Petriix 2,838 Posted May 7, 2023 To be honest I can't fault anything she's written. She's hardly going to come out and say "Stewie hasn't been good enough - in the boardroom or the bedroom, 90% isn't enough. We're sending him on loan to Leeds, along with all the sh1t players he's signed and bringing back Farke, literally riding on a horse out of the tunnel." 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,379 Posted May 7, 2023 At this point I'm fairly sure they could announce free season tickets for everyone and the majority would kick off about blindly cutting off a vital revenue stream. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terminally Yellow 2,448 Posted May 7, 2023 Yeah if you were to predict what it is she was going to say, I expect this would be pretty much spot on. Confirms Stuart is going to make his usual statement - but not to whom. Two things I did think interesting; Quote Our intention is to come back stronger, and to mount a challenge for promotion playing football that is admired and cherished by our fanbase.  Could have said the aim for next season is to mount a promotion push; this puts extra pressure to ensure the style of football is good too. Quote We are entering a new era and some of the focus will be on our young players as we prepare to establish and assemble another talented group. Sounds like an emphasis on youth? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,537 Posted May 7, 2023 The problem is the focus has changed from disappointment with results to personal dislike and worse. Expect to see pictures of them with clown faces or even animal faces. Some of these 'critics' need to dehumanise their targets before they can go full venom.  Seen it all before.   1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s clear Webber will talk in more detail soon. The two points you picked up on are interesting though for the exact reasons you say. They know supporters want a better style of football and are acknowledging that, although it invites greater pressure. Youth players will continue to feature prominently. I’ve nothing against that personally, in fact surely we all want to see talent come through? as long as they get the experience mix right which it feels like it hasn’t been recently.

Promoting the Youth because we have no money due to her Hubbie Pi$$ing it up the wall , I do not mind promoting youth and like to see Talent coming through but that statement to me sounds like Zoe is dressing it up a bit like its a plan instead of a forced measure due to someone spending all the money on players not good enough 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We've had our youngest starting eleven for recent games at this level anyway. Looking forward to next season already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,237 Posted May 7, 2023 Well that confirms Webber is going nowhere anytime soon. Looking forward to hearing his thoughts and plans in the coming weeks (sounds like he's off on holiday). Glad to hear the focus will be on promotion as ultimately that's what we all want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
essex canary 496 Posted May 7, 2023 She could have told us what Foulger has achieved since he sold his shares. As she herself said she wouldnt be sitting here if it wasnt for Parachute Payments and we have mortgaged those I would expect her to write 'I resign.'

With Pukki, Dowell and Byram leaving and Hanley out until at least Christmas our squad is incredibly young. Krul is 34, Gunn is 27 as is Giannoulis. Hanley is 31, Gibson 30, McLean 31, Hernandez is 30, Sorensen is 25. Unless I am mistaken, that is now every player we have under contract that is older than 23. Every other player is 23 and younger. If we are not focusing on youth, and if the club said that, you'd assume that we'd be selling a lot of our younger players off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mello Yello 2,296 Posted May 7, 2023 Didn't Zoe mention the new pool at Colney?.....Due to our current financial restraints the Club has had to reassess the type of pool to be installed....although a few of the squad seem to be ok with it..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted May 7, 2023 Wish she would control her stupid husband  "following this season's dross I have decided to hold stu to ransom in the bedroom. I assured him no more sex unless we do the double on ipswich and get promoted. If you see him blue balling about, call him Neil Warnock, as that's the only action he will be getting until we go back up. Rest assured when he tells me he's getting a Brazilian he actually does mean a footballer. Zoe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardhouse44 261 Posted May 7, 2023 Unfortunately no indication of how we will facilitate the massive improvements required next season to achieve promotion.  That I fear is because it’s going to rely on luck, luck and more luck.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
