They are not even calling the get together like they did with collins oh it is so quiet. As for the manager/coach, we'll I didn't like Collins but I think he was a bit more professional and fan orientated than Clarke
Like I said mate no idea on the validity but based on what I'd seen if they were fake then they were very very good fake of what we're a monologue of direct messages from her account, based on her responses and understanding of frustration in her dialogue with a supporter, she was as shocked as they were. Like I said take it all with a pinch of salt, I've certainly no dog in the fight to defend or not defend her or others
I think DC has been shat on from a great height and it would be a disgrace if they make him the scapegoat for another's failings.

Because IMO JAQ knew full well what was going on in regards to potential transfer activity and is now in denial mode. The heat is on the board, Malden's now the fall guy. Last season it was Collins.
Doesn't she only own about 11%? I'd be gobsmacked if she has any input whatsoever in recruitment, bud. I think she probably would for director of football etc, but nowt on players. Might be wrong but just can't see it.
If the Sporting Director felt vindicated in what business we have done and came out and told us you would kind of believe it was the plan - but when they hide that clearly tells me that they failed and now hiding away from it. Piss poor leadership.
I'd go along with this too, I'm not privy so stand to be corrected but the whole idea of a director of football is to work with a strict budget and salary cap, closely with the recruitment team. We have absent owners in other parts of the world who don't get involved in the nuts and bolts, that was half the issue and why we brought in a DOF, it would be remiss to think they wouldn't sign off on deals but the whole idea of Nareev and JAQ sat looking through data and video's is bonkers.
Given Sormaz is supposedly responsible for our playing style and recruitment, the only way I could currently have even less faith in him is if he was found to be a coward.
Is he really in charge of our formation etc? We've played like this since before he came. It was more fluid & attacking but the formation and the broad intent of it has stayed the same
Despised once he lost power but until that point there were a few defending him strongly. Changed their opinion very quickly when power shifted to others though.
I'd love to know who is REALLY behind that because it has to be someone but nobody will admit responsibility
Sormaz isn’t just an employee, he’s a Board Director. Which other shareholders did you mean? Zuk, Flatman, Crynes, Parekh & JAQ are the only other Directors. There is no one else.
Yeah that's my thinking, mate. Maybe it is, maybe not, but it is concerning. I know Clarke has changed formations and systems etc in game, but I don't remember us ever starting with a different formation.
