You think Spors was lying to the FAB then...?

If you've been reading this forum for "years" then the reaction to your post wouldn't have come as a surprise.... We *always* see 'first posts' akin to the one you posted when the club is in-between managers, and they typically come and go as quickly as the managers do themselves... That's not to rule out you not being such a poster of course, I'm simply highlighting that a regular visitor to this forum wouldn't not "expect to be ripped into" for such a post given it had all the hallmarks of a typical 'plant' post that we've seen time and time in the past* (*Cue the resident contrarians, Lighthouse and Fabrice, telling me I'm talking nonsense and that such things never happen... ) P.s. apologies for the smattering of double negatives.... 😁

Cheers 👍🏻 I hereby withdraw my cynicism (well, some of it anyway 😁)

What are they focusing on...?

If Trump doesn't get any compensation out of the BBC, by whatever means, I guess he could start to throw his toys out of the pram, and do something reactionary, such as whacking up tariffs on UK goods and services...?

You want to know what was said in a meeting between a club's sporting director and representative's of the club's fan base? How very old fashioned... Why on Earth would Sport Republic want such matters to be a matter of public record? That would make them accountable to the fans.... Dream on... P.s. have 'FAB' ever published minutes of these meetings with the ownership / management? If yes, where are they published? If not, what's the point of a group that purports to represent the fan base but seemingly doesn't communicate with them...?

One assumes that would be a record for a League 2 club?

Given those connections, Viera is certainly the appointment that would be the most logical... But this is Sport Republic we're talking about here, where logic normally goes out of the window...

That would entail Spors and Sport Republic ceasing their accountability avoidance approach to running the club. Given Spors reportedly ducked out of a 'slated' interview during the last international break I wouldn't hold breath on them making themselves available for interview any time soon...

Likewise. And Dave are about to broadcast a Bob Mortimer episode as we speak... Edit: ignore that... It's a "best of" compilation

Yep... But it reminds me of an episode of 'Would I Lie To You' where Bob Mortimer tells one of his completely implausible stories which turns out to be true... Would anyone genuinely be surprised if Nolan's rumour about SR's approach turned out to be true given their track record in decision making...?

Bit of a come down from first team manager to club photographer.

Given their apparent penchant for pulling out of 'difficult' interviews, I would suggest totally unrealistic...

I had a bet on him telling us again... Just before the odds dropped massively... Kerching!

I don't usually comment on this kinda stuff, as it inevitably ends up in a futile circular debate, but one thing that did leap out at me reading that piece is that he very much focuses on front line staff when he talks about the challenges of getting productivity gains in the public sector. Which made me wonder what the productivity spilt is between back office and front line staff. One would imagine it's easier to make savings in the back office compared to the front line? As I say, just an observation rather than wishing to stir the opinion pot.
