club is such a niche endeavour and very few people have done it. Even those that have might be in very different ways that advice is not always transportable. Every club is unique. Our ground and facilities are all ancient. We're at the lower end of the professional game in competing in a league with many wealthier clubs. The short, medium and long term all have big issues. It's a nightmare basically!
