There are better chairmen, there are probably a lot more who are worse. What we've lacked for a long time is a local presence. Technically everything can be discussed over zoom or the phone, but it's no substitute for face-to-face meetings.

Dalman seems to be very affable but, as other posters have said, it's very surprising that he has no idea of the income stream due from ticket sales this season.
I’ve only watched the first half an hour or so, was he asked about the recent share issue?
No - unfortunately.Quote:

Perhaps the interviewer should have asked him what sized shoes the manager wears. I am sure we would all have been waiting with baited breath to see if he could answer that one as well.Quote:

The whole interview was very badly hosted, missing out a number of questions raised by fans and seemed mainly a PR exercise for the host and/or an internal club publicity mission rather than a two way interaction with fans. Reminded me a bit of the staged interview with Vincent Tan some years ago when a paid interviewer asked scripted and rehearsed questions of the owner.
I'm trying to find something to cheer me up now. It's all gone a bit mad.
Maybe imagining Dalman being interviewed by Alan Partridge will lift my mood.
At least his questions would have been smarter.Quote:

Something like this should be done through the trust, where we have some articulate fans who know what to ask and understand how a football club works. Maybe Mehmet doesn't fancy something a little more taxing. This bloke is just a fan who seems happy as larry with what he does. A bit cruel to have a pop at him in my opinion.
Be careful Jon, he's got family around the corner from you!Quote:

Not saying I could have done any better, but I'd have at least had the sense to gather a top 30 or 40 quality questions rather than doing it on the fly!!
Fair enough mate, i understand what you are saying. I just don't think that the bloke was equipped if you know what i mean. And for that reason i just think it's a little harsh to be too critical of something that he probably wasn't up to doing. :thumbup:Quote:

Fair play. Kudos to him getting the gig with Mehmet in the first place. That's more than any of us miserable gits on here did, and we've had something football related to talk about for a change. F*ck me, we need more happy as Larry people in the world.Quote:
