The Fish Seller 0 Posted June 14, 2009 What five year plan are you proposing IBA?Year 1 consolidation in league 1year 2 strengtheningyear 3 push for playoffsyear 4 promotionyear 5 consolidation in championship(New 5 year plan)year 1 strengtheningyear 2 push for playoffsyear 3 promotion????????????If all goes to plan we could be back in the Prem in 8 years this way. Sorry call me old fashioned but ''x'' year plans are just a way of disguising failure and buying time in my language, by the time the plan has failed to come to fruition the people responsible have done their job and been paid (ultimately for failure) for a number of years. Politics are a prime example of this mentality, checkout the Labour election manifestos, cross reference to what has been accomplished as opposed to what was promised then look at how well the Government MP''s have done in between making those promises and being exposed in their failures.

Inch High aka Inchy.. 409 Posted June 14, 2009 I don''t believe for one minute that you are serious.How about a 2 year plan, year 1 promotion from league 1, year 2 promotion from championship. There I shaved 3 years off already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted June 14, 2009 no.. we need a 1 year plan, simple as! look at Leicester city.. they went up first time of asking.. getting stuck at this level for 5 years and we may never recover! Ask Leeds fans what staying at that level for any length of time can do to you.the sooner we bounce back up the better. we need to build from the bottom over the summer and get the right mix of kids and experiance to prepare for the championship.. once we go back up then lets have that 5 year plan.. but now its all hands to the pump! jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Show Me What You Gooot! 0 Posted June 14, 2009 We don''t keep managers long enough to make 3/4/5 year plans so whats the point. And as someone said earlier its just a way of buying time and covering up failed attempts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthur Whittle 0 Posted June 15, 2009 Unbelievable. I''ve tried to find a middle ground with you recently IBA and than you come up with this! How long are you going to give this lot? Jeez we are now playing 3rd tier football and you come out with such ideas as ''5 year plans''? Utter nonsense and the sooner you get with whats happening to our club the better place we will be in. All fans need to start realizing the mistakes made and stop giving this Board excuses and time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SplatCat 18 Posted June 15, 2009 whittle!! you are a joke mate, a complete joke!!! getting rid of the board would do what exactly??? they''ve just got a new chief exec in, new directors are on the way, thats just the shake the club needs, to get rid of the board for one can''t be done and for two would be completely pointless other than two satisfy idiots like you! you''re being totally naive if you think the grass is greener, fact is we''re strapped for cash and the board is doing their best, fact is every manager we''ve had recently has praised the board for the funds they''ve made available for them, not complained about it.literally one important mistake has been made by the board in recent times: appointing peter grant. he was that bad.

The Fish Seller 0 Posted June 15, 2009 We can''t have a five year plan anyway because we are already in year two of the last three year plan so even a one or two year plan is technically going to be a three or four year plan and starting a five year plan now would make it up to a seven year plan in truth or a six year plan in the very least if we ignore the closed season.Aide memoire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SplatCat 18 Posted June 15, 2009 actually i''d prefer the list of ''dozens'' to be honest, i''d be interested.ah yes, winging back 13 years to when delia saved this club from going under, those were the days...to be honest you talk of the board ''getting things right'' and I haven''t get a clue what you mean, do you mean sitting happily in mid table in the premier league? cos i''ve no reason to think that should be the natural order of things at all if thats what you''re implying. fact is this club should be a yoyo club, some years in the prem, some years out, but nonetheless competing, a current west brom or someone like that. now we were there a few years ago, (presumably you praised the board as much for the clubs success as you knock them for the clubs failings?) and unfortunately we screwed up. just. was always going to be close and thats the way it goes. but to appoint a rookie manager to get us back up into the prem, and to back him as well, alot, theres a massive failing that you can definitely point to. there could have been others, like getting rid of worthy immediately when we went down, but who can know that sort of one for sure, the grant one is the only one in my book that you can call a certain mistake. he and then roeder screwed us up in my book, nothing to do with the board other than they haven''t got that much money, which isnt really their fault Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Fish Seller 0 Posted June 15, 2009 [quote user="El capitano"]nothing to do with the board other than they haven''t got that much money, which isnt really their fault[/quote]I don''t blame them for not having ''that much money'' but I do blame them for taking the vast profits generated on the pitch in recent years and using them elsewhere. Maybe knowing they didn''t have that much money they should have left the profits generated by the team with the team and not bothered speculating in the property market, just a thought?

Bury Yellow 2 Posted June 15, 2009 Ironic that you use a capital letter for your name and then give up from thereon in. Oh BTW what has Roeder being appointed to do with being short of cash?After the ''Delia saved the club'' nonsense, i actually agreed with you until the money excuse.The club has lacked leadership from the top and had a poor CEO for a very long time. Hopefully the new man will bring some real business acumen and professionalism to the top.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
