It would be really nice........

if we could have one day where someone doesn’t post about abusing GG and the owners about what they have or haven’t done.
I know it’s hard waiting with no info coming out etc,
Yes speculate about players and incoming management and offer opinions but we are where we are, let’s get behind the club instead of trying to destroy it within.
Give them the Summer, let them recruit and then we can judge.
Just saying....

 

Far too reasonable, posting like that. It'll never catch on...

 

Or you know, they could communicate with the thousands of creditors who support the club

 

About what? They've nowt to tell us yet.

 

The plan to get us back into the championship maybe?
What supporter based things have been shelved due to relegation.
What timescales theyre working to.
Lots of things

 

They only have themselves to blame

 

I'm happy to wait until they feel ready to tell me summat. No rush. I don't need a daily dose of "nothing to say at Oakwell, but here's some meaningless media ****** anyway".

Social media has a lot to answer for.

 

What is the plan to get us back promoted? How much did relegation hurt you? Why the small increase in season pass prices? Who put forward Morais as potential coach? Who's playing head coach by releasing Adam Hammill when the new head coach might have wanted to try and keep him? Why no May season pass catergory? Who chose to get shut of it? Why no letter through the door to get people to buy a season pass when not every fan has internet? Are we any closer to being able to sell every seat in the ground in the future if we need to? Are you trying to keep our local derbies to 3 o clock in the future for the benefit of the fanbase of the club? You said we had a plan in place for relegation, so with that involving sacking Morais nearly two weeks ago, how close are we to a new head coach? Would we go back to having a manager if it means attracting a better calibre of applicants?

In the past fortnight we've let a club legend go and been relegated. We've also heard a big fat zero words spoken or even written from any of the people that matter. We are kept in the dark. The dialog between the owners and the fans is the lowest it's been for a long time. Things can change very quickly, but for now there is nothing to get excited about. You might as well shut our ticket office until August.

 

How incredibly dramatic.

 

The number of people on here who can use a totally unsubstantiated rumour or even a complete lack of knowledge altogether and use it to create a crisis and a reason to point the finger is, frankly, astounding.

 

Lots of really good questions there (better than the dross that Radio Sheffield ask,anyway).
But the thing is, it's only TWELVE DAYS since we lost at Derby. The dust has barely settled yet. We've no idea what's going on behind the scenes and frankly anybody who can't wait a bit longer to find out needs a bloody good sedative.

 

Exactly. I’d rather them focus on planning rather than some half-arsed statement. Some of our fans are so needy.

 

Dramatic, yes, but there are some valid points there.

Mr's Lee, conley etc etc have been noticeable by their absence since relegation, leaving their half arsed appointment to bite the bullet and the mute CEO to carry the can. If (its a big IF) we are successful next season, you know for sure the whole board will be all over it, like flies round ****.

 

Maybe if they hadn’t hiked season ticket prices for disabled supporters than I’d agree as it is they can do one.

 

I’m not sure why people are wanting or expecting board members or shareholders to make statements when we’ve got GG who is the head of the organisation.

The Cryne family still hold shares and both James and Robert Zuk sit on the board but I can’t recall a clamour for either of those two individuals to make a statement.

I am more than happy to be in the dark. Just because it appears quiet to us on the outside that doesn’t mean than GG et al aren’t going about their business effectively and efficiently behind closed doors. I’m a firm believer that business should be conducted in private anyway, for what it’s worth. I don’t see any merit in giving the game away and minimising any advantage we may have by alerting our competitors to our plans, targets, finances and whatever else people seemingly need to know about.

 

I’ve seen that post too and it does make for startling reading at first glance. For what it’s worth I wouldn’t increase disabled ticket prices at all but the post does seem to compare the cost of a disabled ticket at the earliest point of renewal last season, i.e early bird, with the cost of a full price ticket now the early bird offer has lapsed. It reads as though the club have increased the cost of a ticket by £120 which isn’t strictly correct but as I said I wouldn’t have increased at all for that category.

 

At least you tried!

 

I'd very much like to hear who is making the decisions. Did we want to keep Hammill but wages would have been a issue? Or was it as simple as no 're sale value.
We have no manager/coach but someone has decided to let a potentially key player in league one leave. Now I can accept we might not know all the reasons behind that decision but I would like to know who's making them.

 

It’s possible that the decision was made by the player and not the club. He was out of contract this summer but the club had an option to extend his current deal by a further year (I think) which would be an extension of the current Championship wages into League 1. Irrespective of a new manager’s desire one way or the other that simply isn’t feasible so I’m presuming that the club has rejected the option to extend but has instead offered terms of a new deal or at least sounded the player out in respect of the same albeit on reduced wages. If that new deal or proposed new deal has been rejected then there’s little the club can do, in my opinion.

I would’ve liked to see Hammill stay but not on circa £8,000 per week as that’s completely disproportionate.

As for the rest of the retained list there are no surprises and wouldn’t the likes of Hassell and Harsley have a huge say in respect of the academy and U23 renewals anyway as that’s their domain?
