Clarke I don't understand not being there, but maybe JAQ is busy. Apart from her own company, and BFC, she is very busy with her FA role (I see her popping up at various worldwide events on LinkedIn).
I quite understand the manager not being there. I don’t think it’s appropriate for him to be at these things. The questions that we have are for the board and they need to answer them. If anyone asks Clark about the squad or transfer business then it’s not like he’s going to turn around and say they’re s*** with his bosses Sat next to him is he.
I quite like the idea of an absolute free for all royal rumble lol. With Clarke and the fans throwing verbal snow balls, and chairs and beer bottles at each other. Maybe he can give as good as he gets, it sounds like he's got the gift of the gab!.
Agreed, whilst we all want to know what’s going on with the team and its performances this is an opportunity to speak to the decision makers on bigger picture stuff like stadium, fanzones, plans, recruitment and strategies. Team stuff should and am sure will come in future meetings.
Yeah having the manager/coach there, answering questions right next to his bosses, is a bit dodgy. I wish somebody would have asked... "Hey Collins, what about the disgraceful way this lot are running the club, ehh ?".
