Mehmet Dalman live Q&A this Thursday

Re: Mehmet Dalman live Q&A this Thursday

Mrs Citizen and I pay for STs each year, go in all weather, follow the results, buy the occasional program and bit of merchandise. The only reason we do all of this is so I can come on here and nit pick and wind you up. We all need a purpose in life.

So do loads of other people but the vast majority don't feel the need to come on here and have a go at the the Chairman because he dared not to know such startlingly important facts such as how many season tickets have been sold. 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.

Not that important a question granted, but he did say he was updated on matters financial by Ken Choo every day so it would seem reasonable to assume that such a conversation included an update on season ticket sales income.

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.

Re: Mehmet Dalman live Q&A this Thursday

I think that it's a bit unfair to load up on the bloke who was asking the questions. He doesn't represent anyone but himself, it's his podcast, and lets be honest, he really wasn't the most articulate in terms of probing questions. 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!

Does anyone know the guy Si who hosts that site and who carried out the interview? Seemed to be out of his depth, quite unprofessional in terms of a lack of any interview preparation. And why him to do the interview - did Mehmet think that it would be an easy ride compared to speaking to fans direct?

Fair play to him in many respects, I just think he was very ill prepared/equipped, and should/could have done a far better job.
It was a great opportunity and he turned it into mashed potato.
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:

He's just a fan with a computer, no more complicated than that i reckon. :thumbup:

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.

Didn't Si say at the start that this was the third time Mehmet Dalman had done a Q&A on the site/channel?
