RvWs 4 year contract 0 Posted June 5, 2014 You mean like they said they were happy with Hughton only to reveal afterwards they would have sacked him in January in ideal circumstances? My faith in the Board has been rocked. Up to them to improve that- and I dont think I''m the only supporter who feels like that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TCCANARY 263 Posted June 5, 2014 I think if he had the chance Chase would''ve introduced a talking charge, then it wouldn''t have been cheap. The chairman has proved in the past that he''s trustworthy when speaking about transfer funds so we can confidently look forward to some exciting activities.

Some people aren''t happy with the Adams/Royle/Holt/Robson appointments (rightly or wrongly).It''s hardly the past when it''s happening right now, just seems like another little old Narwich decision.I hope we win the league by a massive margin next year but as I''ve said, the Board HAS made mistakes (they''ve admitted it!) and it''s up to them to rectify that.

ZLF 335 Posted June 5, 2014 I think that we do have exciting times ahead and its on the club to seize that opportunity. But what does todays statement really add? What does our targets are available mean? I am sure the list is quite extensive and so its nothing new, and I had no illusions that we were going to stick with our existing squad, we have parachute payments and we will use it, I dont think we will necessarily use all of it and that is a good thing. I just cant get excited (negatively or positively) by banal press statements like these. I meant all the words on this thread as well as the chairmans comments; I do think we will spend and that there is plenty of time. I dont feel angst that we have not yet signed anyone, nor that we are going to hell in a hand cart under the clubs board and management, but nor does the bew management team inspire me. I think we have a strong squad and the board have chosen their management team. Come mid august I will have my first true sense of the cluibs direct and whether I have been remiss in not being excited by the well structured management team. Until then word remain ...

Guest Posted June 5, 2014 I think the statement was no more than the pre cursor to the Grabban signing.If we analyze every single thing that is said or released from CR in the close season then we would have more plots than 9/11! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will you only give them credit on days when we buy a player?Surely you must recognise the ambition in the chairmans words and the clubs actions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RvWs 4 year contract 0 Posted June 5, 2014 Mate we''ve just been relegated...Apologies for not being completely pro the way they went about things last year! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TCCANARY 263 Posted June 5, 2014 So you''re not completely anti then, and I did tell you earlier not to dwell in the past, you forgotten that a bit too quickly.Don''t forget the Chairmans words are about the future, even if you have been upset about the past and are unsure about the present it''s the future that''s important.

RvWs 4 year contract 0 Posted June 5, 2014 I''m not anti the Board per se as I can recognise they''ve done a lot of good for us, met all of them a few times as well and they''re very nice people (although so was HOOTUN and that didnt do him any favours did it?!).I think once we get into next season properly we''ll be able to put last season behind us.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TCCANARY 263 Posted June 5, 2014 With each post you get a little bit more positive, I think I''m having a good influence on you, pretty soon you could be smiling, maybe you might even bring forward that last optimistic bit forward to pre-season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
