Wholeheartedly agree, there’s a gulf from board from to footballing decisions. We need Tan to be advised by a Sporting Director. Not a Car salesman and a slimy investment banker.
We need a sustainable future not short term rash decisions, which are masqueraded as ‘sensible appointments’
I agree with this....sure he might have the funds, but he blows them in ways unimaginable and then blames whoever, managers, agents bla bla but never his CEO....so clueless. Look at the jacks, they actually sell more managers than they sack....Make huge profits on players transfers and have youth coming through.....meanwhile Tan continues on his fruitless mission listening to all the wrong people and no doubt wondering where it all goes wrong.....I used to dream of us having a wealthy owner 30 years ago instead of Tony Clemo, but I’m not sure what’s worse.....
Capital is a limited success factor, it’s needed to form and establish physical elements. what’s needed is competence and that is manifested by having the people and more importantly skill sets in place. We’ve have relative capital available at the club for years. Yet we’ve not really moved anywhere.
I’d suggest the car salesman are making decisions without any football foundation. For me that’s not a structure. It’s reckless
Is there anything at all that has happened in City's recent past that leads you to believe this will be the case? And does the constitution of the current board suggest to you that somebody with Mick McCarthy's experience couldn't quickly and easily come up with answers that would satisfy Messers Tan, Dalman, Borley and Choo?
Clemo definitely did, but he was simply way out of his depth in all respects. Rick Wright I'm not so sure about, although he did seem to enjoy the adulation he got during his first couple of seasons. Hammam certainly did, as evidenced by the fact that he used to spend so much time with supporters and used to positively revel in his public appearances. He also used to get very upset by criticism from the fans to the point where he even published articles in the programme attacking certain individual supporters. Getting his ego massaged by the fans was one of his main motivations for being involved in football. Tan is a different animal altogether. That much has been blatantly obvious almost from the word go.
Uh, yeah. If you say so.
(Actually, I thought Arter was a one-trick pony of limited use, Camarasa was talented but a bit of a shithouse and Smithies didn't make a single Premier League appearance for City).
I wasn't intending to offer an opinion of any sort. You said you couldn't recall who Warnock signed for City's Premier League team, so I just filled in the blanks for you.
That was a pretty big thing. And it showed who he is and how much he knows.
But apart from that, he's just failed to execute time and time again. He has shown poor judgment. He hasn't learned from his mistakes. He doesn't take appropriate action and just literally phones it in.
If they consulted the fans through the Trust, I'm sure this is one of the points they would bring up.
"The club needs to have an expert in charge of the overall direction we need to go in "
He COULD tell them to go **** themselves but anyone who is open to what their "customers" want would at least bear that in mind.
I'm just sick of this guy doing whatever he wants and then expecting us fans to swallow the whole #CITYASONE bullshit.
Meanwhile, we might have a football club that is in better financial shape but we are going to spend decades watching a merry go round of dinosaurs and journeymen go through the club. We'll become Ipswich or Hull ..... because the club is poorly managed.
