Strange departures from non playing staff, experienced players suddenly being moved on without being offered contracts.

Young cheap inexperienced "Yes" players being brought in.

We've trodden this path before in the dark days of SEM Kentaro and Anderson.

Now were left with two men running the club..

Suhail Pasha, who was SEM from day one
Rudy Gestede who worked closely with Steve Kean in Australia..

Maybe, just maybe its not over yet...

They aren't trying to hide their policy of putting cost cutting before all else. They have cut off all contact with the fan groups and removed any players with any affinity for the fans or the club. They are whittling away at the old guard ( Waggott, Lowe etc ) until they ( Pasha and Gestede ) have complete autonomy to do as their friends in low places desire them to do.

My only hope is that it all seems so obvious and brazen that it might be a one final fling before they finally leave us in peace.

It won't, they are taking these measures of almost self administered admin to stop it actually ending up in admin where they'd then surely lose the club but maybe still have a 100 million quid overdraft in India to be liable for.

They are digging in to cling on to the grim end wherever we end up and only something major with the investigation or whatever will alter that imo.

The 'model' they are now trying will have been recommended to them by the usual suspects who stand to do very nice out of it indeed.

The «model» is a death spiral - no way they’ll attract the same talent again (as recent sales) with the limited levels of spending we are seeing now. Pasha possibly understands this(?), but as long as he can keep the lights on he’ll continue to make a fortune for a few more years (where else would he get x100k per year? Don’t forget - 500k x 10 years = 5 mill). As long as the overlords in India don’t interfere he’s good👍

Only read some snippets of exchanges between Gestede and fans - Gestede comes across like a smug / ignorant / arrogant **** or is it just me? Totally defensive on any criticism and in an attempt to justify decision making.

Not a good look and seems petty.

No wonder he sneers from the shadows.

Well well the worm is wriggling around now and starting to come out in daylight - we have another jerome anderson here- beleive me now this season is going to be worse than the kean era - 

 

Gestede calling everything around the club thinks he is the main man

Harry leonard questioning him with his approach to academy players and staff - he was ment to go bradford on loan instead gestede put feelers out to get him gone for questioning rudy - something whats learnt in the academy TO ASK QUESTIONS 

Jake batty another one - accrington stanley told a price for another loan season everything sorted then rudy get his nose poked in disagrees stops the deal and offers him out to other clubs at a different wage bracket cover 100% 

These academy lads arent getting the senior game time they need over rudy thinking about wages instead

Pears disagreeing with gestede now been frozen right out the club

Travis questioning things just like sonny is now booted out -

 

Its beyond a dam joke that us supporters put up with this shite - its time for some balls make the enviroment horrible for him we look after our own remember he screwed the club as a player the shithead now he is trying to do the same
