The only qualification for membership of the board appears to be a requirement to know nothing about football so whatever statement was issued I think the plan would be to continue to make it up as they go along.

Warnock’s massive £49m net spend has left us without a single player of Premier League quality and, according to what Harris said last week, no money so it seems we won’t be investing significantly in January. And having paid way over market price and handed out high wage, lengthy contracts we won’t be able to shift anyone without big losses or subsidising wages.
Did he really spend 50 million? I thought we only spent 30 after promotion and we just had 10 back for bobby. The 6 on madine and 5 on glatzel could be the worst but they could yet come good and to be honest in the mental world of football five million seems to get you nothing. Didn’t West Ham spend more than warnocks total budget on one duff player and look where they are? If Tan really wanted to sustain us in the PL he would, he can afford it, possibly follow a model like wolves? You have to know how to run a club and get the right people in mind, and after 10 years I’m not sure he has yet. We’ve never had a top manager, the jacks have had a few and sold them on for example.
