Each new demand for engagement seems dumber than the last though. I don't see any reason for the fans to be informed about anything other than fixtures and prices.

I think that ticketing and customer experience are rubbish. Despite that I keep buying tickets. Incredible but clearly quite common. Engaging with the fans about the manager's future will only undermine the manager. Who would want to work for such a board? Expand If the board are behind Gio, coming out and explaining how and why they are backing him would not undermine him, it would support him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,507 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The board coming out and backing him might be seen as a vote of confidence scenario. And we know how those usually end up. One wonders what Park and co are thinking just now, certainly... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I don't think I've ever witnessed a "dumb demand" from any fan or fans group. Asking for engagement regarding areas of the club that the majority of fans feel are neglected (they've been named previously) are not "dumb" demands. If the board are genuinely backing Gio, asking them the reasons for this isn't a "dumb demand". The fans are the biggest financial contributors to the club - season tickets, merch, shares, corporate hospitality, RTV, MyGers etc. The board are the leaders of the club, they are meant to set the example that all other departments follow, ignoring your "customer base" isn't setting an example, it's ignorant and arrogant. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand As you know, r_s is the master of the slow play so that it takes time for his hand to be revealed, if ever. I assume his position is that a demand being dumb doesn’t mean or indeed imply, that the person making the demand is dumb. It’s a reasonable inference to draw, however, entitling the reader to an explanation why he should not so infer. Expect the explanation sometime on Friday morning - if ever. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
