  1. I voted NO in its current guise, as it feels completely pointless. I do think an engagement panel is a great idea in principle, and I’d like to see the Trust represented on it along with supporter groups covering all parts of the fan base. But it has to be transparent. The members who attend should be there to put forward the views of their groups, listen, and engage with the club - and that process should be broadcast and accessible to all. I’m not sure how much real engagement happens at most clubs to be fair, but as usual we seem to be managing it worse than everyone else. It should be a great way to connect with the whole fan base, to develop the relationship and build a proper community around the club - the clue is in the name. I don’t like everything being hidden away nor the mini-fiefdoms forming around those who attend. It should be about and for all fans. Obviously it’s not practical to have everyone in the room, and the format seems fine in principle, but the visibility needs to be for all of us. That’s all theory though - in reality, we’re a million miles away from that. So voted NO.
  2. Exactly the sort of chap we should have in place bridging the gap between owners and manager/coaches to provide support to both.
  3. I got one in the shop before Christmas too, seemed to have loads out on display then. Presumably stock for online orders as satifisied from the shop stock and aren't kept seperate although you're never quite sure with Wednesday. Which one are you after, as I've just looked and as far as I can see all are in stock? I added a couple to basket and can't see any mention of being out of stock, but maybe that comes up when you go to pay?
  4. Good player whose had some huge impact games for us, but wouldn't be bothered if we cashed in on him
  5. Was a result of our time wasting in first half. Was inevitable someone was going to get one carded for it. Same as Beadle, it was the cumulation of several similar moments rather anything specifically bad. Thought both were harsh in isolation but fair enough overall.
  6. Agree. He earned the right to start the season and being allowed to strengthen his squad ready for Championship. Don't think he's a good enough manager/communicator, bourne out by whats happened in his last two roles and very likely it would have ended in tears by Christmas, but we'd still have been better of than under Xisco both in terms of points and squad. Doubt we'd have got Röhl in without the job being available in the summer so potentially a sliding door moment as be surprised if we'd have appointed anyone of else of with his potential.
  7. Sorry to hear your sad news, but lovely tribute to him. All the best
  8. Jesse Marsch gives an in-depth coaching MASTERCLASS! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RN5YXhc_1U
  9. Yellow and Red are very significant colours of protest in Thailand. Probably goes back for generations, but surfaced 2 decades ago when Thaksin Shinawatra (Of Man City fame) was ousted as prime minister. Think Yellow shirts were the royalists, protesting against corruption. I was out there and witnessed tanks in the streets of Bangkok https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-13294268 No idea which side Chansiri and family area (I would guess they are in the Yellow royalist urban elite but no idea) but worth trying to understand it properly, as the colours have real meaning over there and could help/hinder the messaging.
  10. If any truth, quickly becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Some stats are good but need to be analysed and applied with common sense
  11. It was mentioned, but very tounge in cheek, not as a scoop.
  12. nesh adjective 1. Soft; tender; delicate. 2. Soft; tender; yielding. 3. Delicate; weak; poor-spirited; susceptible to cold weather, harsh conditions etc. 4. Adam Reach playing football
  13. Ridiculous that PL clubs agree to max of £30 for away tickets yet the league below is allowed to charge significantly more. They have the money so be able to afford and its complicated, but the fans are the ones who are exploited
  14. Comms team (Trevor?) needs to step up and tell him a few home truths. He's totally entitled to say whatever he wants and is obviously hurt the critism, but that doesn't mean he SHOULD say what he thinks. Needs some media training and much better preparation for when Infront of the media (and fans). Suspect he's not easy to work for, but it's part of Comms/PR role to protect and help him. Don't mind at all that he's pissed off, but 15+ minute waffling rant just make him and the club look stupid.
