    I wholeheartedly disagree . This team is by far the worse I’ve seen in nearly 40 years !
    The club is in a downward spiral and the owners do not give a toss

    I'm asking you for a factual definition of who is Pacific Media Group.
    I ask because your previous post leads to make me think you don't mean them.

    I genuinely don't think so Micky. I think people look through Rose glasses before and more critically now.
    I think that we've some good players with fried heads. I spoke to a family member of one of the players today. Their comment was it's hard. They are playing to Devaney's instructions and wouldn't say more than that.

    Big pre season. Get them fit and feeling good and we will be fine.

    They have had 4 managers this season so far . Are they all to blame ? The players downed tools when val and the rest of the coaching staff left ! The attitude from the players as been woeful . Same mistakes made time and time again . The player should take some blame

    Okay then. be Blunt time.

    Pacific Media Group an entertainment company in China and it's joint owned by two people. Grace Hung and Paul Conway. I think you are suggesting Chien Lee above, Maybe Neerrav Perekh and maybe also James Cryne. None of the latter have ownership of Pacific Media Group.

    I sit next to one of the teams better players dads they can’t wait to be off. Not because they aren’t committed but because of the absolute state of the club

    Maybe isn’t a fact. Google harder. When you can differentiate between your arse and your elbow get back to me Hemsy.

    What parents say isn't necessarily what the players think. I know for a fact one parent of a player of another team was so so critical of the manager, their child was looking for a transfer etc etc. Said child was actually very happy where they were and totally respected the manager. No parent is going to say it's their kid's fault they're playing rubbish!

    completely agree. All I’ve picked up is that we are not a happy ship but everyone knows that anyway.

    That's as much as anyone's uncovered on Conway's background to be fair

    But other than being an investment banker, media financier and frat boy, what exactly are his credentials for being so hands on in managing sporting operations at an English football club as he was last summer?

    That's also not the background of a man qualified to deal with a community based sporting institution.

    The CEO should also be called out for his actions and lack of answers on multiple occasions throughout the season. The Supporters Rep/s don't seem to have the same vigour as they do with Conway.

    Easy to blame one person rather than scrutinise the lot.

    Are you trying to prove that PMG are competent in running a business like ours - which is measured by us in terms of league position - or that they have money? Or what?

    Their wealth is irrelevant if they are not prepared to invest and have no sensible strategy for maintaining our club in The Championship.

    On any measurement scale they are failing. Probably even on their own.

    Just ignore him.

    Everyone stick him on ignore. He's a moron, don't bite to his idiocy.

    From what I can gather Wilson and Devaney are to blame and The Board are saints. Tommy Opposite strikes again.

    If it was chucking it down, Hemsworth would argue it was sunny.

    Just ignore him.
