To add fuel to the fire , it sadly appears that the club owners are more intent on building the corporate team than the playing one, with their seemingly constant notices on the club site for executive vacancies and ancillary staff. It reminds me of the Bignot era, who clearly couldn't walk the walk, and tried to surround himself with others who could cover his failings - until JF twigged him trying to spend his money.  

Controversial -  yes , but I know I'm not the first to notice.

Don’t worry. Chaos seems to like picking fault.


I didn’t pick fault. There’s an irony in you saying that which seems to have escaped you, given your propensity to perpetual criticism of all manner of things.

I merely stated that the player’s stats were not very good. I have no actual informed opinion as to his ability as a striker, having never seen him play.

Are you seriously asking that they should justify any non-playing appointments with an explanation of what impact it will have on the playing budget? Do you want people who are going to try to build a professional acting and sustainable club or just someone to spunk a load of money on a couple of names you recognise?


It’s their business and they can do what they like but I’m not aware that prevents others from having a point of view, does it?

Don’t think crass stupid trolling counts as being controversial

He didn’t say you shouldn’t have a point of view - he just challenged it. That’s ok isn’t it?

Have you considered that the corporate team was spread that thin on the ground and had to cover multiple roles for the previous regime? We now have very successful professionals charge who can see where the none playing staff need bolstering. This has already been done on the playing side, as you know there was only Hurst, Doig and Moore. We now have a team of staff to support the players.

1878 put the field operation first and foremost and are now concentrating on the non playing side. As JS has said they have a plan.



You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Give essel a game. He’s a striker. He’s in the first team squad.
He knows where the goal is, we all happy to take other kids on from other teams but what about our own. If they never play they will never move on.
Who knows he could be a revaluation.

All you do is look for negatives..faults..

How tiresome that must be.

There’s a group of about 5 or 10 on here of same mindset.

Each to their own and all that I guess.

Can’t wait to read another meltdown at 5pm..

Honest..

Our owners said they aren't football people so PH controls the playing side of business. Would you like an advert on the club site saying "Striker wanted, must score at least 20 goals per season, wage negotiable, applications to be posted on the Fishy for approval before shortlisting to the management "
Everyone is entitled to an opinion but when that opinion is just plain wrong try accepting it.
