Frankie 8,185 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Let's not jump down his throat - if this is a dipping of the toe in fan waters then it may be a good thing, a dry run for something a bit more substantial. Problem is there's next to no time left to take the next step. If he wants to persuade people he's the read deal, that session won't have changed anyone's mind on anything, so if you're going to do it Mr Wallace, do it real fast. It's easy to be negative about any new initiative but as long as club hide from genuine debate (because hiding does appear to be what they're doing) then we remain at an impasse. Next week represents the renewal deadline. No reason whatsoever why club cannot arrange a meeting ahead of that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Sure some of his answers were bland but equally everyone knows how careful you have to be on social media; one word out of place and it will be headline news. Like using the word "Media" in place of "some quarters"....... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,185 Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'm not quite sure what folks expected. Did anyone honestly think he was going to reveal exactly how many ST's have been sold, for example. He took on the question about his bonus and clarified that if he gets one it will be pro rata his time in situ. Sure some of his answers were bland but equally everyone knows how careful you have to be on social media; one word out of place and it will be headline news. I didn't expect anything and we didn't get anything. We need something more suitable. You do agree with that? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't really expecting anything but it doesn't make it grate any the less that my support is held in quite so much contempt. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 It was and is very clear who and whom are referred to with the phrase "in some quarters". . It might have been clear to you but I don't see that at all. I'd say it was directed at the reports of calls from Mr King and the UoF/SoS, rather than "fans" in general. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen similar movies before, they end badly. No meaningful transparency Deliberate misleading Large Bonus percentages with no clear and justifiable triggers (even on contract) Lies Talk about scouting and appoint spin-doctors. Unrealistic targets with insufficient detail on how they will be attained (despite having 150 days to think of them) etc etc No, they're taking the p**h. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact the club's official fan group - which purports to represent season ticket holders - is part of the UoF. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that he would have been better to stick to what had been said previously but I don't doubt that the obvious main questions were well rehearsed and he deviated for a reason. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find the composition of the UoF quite astonishing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
