[Sky Blue Pete]

He looks goood

With you at the front getting pushed to one side?

Watch this space

Time to make like Geoff and boycott the forum

 

[TomRad85]

He looks goood

I was surprised too

 

[Nick]

The question I would like asked is who is the committee that will be sourcing/interviewing managers and ultimately making the final decision? Presumably it's not just King on his own, I'm guessing Roberts will be heavily involved too, but anyone else?

Again, the coo will be involved.

 

[Grendel]

Surely there's a common interest of wanting the club to do well? Everyone on this forum wants one thing - success for CCFC - even you (I think).

It's not pointless. If we didn't have representation, we'd be moaning that it was a closed shop.

Forums are just where owners can spout platitudes and attendees feel good about themselves.

People like Sappalla and Fisher always looked like reasonable people face to face but in reality always focused on their own agenda. It’s ironic they seem better thought of by some on here as they smiled and said the right things

There is no representation - king will do what he likes it’s his train set.

Fan groups are ok to look at match day issues and such but strategy and direction is never going to be influenced by some fans rocking up at a meeting.

 

[shmmeee]

Looks like a lot

Would like to hear him say it and if phrased right his ego won’t let him deny it.

FFS that forum at the Holiday inn where we were going to Northampton, Fisher made himself look more than a wanker than even anybody thought he was -

At least he was prepared to turn up and face the fans rather than a hand picked selection of representatives

 

[SBT]

Not exactly a big deal for me who goes to this forum on Monday, but I’ve said it before - it’s slightly odd that this forum has gained some sort of official supporter group status with a regular seat at the table, and if it’s going to continue long-term then maybe it’s a good idea to formalise who speaks on its behalf?

 

[CovValleyBoy]

The audience will be cherry picked , most fans would pull him apart with awkward questions about football and make him look stupid

Like Question Time , surely not.

 

[Adge]

Remember how well the last protest at the Sheff U game went?

Yeah-I was on the pitch and got spotted on Sky by my boss and got in the shit!

That’s Pete already isn’t it? No problem with him continuing in that role.

No disrespect to Pete who undoubtedly puts the work in, and not to make it sound like a grave matter of constitutional importance, but long-term it’s not an ideal way to decide who nominally speaks for thousands of City supporters is it?

 

[jordan210]

So the attendees are Will King, Will Kings dog.

Questions to be asked. Can the changing rooms have shave oil in them.

An alternative could be that we have a dedicated sticky on here and someone from the club can be a liaison?

 

[David O'Day]

Ok
You say that as a negative of course
Do you want to go

because it is and no but others not represented may

 

[Darth Robins]

I'm not usually a talksport fan but I think I actually agree with every word said there. Even Deeny!

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Ultimately the impression is King is meddling in the football side. Where does he see his role in respect to on the pitch matters? Fans want an owner who appoints a good manager sets a budget and leaves them to it, how far does his vision deviate from that?

Yeah, will a head Coach get much, or any, say in transfers. Can they, for example, state that the team is lacking experience and get an older, experienced player in?

Probably best to look at what Sunderland are doing if that’s who we’re trying to copy.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Be one of the supporter groups reps or their plus one

How do I go about that Pete?

I have my plus one

Tried many times

The trust is the way but it lost its remit
And we reckon there’s about 350 of us regularly on here
We are by far the most effective group of all the supporters groups in raising issues and questions and having the ear of the club mainly down to me and I’m not blowing smoke up my arse or being arrogant it’s just a fact

Most groups want photos with king I just want to take issues fans have and try and resolve them

 

[Covcraig@bury]

I have my plus one

Confirmed in the call in the questions to Doug will not be vetted. Will be asked direct by CWR.

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Some of you older lot on here maybe better placed to remember or answer this question, but can anyone remember an instance where an owner has publicly come out in front of fans after a manager has been sacked, to face the fans and answer questions on it, in a forum environment? Or is this a first of its nature?

CWR have also allegedly said that questions won’t be vetted.

Normally less than 90% of the fans don’t think the owner has made a mistake

Where is the 90% figure coming from?

 

[RoboCCFC90]

Granted that’s a major reason why it has never happened I imagine.

Can’t remember. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t with Doug at the moment.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

He is saying we should boycott 15 minutes of the next game

What gives him the right to suggest that

He is suggesting we boycott the first 15 minutes. What gives him the right is that this is a forum,where we are free to air our opinions.
People do not always agree with each other. And people do not have to agree with you.
