how you can even put them in the same bracket as overson is just laughable. That’s the point. you’re the one who called these super fans. Not me.
Oh I wish I had a shit moustache and a badly knitted hatyou got me.
Well I'm more than happy to hear thingsso what goes on at the club doesn’t matter on fans forum?
oh I get it. You only want to hear the good things. Anything that sounds bad it’s not allowed to be posted. fuck me. That’s what you called bury your head in the sand.

Where do we go for AccountingTalk, ITTalk, TeacherTalk etc?Everyone has a work colleague who is constantly gossiping, sees drama and conspiracy everywhere, and takes harmless little tidbits and spins them into something melodramatic. The mindset is very prone to conspiracy theories.
Some are displaying the same tendency he did when SISU came in and stopped massaging his ego like Robinson etc had done.Kev Monks
If I’ve never met you and I know your name you’re a super fan. Kev Monks, Overson, Hatters, Keys, Dawkins. All in the bin. If you want to put money in then fine, but you aren’t any better than anyone else.
What does that make those MMJ helps? Particularly shit fans because they don’t put any money in?

Now it doesn't make the conclusion of owners being shitbags necessarily wrong, but the reasons for getting there and the conclusions drawn at the time were wrong, because they came from that place, it was missing what the target should actually be.
I'm happy as GIMOC says to wait and see. I do have some concerns (Mark Goldberg is a name that keeps springing to mind!) but we can only wait and see as we've got no track record from King to compare to. The idle gossip is amusing though! Don't think it'd get Overson his favoured status back, either(!)
your the one who spouts the super fan motion. no one else and certainly not me. I go home and away call myself a fan as do others who go games. no one is a better fan to others. It’s not a competition
because I’d be talking about stuff which isn’t my place to share in the public domain. do I think most in here have got taken in by king and his political way of working. Of course. Will it come out in the open one day. Most probably long after players, king and co have left.
The red flag for me was when he admitted he hadn't actually considered the stadium when agreeing to buy the club, so it ended up a bit of an afterthought.Yeah I’ve got concerns too. Mostly around how badly organised everything still seems to be and how we seem to be just as skint as ever. But a lot of the explicit complaints seem to be “X person thinks they’re much more special than they’re being treated” and frankly that doesn’t butter many parsnips with me.
Stuff like corporate sales and signings well see how it pans out.

That's worrying!
But we'll see how that (and other things!) all pans out. Lets hope it's all OK, eh(!)
And yeah I don't particularly care if Doris in Accounts doesn't like her new boss, as long as her new boss doesnt give her cause to sue for constructive dismissal.
He'll lose a lot more money if it's a shitty deal he's had to sign as a result of not thinking about it.Ive never thought the stadium was key so not bothered about that. But he seems totally surprised a Championship football club is losing money. I really don’t understand why he’s here TBH. Step up from the Rich Energy guy I guess.
What was said, i've missed it. I assume it can't be posted on here again so can someone pm me pleaseThat's one option. Them considering it defamatory could be another
I’ve lost track, are you talking about Coventry City or Overson here?I go home and away call myself a fan as do others who go games. no one is a better fan to others. It’s not a competition
But with energy price rises and inflation around running the stadium and wanting exclusivity, we were always facing a big price hike on the shitshow Wasps were running.He'll lose a lot more money if it's a shitty deal he's had to sign as a result of not thinking about it.

Feel a bit sorry for GIMOC tbh.
Maybe a bit here and there but there's no coincidence that numerous people are hearing the same thing. Chinses whispers? Potentially. But there's no smoke without fire is there?
By all accounts King has come in and tried to run a football club like he does his oil business. That wont work, and isn't working. Yes Boddy and Tynan etc may be shit at their job, but they have a lot more of an idea on how to run a commercial side, a footballing side etc of the business than a bloke who never attended a game of football until Swansea in December.
King is a successful businessman, maybe his strong arm tactics and my way or the highway manner works in his specialised field. It doesn't work at a football club, especially one of our size. You cant just rock up out of nowhere, whack prices up for literally everything 200% plus, not listening to those with more experience and not expect backlash. T not have a shirt sponsor in play by July for a championship club who narrowly missed out on the prem is a farce lets be honest.
To think large corporations such as JLR, Peugeot whatever would think 'yea il spend 25k on a box for championship football at a club i have no attachment too' would happen is short sighted.
Frasers really aren't impressed by him by all accounts
To tell fans to 'join the journey' and we have in record numbers at higher prices, the play off couple of million, then not p[proceed to stick your hand in your pocket for even 1 signing before they return for pre season fitness testing tomorrow isn't great is it?
I've heard the exact same as what's been said on here, and it really isn't rosey behind the scenes as Doug just wants to micromanage the lot, whilst thinking he can charge loads for things that a championship club just cannot get away with.
Lets hope Hamer signs and Vik fucks off asap so we can actually have a squad of players to take to Portugal
Thinking back to Derrick robins the chairman in the 60s think he paid for it to go along with the Jimmy hill revolution.You'd accept it's not a great start to the rest of his post!
Anyway, who did pay for Ryton? (I am genuinely interested!)
But with energy price rises and inflation around running the stadium and wanting exclusivity, we were always facing a big price hike on the shitshow Wasps were running.
It's no shock that a new regime has ruffled a few feathers. As you say time will tell?
But people agreed we were ran badly. But now it seems some people want nothing to change except for King to dig deep into his pockets and throw loads of money at players. For me that wouldn't be running the club properly either (example Bolton).
If he is over pricing he will learn and prices can come down (maybe not this season). But it seems previously we were giving too much away on the cheap.
I have been supporting the club over 50 years and in my opinion we have never really had good owners (few clubs do). Fans do have a right to complain about how the club is run and how club money is spent and how any debt is controlled and managed. But they don't have a right to dictate how an owner spends his own money.
Ive heard similar, but let’s be clear here: it’s obviously true King has come in and ruffled feathers. Everything else is people saying “I’m right and he’s wrong” and really until the end of this season there’s no way to tell
Usual bed wetting, from the usual suspects, what will be will be, very little negativity from me, unless it's about ' that lot north of the boarder"
Well we know we were in for Leighton Clarkson, who went to Aberdeen for a fee around £1-1.5m. It's not like he's refusing to buy players.To tell fans to 'join the journey' and we have in record numbers at higher prices, the play off couple of million, then not proceed to stick your hand in your pocket for even 1 signing before they return for pre season fitness testing tomorrow isn't great is it?
I appreciate the literalism and correct answer in that respect, but not quite what I was afterThinking back to Derrick robins the chairman in the 60s think he paid for it to go along with the Jimmy hill revolution.
