Not on twitter so have to ask here
Was there a leak in the club and if so has it been plugged
Have we signed a striker but unable to announce it
What is the medium term plan for the club as we know the short term plan is to balance the books which is absolutely right
How long are Colwill Davies Ralls and Adams out injured
Why hasn't SM done any mainstream interviews in pre season

Er - not sure that the chairman of the club can answer questions about injured players. Plus announcing that we have signed a striker when it has to be kept under wraps for contractual reasons is not something a club can do without permission from the player and other club. Plus what difference does it make if the manager does mainstream interviews in pre-season or not - he is not under any obligation to do so, the games are low key affairs and he has been interviewed a number of times on the club tv channel and local news programmes. It is likely that mainstream interviews will follow when the season actually starts. Fans are not in any position to demand anything of a manager really.

I believe managers are not allowed to do full press conferences until 1st competitive match.

Re: Mehmet Dalman live Q&A this Thursday
Any update on Whitts' memorial match? Any other plans to honour him?

Re: Mehmet Dalman live Q&A this Thursday
I;d love to know who some of the players we've tried to bring in, but haven't managed to get it done.
Aside from Bale obviously

Hasn’t the date been set for November during the World Cup?

Appreciate your points and my post was a bit tongue in cheek but I would still like to know all of the above 👍

Re: Mehmet Dalman live Q&A this Thursday
Perhaps he will say what the £19m share issue is all about as the Club have not done so yet.

Wouldn't mind knowing what's happening with these outstanding court cases against us.

Update on the Sala situation, just dates etc, probably can't say much else yet?

I got the impression the Scam Hammam case had pretty much been dealt with, anyone know what's happening with the Michael Isaac one?

Re: Mehmet Dalman live Q&A this Thursday
Like others, I would like to hear more about the status of the court cases, the reasoning behind the share issue, whether the club has decided it now wants a strategy, the plans for the academy, ambitions for the season ahead and a personal view on the state of football in the UK after Covid and in the middle of various new crises.
I don't expect to get an injury update from Mehmet Dalman, but maybe something on further recruitment and the prospects of two new strikers rolling up any time soon (and another winger if I was greedy). That is something Dalman would know.
As dml1954 keeps telling us, we are customers of the club and have no right to any information. But this type of public Q&A goes a long way to build relationships and increase some level of trust in the owner and board. It is good practice and can have commercial benefits for the club too. Silence feels like incompetence or contempt. Rumours and resentment fill any vacuum.
I just saw this Q&A piece with Dean Hoyle at Huddersfield. He used to do these regularly with the local media and fan groups. It covers some of the ground I would like Mehmet Dalman to discuss - and at a level of detail that helps fans to understand what is going on.

Some possible questions to ask
1. the club has no full time directors, which is very unusual for a football club or any other business of this size. Is it the intention to change this in the near future?
2. there has been a recent share issue of £19m in order to comply with the EFL Profitabiity and Sustainability rules. This is welcome support from Vincent Tan as owner but are the directors now confident ,with the recent big reduction in player wage bills etc. that this will not need to be repeated in the future?.
3. Losing David Hughes to Manchester United is a big loss. Are the club well advanced in finding his replacement and who is advising on the suitability of candidates for the job?
4. Have CAS advised the club of a likely date for issuing their verdict on the Emiliano Sala case as the hearing itself was at the beginning of March?

The role of a chairperson is to oversee the running of the club or league and ensure that it is run efficiently and managed appropriately. They will lead club or league meetings and provide leadership in all areas. The Secretary is one of the most important roles in a club or league according to Google

Re: Mehmet Dalman live Q&A this Thursday
Question for Mehmet: what was the story behind the club signing the McKay twins on two-and-a-half year deals in January 2018? How come you as Chairman rubber-stamped such a deal when there was absolutely nothing to suggest that either Paul McKay or Jack McKay were ever likely to make the grade at a professional football club that was pushing for promotion to the Premier League at the time they were signed?

Are questions edited before they are put to Mehmet?
Can questions be sent in to be put to Mehmet by the presenter if the questioner is unable to attend in person?

Absolutely. Why would he know anything about them? He's only the chairman after all. Heaven forbid he knows anything about the players at all....
