I think that Nicholas Randalls position should be filled by Stuart Pearce or maybe Martin O'Neill people with true unadulterated integrity, then I would actually listen to what someone from this niche in the club has to say, it would be a terrific way to relate honestly with the fans, even help the owner, and just an exceptional understanding of football clubs from the boot room to the boardroom. I didn't realise until a couple of weeks ago that Stuart Pearce is involved as 'team coach' with West Ham after seemingly upsetting the West Ham board for telling it how it is. The bottom line maybe that telling it how it is is ultimately what sells season tickets, secures 1st class signings and wises the club up to achieve success. I'm really thinking Stuart Pearce to be honest, he did do exceptionally well in the transfer market and had no fear bringing on the kids, stamped on Paul Ince and put Letissier in row D, bent Karen Brady over the boardroom table, I mean the guy is a rare breed and should be here.

Part 2 is out
Havent got the time or the will right now. Just seen Tails brief tweets on the stand redevelopment, sounds like a load of long winded waffle saying they dont know yet.

I’ve just watched / listened to the latest interview with Nicholas Randall.
Split into 3 headings:
Football & Academy
Community & Fan Engagement
City Ground Redevelopment
NR again comes over as a ‘safe pair of hands’. He certainly doesn’t fall into the trap of over promising - cautious about the timescales for both Cat 1 status for the academy ( hopeful of this Summer but - more likely - a recommendation leading to full Cat 1 at a later date ) & ground redevelopment ( hopeful / confident of planning permission in the Summer ).
He is at pains to reaffirm the commitment of the owner & the long term aspirations of the football club.
This may fall short of what some might have been expecting - but I found the interview(s) to be reasoned, balanced & wholly sensible.
It seems to me that EM will deliver on the ground, academy etc - although timing may be a little longer than we would’ve hoped for.
We are still very dependent upon CH - supported by Gary Brazil & the recruitment team - to deliver the holy grail. In this little / nothing has changed.

I did allow myself wry smile when NR mentioned 'The Miracle Gates', as if to answer Daniel Taylors constant mentioning of them not having materialised yet!

Ha. He was right though - they are still in the plans ( unlike what some thought ) :D

I wanted the interviewer to ask which Forest players have been cherry picked by Olympiakos :angel:
