Khaled El Ahmad tonight....

In reply to saying at Garrison recently he wouldn’t sack someone after 15 games, K says it’s been 16 jokingly. Released after lunch yesterday “for several reasons”. Says was a nice man, realises frustration but doesn’t like personal attacks. MS handled himself well, said byes.

MS came in this morning and met all players and wished them all luck. K: “It’s never easy but it’s football”. Why now not after two games then the break. “Every game is important. The data points to the right time. We made up mind so did it straight away.”

Are we going overseas or here? K says it’s about getting the right man and everyone welcome to apply. Phone been “going nuts” from football legends to ones club been looking at.

K: There is criteria. No timescales at the moment. Now to fans questions. What are goals over next five years? K: Vision still stable in Champ (7-14th fight for playoffs). No situation where we don’t exist. Financially sound and stay true to style. More revenue and fans.

Stadium redevelop? K: Goal of the club is stay at Oakwell. Any rumours not true. Needs big development with stakeholders (assume means Council again). Cashless all over. More ovens signed off today. Developed offices.

Why are you treating fans with utter contempt? K: Powerful words. Sorry it says that. Operational, CEO decision who is responsible if something happens. Not fulfilling Equality Act. Reasons are not to treat fans with contempt. No date to open up.

K: So, so close to Coventry and Luton games without fans (safety certificate). Would have been fine and points deduction. Decision made for best for club.

Back to MS timings. K: outside factors on top (like injuries) but spoke to players and saw training. Reviewed style of play, data, points the club felt was time.

 

Cheers for the review.

 

Is making money on player sales the priority over team performance and league position? He seemed to suggest that in a recent interview...

 

Anything asked about the academy?

 

I am not there im getting ot all off Matchday Drinkers Twitter
If you have Twitter you can follow on there

 

Seemed to miss quite a lot of context out last time so I'll wait. Thanks anyway.

 

West Stand, Equality Act? Points deduction? OK so I take it Leppings Lane stand at S6 to be closed any day now?
That numerous other clubs will have stands closed because they're old, too steep for anyone with mobility issues who are covered by the provisions of the equality act?
To band that claim around please have an understanding of the legislation.

 

When asked about the three quarters of a million pound taken out of the club he says he will have to look into it. Does he ever do his homework? Or is he just there to fob people off? I wonder if he knows how many people got a refund yet?

 

Ex reds and legends ringing phone off the hook, guess Mick will be put through to the answer phone.

 

Le Grand Fob Off!!! Matchdays drinkers don't see the issue with it?????? Guess the answer will arrive at the same time as the vouchers. Maybe Mr Conway wanted an all-inclusive in Cancun with his massively extended family. Or maybe it all went on legal fees trying to understand the Equality Act. Certainly wasn't on structural engineers or builders.

 

He'd prefer an inexperienced manager than someone with experience to keep us up apparently.

Translation: resale value

 

Might see if my local butcher, milkman or postman are interested in a career change.
Inexperienced means low wages, low contract exit fee, a Man City connection who's currently running their bairns.

 

We're ****** aren't we?

 

A clear example of why some questions should be passed to the CEO ahead of the meeting. He was asked about the £750k at the last session. He has no intention of looking into it.

 

Yep because we've got a board and owners who just want to make money and a (poor) mouthpiece as a puppet CEO

 

Does anyone press him on issues Paxman stylee? ........But Khaled concerns were raised at the last meeting re the missing £750k, did u not think to prepare an answer for this meeting? Did u not think it would be asked again? When will you have an answer on this matter for the supporters?

 

You may have just, totally by accident, put Paul Harsley’s name in the frame there.
Didn’t he leave us to go to Man City in some youth coaching position?
of course, he could well have moved on by now.

 

I do like the word supposition; it's provides no defence or argument. Thus my ideas, musings and silly ideas of how they've spent the money.
Only way to break that cycle is be transparent, truthful and provide evidence.
All we are getting is soundbites, where's the documentary evidence of FA threats or the structural HSE report saying we need to shut the stand or else?

I've never gone after the owners, but I'm here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I'm still to put milk on sugar puffs.

We fans need to apply pressure to get the truth, it's our club. Also if anyone from the Chroncile or Yorkshire Post are reading this, crack on.

 

I’ve said nothing about not seeing an issue I wrote I don’t fully follow it which should hopefully mean people read my update on that with that view in mind. Clear fans not happy
