once_bitterne Posted 15 August, 2019 Share Posted 15 August, 2019 1. Is the kit issue due to the fact our sponsor doesn't exist and was just a way the owner thought he could get some sort of government grant for overseas development that has never materialised and now he's looking a bit of a cock? 2. How difficult is it to send out season tickets in good time before the start of the season? 3. If people are so stupid they will pay £20 for a piece of plastic with 'SFC Member' written on it can the club at least be ars ed to put the bit of plastic in the post? 4. Was Mr Hasenhuttl lied to when agreeing to bring in Djenepo that funds would also be there to buy a CB? I cannot think he is so thick so have prioritised another attacker when it means we have gone into the new season still playing the 3 Stooges in defence. 5. Question for Ralph, what's it likes working with an utterly clueless senior management team? 6. Question for Ralph, do feel pi ssed off that you had to spend the majority of your Summer transfer funds on a player signed by the previous useless manager and who in no way fits the way you want to play football and hasn't managed to find the net so far in 2019. 7. Question for Ralph, did your assistant feel he'd been sold a pup and will you be following him out? 8. Given the fact that more than 80% of the club's revenue comes from TV why are you so insistent on screwing every last penny from the fans? (or customers in your language). 9. Why have you constructed a fanszone that looks like a set from Tenko and are now charging people £200 to enter? (not sure on cost for getting out) 10. How is Chairman Gao's house hunting for a retirement pad in Hedge End going? Missed anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWD Posted 15 August, 2019 Share Posted 15 August, 2019 Listened on the radio. Usual stuff from moving the away fans to Gao investing to VAR. Nothing really new. Slightly odd/awkward moment when PEH was asked about signing a new contract and Semmens jumped in saying PEH had been open about “what he wants to do and where he wants to go” and that conversation “will remain private”, which sounded like maybe a new contract isn’t forthcoming. Perhaps I was reading too much into it but was a bit strange. Cant help but feel we’d get a lot more out of these evenings if our fans learned to construct a question in under 500 words.

You conveniently left out the bit where Semmens said he wanted players to feel they could continue to develop with us so they didn’t feel the need to move away. Anyway, what are we supposed to do, say to players that once they’ve signed we won’t let them leave under any circumstances? Player trading is an important part of our model, and we aren’t alone in that. Even Ajax face the inevitability of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is literally no difference in terms of philosophy between now and under Uncle Les - just we have faith that we’re not going to sign dross. But nobody deliberately sets out to sign dross.
