Could be either, but as things currently stand, assuming everyone is fit, I would much prefer to see Henriksson as a "right winger" than anyone else who we currently have on our books. I would also have Kargbo on the left ahead of De Neve/Hedges. But suspect that this weekend at least, we will see De Neve on the left and Hedges on the right

I ain't a clue

The first time then and they are surrounded in controversy. Is it a coincidence in your opinion that Waggott has now gone and we have had others speaking more than they normally would, who have perhaps not handled the criticism, very well?

Does he not want that or does he literally not have one of those in his squad right now?

At no point have I denied any of that and it's probably annoying me more than anyone. There's been a fair bit of other resistance and rejection of the minutes and no, nobody is getting away with anything.

I’d be amazed if he is.

Well run clubs will engage with their fans over and above what any regulations tell them to do. Because of this, the regulations should be written with the badly run clubs in mind - I mean stipulating such things as: The need to minute any meetings and what’s to happen if these can’t be agreed. The complaints process should any fan attendee think the club aren’t complying with the regulations. The investigative process following such a complaint (and the club punishment(s) should the fan complaint be upheld). The rules as they currently are may as well not exist.

First of all, I'm grateful to you and all the others who take time to represent us to the Club. But you must admit surely that this charade has been dragging on for weeks? Are they going to be allowed to get away with it? What have our reps got planned to address it? Glen shouldn't have to act on his own, though I'm quite sure he can manage it. Have our reps met/talked and decided on a course of action? What's the next step? Keep us in the loop.

Are you in a position to name who has edited (or initiated the edit) the minutes (both versions) from the club? Many could hazard a guess and the strong likelihood is they would be correct I believe but it would be helpful at this stage to prevent the unnecessary criticism of certain Forum members.

Worth nothing that if Miyoshi plays in the Bundesliga 2 then he would no longer be eligible without an ESC place so would rule him out signing for us. His time at Birmingham doesn't come into it. He didn't play last weekend when there league started, and his club plays on Sunday at 12:30. Be interesting to see if he's involved. For this one, I think Nixons info is well out of date, he was going on about a winger weeks ago and it doesn't seem close at all. Also struggle to see us paying that kind of money for someone who is 28. Nixon was also banging on about Kapaudi saying our bid was live for a good week after McLoughlin signed when it clearly wasn't, and was still pushing Baradji as late as this weekend despite us having no ESC spots available.

It is sometimes the right thing to do obviously, but as it is now with all the power being with the players it can be a complicated situation .

Yeah if there was a complaint to be made towards JDT and Eustace it was they lacked flexibility, certainly JDT did and Eustace was often reluctant to change. Maybe Ismael will mix it up a bit more according to opposition.

I can't believe I am saying this, but Textor would be 1 million times worse than our current situation, considering his financial mismanagement nearly forced Ligue 1 to relegate Lyon, and hes most likely losing control of Eagle. Not really the thread to discuss it so apologies to the mods.

I don't remember the minutes being rejected before, no.

When Broughton was here part of the ‘plan’ was to have a seamless transition upon any change of head coach. I presume that would have included ensuring any new manager had as similar as possible philosophy/style to the one he was replacing. That idea soon went out the window.

I always thought @roversfan99was in favour of selling players for fees before their contract. He was in favour of selling Rothwell when he only had 6 months left on his deal and BBD when we were offer 10m by Fulham

Ismael has 3 years left on his contract so let's hope so but not many head coaches last more 12 months now. Its something I've mentioned the lack of clubs willing to give a head coach a couple of season to build a team. I was shouting down by a few people(not you). When Eustace replaced JDT here you were from one way of management/coaching/tactical to Eustace who is very different type of head coach Ismael has come in wants to play sometime different to Eustace but some ways different

And he's got rid of the other bloke who challenged him ! I suspect it's same as everything else down there, Gestede like Waggot will have license to negotiate a fee/wages up to a certain low level but the final say will still come from high command.

Perhaps, rightly or wrongly, O2G used his previous experience in only including what he knew the club would approve. It does sound like the ff member ‘kick back’ re the minutes hasn’t happened before - maybe @K-Hod is in a position to confirm either way?

Talking transfer not contract renewals. You mixing both in

No O2G didn't write any lies, ive said previously its hard writing minutes as things jump about in meetings. He captured what he could but there were parts missing, or not elaborated for context. The points missing where probably the key points most would have an interest in. I never saw a version until they were approved by the club, so cant comment on how they looked prior. I've not seen any comments from any FF members who have not disputed the minutes or indeed suggested the ones which were put forwards as the second draft are a not correct record of facts. . Those who have commented clearly state the second version is true and accurate. The current version (number 3) is the clubs amended version of 2, which ive personally rejected completely as have others. This is ALL on the club, no-one else, no conspiracy, they've edited the truth to suit their own agenda and I maintain that if its not the truth that goes public then I will address the inaccuracies publicly. On your final point, its fair to say the opinions on the forum.are from one spectrum to another. I'd say Duncan, @K-Hod and myseif very much mirror the overall consensus on here. Its fair to say others, dont share this view but are equally allowed their opinion and the FF is the place for this Its fair to say what I may see as a priority, others may not, for example who we play in pre season is more important to some than who is running the club. However all members are doing it for free and deserve some respect for doing so, regardless of where their views lie. Is it the right vehicle, or set up correctly? I dont personally believe so, its not democratic and cannot be allowed to become the only comms, as i dont believe if certain people didn't attend that the questions that matter to me or others on this forum would be asked or recorded with an acceptable answer.

First bit in bold, I've never heard such bollocks in my life. Second part in bold, this literally happens and the club don't get an easy ride. You're absolutely way out of order with what you've been saying the last few days and weeks.

Must admit, I managed to add mine to Apple wallet fairly easily, though I can't actually make the first game (Soz, @JBiz), so need to look at how to transfer it to whoever wants to take it in my place!

Nothing has changed, but we've to go back to Armstrong for a comparison. Ismael said he wanted to keep Britain but the club sold him when it was obvious that he wasn't going to sign, I'd say that was the correct thing to do. As far as the others go, let's see what happens, each one is an individual case. An "inability" to resign them may be an unwillingness, especially with the midfield reinforcements. The player himself may not actually want to sign. If Tronstad, Travis or Hyam resign or are sold before their contracts expire, on top of the Britain sale, would that then suggest to you that things may just be changing?

It's the silence that's getting to me. We should have been able to read these minutes weeks ago. What is the process for resolving this matter? Whose responsibility is it? What's being done? If all that's being achieved is more stone -walling from the employees what is the plan to deal with it? They simply cannot be allowed to get away with this even once. As for the Fans Forum, it's not an elected body and if that's the organisation the Club prefers to deal with then that sets alarm bells off for me. So, my advice, the time for appeasing these morons has passed, release the real minutes, show us what the Club objected to and take them on. Maximum publicity---what they hate most. Obvious they fear what could be read in Pune as opposed to what info Venkys usually get.
