The Silence Is Deafening

[Sausage Roll]

Following this post from Paplane in another thread it got me thinking:

''AK is the most slippery manager we've had in ages. He never gives anything away and everything he says is guarded. He knows, we know, the media know that we've signed this Karim guy but he just can't bring himself to say it.

I just don't listen to his interviews anymore. 

It's also terrible IMO that apart from two letters from the Chairman, we've heard absolutely diddly squat from either the CEO, chairman, or owners since they all took over control of the club. I'd like to know what the opinion of the club is/was with regard to say, the sale of Brereton & Assombolonga, the purchase of Carvallho, the sacking of Warbs and replacement with AK, the approach to FFP etc etc. Surely it's not too much to ask for someone in authority to stand in front of a mic twice a year and just give a bit of background info''?

Now, during my 20 odd years of living in Greece and being around Greek football I can't ever remember Giannis Vrentzos giving an interview, never.

Marinakis also doesn't give many interviews, they are very very rare.

However like Paplane said above, why can't we hear from Randall, Dowling or Metgod once in a while?

What was the thinking behind the sales of Assombolonga and Brereton? What is the clubs view on safe standing for the start of next season? Are there any plans to build a new Main Stand?  What is the current situation at the club rearding FFP etc etc.

It's hugely frustrating and annoying not to hear what's going on at OUR club.

The fans deserve better. We did our bit by breaking season ticket sales records.

Is it asking too much to get a bit of news from the club back in return?

I can see both sides to this.

I'm not one of these people who think the club should tell us every little thing, but it would be nice to get an idea of some of the things that are going on behind the scenes - particularly around infrastructure. I can't see the club giving any information about transfer policy (e.g. the sales of BA and BB) - and to be honest, they have no obligation to.

I can understand why they haven't made any statements or communications though, if there's nothing to communicate. Our fans tend to jump on every little thing that's said or even rumoured - e.g. the two infrastructure projects mentioned late last year.

It would be nice to hear something from Marinakis, Vrentzos, Randall or Cook, but only if there's something to hear. Not just for the sake of it.
