Chez Posted 20 January, 2014 Posted 20 January, 2014 MP won't resign and he will say that players are going nowhere. In a week a new CEO will be announced and this supposed `meltdown' will be put to bed. In the summer Shaw will leave for a world record fee, but it won't have anything to do with Cortese leaving. He was just tapped up, offered a once in a lifetime contract and there won't be a thing anyone could have done. We'll draw on Saturday, it will rain tonight and the lottery numbers are... ...it did rain and thank god I bought that lottery ticket. If you need any further advice I'll be in my new box at SMS on Saturday.

buctootim Posted 20 January, 2014 Posted 20 January, 2014 Grow means to me, by using youth and not putting money in, organic growth and from within. Suits me perfectly
Chez Posted 20 January, 2014 Posted 20 January, 2014 Grow means to me, by using youth and not putting money in, organic growth and from within. yep, wanting the club to grow definitely means all financial backing stops now.

She's owned the club since 2010 and we've seen over £70m spent on players and £30m on infrastructure since then and also used youth players. What kind of growth is that?

a1ex2001 Posted 20 January, 2014 Posted 20 January, 2014 Grow means to me, by using youth and not putting money in, organic growth and from within. But ACTUALLY means nothing of the sort, grow could be organically from within could be by massive investment could be somewhere in bettween (much more likely) stop reading things and twisting them to fit an agenda and just accept it for waht it is a statement of intent. She clearly doesn't plan an asset srtipping fire sale and run and is trying to stabalise the ship and dispel the rummours of impending doom what more do you want?
Bucks Saint Posted 20 January, 2014 Posted 20 January, 2014 We have reached as far as we can go, the glass ceiling has appeared in front of us, so with out investment thats it. oh no we havent
charlie saint Posted 20 January, 2014 Posted 20 January, 2014 I know this is all very important, and everything, but all the talk of new chairmen, directors, etc etc makes me think of this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jigsaw-portrait-Manchester-Finance-Director/dp/B00H2UDWSS (which is probably old hat - for which I apologise).

You've also bizarrely added a word "organic" to the Tweet trousers posted. Why?
Window Cleaner Posted 20 January, 2014 Posted 20 January, 2014 You didn't answer my question. You've also bizarrely added a word "organic" to the Tweet trousers posted. Why? perhaps the plan is to shovel sh!t on our players and staff. Mushrooms are grown "organically" aren't they.
Jimmy_D Posted 20 January, 2014 Posted 20 January, 2014 Not sure where the idea we've hit a glass ceiling already has come from? We're on the back of five years of continuous improvement in league position. Our first team is currently capable of getting results against the best teams in the league. That same squad is among the youngest in the league and likely to improve, and also likely to stick around for a while as they're on long contracts. What seems to have held us back most recently is the lack of depth in squad, rather than the quality of first choice players. Similar investment to what we've already seen could certainly help with the depth problem, and would likely see us carry on improving for a while yet. As far as I can see, until we see otherwise, there's a lot to be optimistic about.

Our young stars won't stick around unless we are progressing and that means European Football, they need it to obtain international recognition. As long as it's an objective and they can see it approaching they may stay but personally I think many of them will be gone this summer. It's too late this window but the summer is only 20 games or so away. Anyway anyone who's not on shortlists for the WC won't get onto them now, it's too late this time so they might as well stay until summer and get better clubs and deals.

I have never heard a board member say they expect the club to regress, its hardly groundbreaking. The proof will be in the pudding and until then then there will be questions.
Viking Warrior Posted 20 January, 2014 Posted 20 January, 2014 Jimmy d I think with KL she has broken through the glass ceiling and for the good of the club
Webby Posted 20 January, 2014 Posted 20 January, 2014 I just hope that MP can get over his loyalty to NC and find a good relationship with the new CEO. He should realise that, not only is KL owner of the club and paying his wages, but that even if NC was still here, a bad start to next season and NC would have no doubts about replacing him!
Bearsy Posted 20 January, 2014 Posted 20 January, 2014 Jimmy d I think with KL she has broken through the glass ceiling and for the good of the club it was mistake to install glass ceiling in the first place. A titanium ceiling would be much more difficult to break through. Also KL don't want google satellites + pigeons monitoring the stuff she gets upto in bedroom.

Window Cleaner Posted 20 January, 2014 Posted 20 January, 2014 So then where's this announcement, can't be all that complicated if it's been done and dusted since lunchtime already.
Matthew Le God Posted 20 January, 2014 Posted 20 January, 2014 So then where's this announcement, can't be all that complicated if it's been done and dusted since lunchtime already. Maybe a nonsense theory but... perhaps they want to announce it closer to 6pm to be headline news on SSN for maximum PR impact as breaking news.
Bearsy Posted 20 January, 2014 Posted 20 January, 2014 Jesus we can see what looks like may be dark matter 2 billion light years away. can we fuck! The astronauts completely make all that shit up! Like when they're omg we've found this planet + it could be good one to go live on and then they show you the evidence and it's the smallest little smudge imaginable, and they only say there's anything there at all cos the star does a twinkle once a year. They're all v.definite about it now but if you was to say to them ok then you spend the next million years driving there & then live it on for the rest of ur life it they would soon change their tune! They would be all shuffling feet, and saying well actually we can't be 100% that is planet + not just thumb print on telescope lense. They make me so mad, astronauts.

No Bearsy, we've seen light from a quasar doing strange things in a far corner of space and comparing it to various theories tells us that we may be seeing a sort of dark matter web . I expect you could find the article somewhere, think it was published in Nature a short while ago.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 20 January, 2014 Posted 20 January, 2014 Saints holding back on an announcement... that's never happened before. On a serious note, maybe they're waiting for them to finalise the boardroom line-up so they can just announce the whole thing?

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 18 February, 2014 Posted 18 February, 2014 Now then, maybe it is the menace in me but this has all gone quiet in a big way. Cortese hands in his notice back in October and over 4 months later still no new Board? It is of course entirely plausible that we are waiting to announce it at a time when all new members are available but until that time comes I can't shake the thought that our owner is open to the sale of the club and our owner has created this 'window of opportunity' for interested parties to step forward before she puts something in place in the meantime. To be honest, it would be a sensible strategy as well.

But suggestions are that he did and that would correlate with the removal of him as a Director from records in Companies House at that time, unless that is a co-incidence.

Viking Warrior Posted 18 February, 2014 Posted 18 February, 2014 Mr mannering sir Mr mannering don't panic . Pike you stupid boy
Huffton Posted 19 February, 2014 Posted 19 February, 2014 There are further interviews ongoing. I am 100% ITK on this. Gives me confidence that they are taking their time to appoint the right person.
Professor Posted 19 February, 2014 Posted 19 February, 2014 Wasn't the CEO appointment just to hold the position until the chosen candidate works his notice?
Toomer Posted 19 February, 2014 Posted 19 February, 2014 Rogers was working his notice and was due to leave the club on Friday 31st Jan the staff had even made collection for a leaving gift and was asked by KL to stay on when NC was moved on.
Amesbury Saint Posted 19 February, 2014 Posted 19 February, 2014 There are further interviews ongoing. I am 100% ITK on this. Gives me confidence that they are taking their time to appoint the right person. I'm just waiting for the job offer

Badger Posted 19 February, 2014 Posted 19 February, 2014 There are further interviews ongoing. I am 100% ITK on this. Gives me confidence that they are taking their time to appoint the right person. Any idea, or clue, as to how far they are spreading the net on this ? UK , all of Europe ? Previous football experience ?
Huffton Posted 20 February, 2014 Posted 20 February, 2014 Sorry, should have made that a bit clearer. I know that one of the previous 'applicants' is being re-interviewed, which would suggest to me there is more than one of them on the shortlist. Who else I don't know.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 24 February, 2014 Posted 24 February, 2014 With Ralph Krueger said to be starting his new role this week that somewhat blows the 'announce all the new Board members at once' theory out of the water. I wonder what the delay with the CEO is?
