Number Eleven Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) The board has accepted responsibility and apologised for relegation while accepting things must change - all without criticising the fans. A much improved announcement on what we’ve become used to. Still more to come on the management and playing staff but a good start.

Mr Mac Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Thinking about it announcing the "new" board and then allowing them to make the decisions is good because they will want to be able to stand behind those decisions. No opportunity for deflecting to the previous incumbents... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossmcno1 Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Statement is fine to me. Theres no ringing endorsement of the management team in there. Fully suspect part of the review may well be following a particular HR process aligned to a restructure. Which is a damn cheaper way than just paying folk off…. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Obviously negotiations or the “process” is taking a bit longer than they would like. Better to put something out than silence. Fair play, it’s a step up on their recent communications. Wouldn’t be hard, but let’s recognise progress! Also worth noting the sentence “We are not just disappointed in the relegation itself, but also in the manner in which the relegation came about, with standards falling well short of what we all expect.” Kinda hard to back your manager after you’ve fired that particular salvo in public…. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are just impatient. The game was on Saturday, the board had a meeting on Monday, and now we have a statement on Wednesday evening there the only news seems to be that all the changes that were pre-arranged, are happening. Fans want to see progress, I fully agree that the statement in itself is good, and the tones allot better. But if Hughes isn't yeeted then you can expect there to be an outcry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosythpar Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 If Yogi goes could we see a young manager coming in and Meggle as DOF? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be being optimistic, but I'm hoping this is a precursor to him going. Possibly those leaving didn't want to be seen to be responsible for that? Total speculation though.

That was my thoughts. I think the fact that there's no defence of Hughes might be a positive. Not sure if Hughes would want Meggle getting more hands on.

Not sure if Hughes would was Meggle getting more hands on. Looks like Meggle will be dealing with the transfers maybe. Meggle has a lot of contacts so wouldnt be surprised if a new manager comes in that is unknown to us. I think going by that statement it will be announced shortly that Yogi is away and a new structure in place. I think Whittaker will go to Fleetwood with Brown and Shields will move into a role with the academy which he originally came over to do. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
