When the day comes I can assure you I wont be doing a Zoom call with the players. No I will be bursting into the dressing room at half time to deliver some full on arse kickings in person. There is a way of doing things but EM was within his rights to lay down the law IMO.

The way we conduct ourselves at the moment with our strategy in transfers makes me think that we don’t protect EMs investment in the same way.

If anything I would like us to act more in EMs interests as they are ultimately our own.

What are the allegations against Vrentzos? That he puts people under pressure to deliver results?, that he has acts as a guardian to the club's owners by forcing overplayed players out who are not performing? Nothing unusual for a ceo of a top company (or club in our case) is there? Pantmillion was poor, Carvalho too. I can see it, he can obviously see it. Maybe he also saw how MoN carried out his business and thought this is not going to work.

And this zoom call by EM. OK, set out in black and white it looks poor form from our owner, but does not everybody in an organisation have a boss who bollocks them when things aren't right? 

I'm not going to suddenly decide if I'm pro or anti Vrentzos all of a sudden because someone has clobbered him in public and there's a sudden witch hunt against an individual. I'll make my own mind up. I know absolutely nothing of the bloke. I could walk right past him and not realise who he is. But currently, I see improvements in the way the club is run year on year. This year we have a top manager and have brought in top players. That's what it's all about really.

All this criticism is ridiculous and could probably be levied at most other clubs in the country. Look at the S**t show down the road.

The only criticism I'm prepared to make is that someone needs to be speaking to the fans.

Totally. Oh and £100m wont get you very far mate. Maybe you should be thinking about buying the sadpies instead.

I haven’t mentioned Vrentzos?

We have a recruitment team that does that. Just because DT says this or that it doesn't make him right. I really don't want to start all this again so i will stop now  :cool:
