Fair one..!!

So as Chairman - wouldn’t you put these items in priority..??

So if it were me I would say:

1. We’ve set a strategy to invest in youth, so the academy and recent signings - current Manager not embracing the strategy and/or incapable integrating obvious talent into the first team delivering sub standard results / performances..
2. On from one replace Manager that will embrace the above - then get a realistic appraisal of where additional recruitment / resources are required, given the resources and talent already to hand.
3. Discuss plan with other investors - make clear that unless investment / funds
made available now there is a real chance we will be relegated so all shareholding’s, investments and overall club value will be significantly diminished.
4. On from 3 I will remove my ridiculous insistence on having equal voting rights and bring it in line with my shareholding - whilst still offering my services and full attention to the running of the club.
5. On from points 2 and 3 - transfer window closes at midnight on 1st February 2024 - so funds need to be made available now - to give us the opportunity to make best use of funds to ensure best quality recruitment for the areas identified - be that loan or purchase.
6. Complete points 1 through 5 - should bring the fans back onside - without their support and backing we are nothing.
7. On the basis that all that goes we retain our Premiership status then I think a real conversation needs to be had around club strategy and direction - I maintain that we need to complete the construction of the new stand to increase attendance and revenue.
8. On 7 I regret that this got mentioned in the press today - given that we currently have more pressing priorities and that fans may have taken this to mean I am on my own flight of fancy / egotistical journey whilst ignoring the current extremely pressing priorities.
9. In the meantime Raine can take a watching brief for the remainder of the season - so that at earliest opportunity in the close season we can all assess board structure, requirements and priorities - both on and off the pitch.

That’s what I’d be doing if I were Steve - will he, will he heck..!!

On your point No4, when there are 4 owners, who all have a vote, how can 1 of them dilute their vote to 10%?

According to the Guardian Parish has given Roy the next game and some constructive criticism whilst the remainder of the board want to sack him.

I wonder if any constructive criticism was offered in response.

Excellent article in Evening Standard
