There will be an open meeting with Daniel Stendel, Dane Murphy and Rob Zuck next Tuesday 27th (change of date) in the Legends Suite. Doors open 6.30 for a 7pm start. Everyone welcome. If you can't make it and have a question. Please post it here
On holiday next week unfortunately, will there be notes posted on here? Be nice to read them on the beach.
The fast, attacking, pressing style of football we try to play is nullified at times by playing on a swamp of a pitch. Does Daniel ask for it to be watered (or overwatered as per Tuesday) and if so, why?
Can remember last season it had been raining all week and on morning of game , low n behold sprinklers came on at half time
They were on for 5 mins each half before the match and 5 mins each half at HT. As you say, not exactly a dry month so far thanks to our old friend St. Swithen, and it had peed it down all day Tuesday.
Questions for Dane Murphy, Robert Zuk and Daniel Stendel Dane Murphy / Daniel Stendel Do you think that our transfer dealings have resulted in a balanced squad, because from the outside looking in, it looks like we have too many young players and not enough height in the forward line? Who were the players that we missed that you think would have made a difference? Daniel Stendel asked for experience. Experienced does not necessarily mean old, but why did we miss out on that experience? With so many changes, it is bound to take time for the team to settle. When will performances begin to even out, in your opinion? A Chief Coach who does not get the squad he wants will struggle to get results on the field. How will the CEO measure the performance of the Chief Coach in these circumstances? Isn’t it true that the Chief Coach is no longer called Team Manager because his duties and responsibilities are different? Isn’t it true that the gradual improvement to the squad young players is more important to a business with our modus operandi (buy young, improve and sell on) than winning games. Does the club have any plans to strengthen again in the January transfer window? Mr Conway is reputed to have said that the club would break its transfer record in the last window. I assume that we missed out on the player(s) that would have achieved that. Did we fail because we failed to agree a fee with a selling club, or did we fail because we failed to agree terms with a player? Robert Zuk I notice that as per the last published accounts to 31 May 2018 (note 3), our turnover was almost £14m. Almost £8m of that sum was revenue from Football League Distributions, Whilst Match Day Revenue was just £3.6m. Not included in that figure of £14m (as per note 7 Player Trading) the Profit on Player Sales was almost £3.8m. Just how important are the fans (winning games) when their contribution to total turnover is only 3rd on the above list. Mr Conway stated that we had lost £6m in turnover when we were relegated at the end of the above season. What contingency plans has the club made in case it is relegated again this season? Why has the club registered a charge with Barclays Bank Ltd on 3rd July 2019?
How much did the current consortium pay to Mr Cryne for the football club? (I know it's absolutely none of our business but we'd all love to know...)
Is there a god? What are the chances of an olive emporium being installed into the East stand? Why do you think this transfer window was more successful than the one in 1996 and did you consider this before making such a bold statement ?
If it is found that the squad needs strengthening before January. Would the club consider free agents?
With how full regular home ends were for the Fulham game, what plan is in place to make the north side of the West stand available for tickets for bigger games coming up such as Leeds?
