He's a good salesman, which is no bad thing in terms of what he is trying to do with the club. I attended yesterday and one of the things he said that stood out was that he's trying to create ' a premier league club on a conference budget' ( Barry did point out it would have been a top end Conference club! ) Yep, he was on a charm offensive and it was a nice soundbite but it's clear that there has been big changes for the better since LJs appointment off the pitch. It was a very open and frank chat which maybe doesn't sound as positive as it was when written down/reported, but I think it's fair to say everyone left the room very impressed with his passion and vision for the club. He was also quite open about how we're not where we want to be in the League. After yesterday, I've no doubt we will be up there soon enough. Many thanks to the club for organising and for everyone who reported on it.
"So basically we all have to be positive all the time about manager, club and players in case anyone of them happens to log on here and gets upset or offended by it. Ok then. zzzz"
Barry did say that the club uses the site to gauge fan's opinions. Which again is no bad thing - but with all the toss posted on here I hope that they will use forums such as yesterday's q and a more. Doubt very much LJ would bother with the site and I really hope none of the players do!
