Dickie Down Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Very interesting. Intrigued to know what the business model game changer is? Pretty clear sideswipe at the players about fans wanting to see a team that is trying and cares. Puts onus squarely on the manager and Head of Recruitment (?) for transfers and playing standards. Quite steely there, I thought. Praised the Rothwells family, quite rightly, for their commitment and level or investment, but suggested that it wouldn't be there at that level in the future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite steely there, I thought. Firstly- fair play to him. It’s what I’ve been asking for. Acknowledge mistakes- try and galvanise. He came across very well in that respect. On the bit I’ve quoted, I didn’t take it as that. He made it clear that Mickey is in charge of transfers- the inference being, that is what Micky wants. It came across as, ‘that’s not the model we had but Micky has told us he knows what good looks like so he will have full autonomy.’ I think he was saying without saying- that stats bomb is in the bin- and we’ll go with Micky’s eye alone.

Quite steely there, at least twice he says Micky does the recruiting, which leads to me inferring there is no head of recruitment. well, that MM is head of recruitment, but youknow what l mean!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Down Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 If you make it clear he has full autonomy, which I have no argument with,then it is very clear the buck stops with the manager. So the line goes: We want to run a good business, we want stability, we want to back the manager and give him his head, but he will succeed and fail by his decisions which he has control of.

Dickie Down Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I thought he came over well. Sounds like we might have some big concert events in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB2 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Stability in the playing squad is not an end in itself. Not changing personnel because of a belief that stability will achieve the end sought is the act of a mad man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Long (22:30) interview with DR - comes across well - the board is supportive but it’s down to the manager and staff to make the team successful - he and the board will continue to expand and improve the infrastructure etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not changing personnel because of a belief that stability will achieve the end sought is the act of a mad man Stability comes when the bulk of the squad is deemed to be at the required level of ability and reliability. MM has already made it known that quite a few of the present squad are not at that level so changes in personnel are inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PartTimeLatic Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 It's a great business update on how the club is doing everything it can to become stable and increase revenues to be sustainable well beyond the Rothwells etc but there wasn't a huge amount said about the season just gone outside of "well we're all disappointed". Would have liked him to directly address the Mellon interview at the very least, even it was to acknowledge his frustrations but reassure fans that there's going to be work done on the squad over the summer. Basically, a very good big picture interview. But didn't do much to address the here and now on the playing front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether Darren agrees with what he said or not, it's not worth stoking it up again publicly... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going over Mellons comments- he alone will bear the brunt or not of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheeky chappie is trying to pass himself off as Jim Bowen. But that will never work because we all know that he's definitely not smashing, super or great.
