General Meeting 09.01.2018

[blueblue]

If i was CEO , you couldn't sack me.

And without a proper team set up on the pitch to succeed ,you can forget about, turnover, profit, marketing and a new stadium.

Don't confuse CEO and owner. CEO is a club employee like all the others.

 

[trueblue10]

Moshiri needs to step up front and centre, clear his throat and state:

"I am profoundly sorry that, in the course of my near two year period in control of this club, I have made matters worse and the club now stands at a low ebb. It was never my intention to bring that state of affairs about, but that is where we are and I recognise that fact and promise to work tirelessly to take the club back to being a respected organisation and competitive force again both in the PL and in our domestic cup programme. My decision making on managerial appointments have, I concede, contributed to that on-field decline. I will also redouble my efforts to strengthen the club's parlous commercial performance - an issue I've been unable to address in any significant way since my arrival. And, lastly, I'd like to take the opportunity this occasion affords me to acknowledge that the stadium plans - though still in play and very much achievable - have fallen behind schedule, and that we need to redouble our efforts to keep our fans informed of developments in a more efficient way."

What Moshiri will actually say

Right Bill, what the fcuk is going on?

Well why hasn't our CEO been sacked then?

His management of the owners plan is quite obviously failing.

 

[trueblue10]

lol sadly I’m on Sam strike ( for now ) and have some personal probs anyway

Hope you bet over your problems soon Matty and come back fighting.

Buck stops with Moshiri. He's the divvy whose landed us back in the 1990s.

 

[Brisan123]

I want to hear what the real plan is and what goals will be achieved over the next 12 months. When a boyhood blue runs down his contract the time for more BS is over.

Boyhood blue my mansack.
Money grabbing snake more like

 

[Brisan123]

I wonder if Kenwright will suddenly be too ill to attend again? The man always goes underground when things are going deal on the pitch.

Don’t mention his illness or the miraculous cure

 

[AndyC]

Don’t mention his illness or the miraculous cure

And @EFCPaul

With respect fellas, you know nothing about the problems BK has had with his health over the past 18 months or so, so kindly drop this kind of chat.
You might not like the man, you might think he's a waste of space, but to harangue someone over their health issues is below the belt imo.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Buck stops with Moshiri. He's the divvy whose landed us back in the 1990s.

The owner / majority shareholder should always be held accountable. All tha that progress by Moyes to turn us from a woeful relegation team to best of the rest, then yo-yoing up and down with Martinez and Koeman, and now we're no better than when Moyes first took us over. Really sad.

You'd make an awful spin doctor mate

 

[Efcjake]

..the consensus seems to be some type of update on the ground build.

As in "if we don't throw the dog a bone he might bite"

 

[chazzle_dazzle]

Expectations/hope;
- Stadium update including fancy walkthrough visuals
- Walsh getting a roasting for mess of recruitment
- Direction of the club being defined
- Announcements of new investment/sponsorship deals.
- Suntan bob announcing he is going to the rugby job...

Reality;
- Suntan bob presentation outlining our ambition to be a football club
- Nothing on stadium
- Suntan bob gets 6 year contract
- Walsh is sent to Australia on "scouting trip" for 2 weeks, comes back another shade of mahogany
- Moshiri doesn't even bother going.

 

[Eggs]

As in "if we don't throw the dog a bone he might bite"

..I suppose that’s the case in all areas.

 

[Death]

All season ticket holders should be invited to these meetings and have them weigh in.

I agree that it would be a positive to acknowledge disappointments and problems (at least for me). I would have more confidence in any organisation that admits to diificulties so they can deal with them and prevent re-occurence rather than pretending they don't exist.

Moshiri could find a formula of words to do that tonight without making himself sound incompetent or that he has taken his eye off the ball. Ultimately it is his responsibility now of course, but if he admitted his failings in a personal capacity, then that would be a statement of no confidence in himself, and no turkey votes for Christmas. He would be open to more ridicule, as confidence in him has quite significantly fallen away I think.

I would be very surprised if that happened though. In fact it is most likely it will not and we will be presented with fudge upon fudge.
