Yep. Agreed. It’s not my job though and I don’t cry about it when people ‘correct’ me, I don’t become ridiculously defensive and I don’t threaten to go legal. He’ll be fine... he’s still quite young.

laticsrblue Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I see from TWAL that what looked, to my very untrained eye, like a professional drone was being flown around BP last week. Could it have been doing a survey of the land or roofs, or making sure that the ground-staff were mowing in straight lines, or maybe it was filming BP so that AL has something to show potential investors.

I'm pretty sure it's a DJI Phanton Pro. They are about £1,000 new, but you could pick one up a used one for about £250. They give amazing quality picture as they have 4k, but not overly used by pros over home users. Funnily enough my brother used his for a friend to take roof survey shots over the Natwest Bank in Uppermill, but he's very much the amateur. Similar -ish priced and 4k camera.

Lags Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Abdullah still wants and believes he can turn the club around in time without other investors. Given it's took 15 years or so to get us to this place I guess he deserves at least 3 years to show some light at the dim part of the tunnel. Maybe it's time for a few forums and truths to be aired?

At the risk of sounding all Lookers stand Andy a foeumn would really help, to see that plan, rather than words. So far the action has not matched the words IMHO.

Dave_Og Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I'm not really interested in a long term plan as there are too many variables for it to be meaningful. What I do want to see is credible management, not team management but on the administrative side, to give confidence that the club is being properly run. It beggars my belief that wasn't the number one priority of the new owner as soon as he had control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means both on the playing side and with the running of the club. Abdallah needs to take a long hard look at this and make it his number one priority. There is still time.

Bristolatic Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Surely, the only plan that could be meaningful is the one that gets us out of this division at the first attempt. So far, there is little to suggest it may happen. Whilst there might not be oodles of cash sloshing about at the club, the quality of players brought in leaves much to be desired, with the exception of the loanees (apart from Graham; he's not good enough). Is what we've got all we can afford? If so, say so. Is there money to strengthen in January? Yes or no? If we know, we can, hopefully, live with it. Does Bunn have complete control over team affairs? We can all guess, but team selection suggests not. If the answer is yes, then we know he has some strange ideas; to our eyes anyway. Does Bunn have the full backing of the owner? Universal kiss of death, I know, but at least put something out there. Who makes up the Board? Is there even a Board? Why do we no longer have a goalkeeping coach? All of that only scratches the surface, but it would be a start to give us an idea how the rest of this season might pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin is a hygiene factor & not something I am going to congratulate anyone for getting right. I believe a Plan, with short, medium & long term goals can be meaningful. The Trust could report to us, how the initiatives that make up the Plan were being achieved over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Serious question to all members, not just those that doubt Abdullah ( which may or may not prove right, given he doesn't have enough ready cash to make it work throwing bucket loads at it. More property rich), How long do you give him to clear the debts enabling to fund the team more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if there are, his due diligence in enuring those debts were settled long before he took the keys off Corney was woeful, for which he only has himself to blame.

The question is how long the club can survive being run the way it is - I would suggest not long. At the moment it seems a bit of a race to see what happens first - going out of the league or going out of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
