Bristolatic Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Within those notes are two comments that I find worrying. 1. AL - "that in the next 6 months there will be a new managerial structure in place" - that's by October, for God's sake. Does he know the season starts in August? Does this mean that there is no rush to have a complete management team in place any time soon? Or have I misread the meaning? 2. ML - "will be meeting early next week to discuss contracts (done w/c 06.05.2019)" - so how did it go with Benteke, Maouche, Nepomuceno and De la Paz? Nothing on the Official since it was announced on 8th May. It's now the 17th. Communications? And did Branger and Missilou accept the option being taken or have they gone as well? Or have I misunderstood that as well? Does it also mean that Mo is handling the contracts? Given what the comment by AL (#1 above) suggests, are he and likkle bruv handling new signings? In addition to all that, how the hell is Detective Redfleece a Director, an ex-Director and a Director again? Hasn't he done enough damage to the club's reputation? Credit to the Trust (waits to be shot at) for getting this far with the Lemmys, but AL is certainly living up to his "slowly, slowly" mantra. Let's see how the accounts stack up when they're allowed to be viewed. In full? Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving AL the benefit of the doubt, that surely must mean on the administrative side. Although given recent history who knows?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The probability's really weighted towards it being complete bullshit, isn't it? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowenicki Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Doesn’t matter what is said, people here will shit on it. That is probably justified... but I am a bit bored of reading the same old lazy insults and easy sarcastic hits. Rightly... the only proof will be the actual action and outcomes.

Maybe he's the connection between SC and AL? I am led to believe the match maker was Adam Pearson - Hull RFC owner and formerly involved with Hull City, Leeds United & Derby County, however Adam Morallee lists this as one of his cases, so Brandsmiths could easily by the common denominator.

Isn't it fair to question the budget issue? If, as read, it’s bring doubled then that is exciting news. If it’s being increased by an unconfirmed amount/percentage then that’s pretty meaningless. So the distinction is important isn’t it? And isn’t it also fair, given everything that’s gone on, to be skeptical about any increase?

Last time. It is an invitation to be privy to information that is not in the public domain and that the owner has no obligation to put in the public domain. That's it. There is no compulsion and nothing sinister about it. If the owner wanted to be totally secretive he simply wouldn't make the offer in the first place. Please just accept that you don't know about NDA's; there's no shame in it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it’s fair to question and be sceptical. Are your disagreeing that no matter what was said or promised that the sarcasm and scepticism would continue? I’m not saying it’s unjustified. I’m saying it will continue until actions prove otherwise. It’s almost a worthless discussion at this point.

His words, or lack of them, make no difference. Zero. You disagree? He can only change perception by action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiseowl Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Good update from the Trust - thank you. Just a pity about the glaring ambiguity regarding the "100% better" budget. Reads to me like it's layman's terms for "much better" rather than an actual doubling of the budget. Clarification (in due course) would be welcome.
