I wish he hadnt offered to reduce the transfer budget to compensate although I understand its just him stressing the importance.

It should be either or. We badly need new players and a suitable pitch. 

I’m surprised he thinks there is a transfer budget.

Really dislike conspiracy land but with this club’s lack of communication it’s hard not to get embroiled.

Did Val already know that no new money would be forthcoming in January and thus his plea for a pitch remedy instead of transfer money is straight out of the club playbook as Rev says?

His rant seemed a little long for that to me -he just seems embarrassed and doesn't want blame attached to him.

Sounds he's losing the will to be the human shield who absorbs blame whilst the real culprits hide in the background. It's what he signed up for, granted, but I doubt he envisioned being grilled over not being able to play games at home when it rains.

He's not daft, this time next year when we are struggling again no doubt having decimated the squad further to cut costs he's already got his excuse in.

Then Gestede will say fans should be grateful the owners provide a pitch fit to play Sat/Tues.

That's all it is for me.

"Nothing to do with me guv" as far as the fans are concerned and a "Don't worry here's how you can sort it out - I wont complain" message to his employers.

Transparency: Hide behind the Manager/ Fans Forum minutes debacle.

Alignment: Agree or lose your job.

Much like those before him, VI clearly not happy with how the club is run and he's now struggling to hide his annoyance at what, quite frankly, is a joke of a club.

Let's face it, if we were a well run club then VI wouldnt be here in the first place. However, if he gets offered another job, he'll be off like a shot, just like our previous two managers. Sadly for VI, he won't be very in demand so I suspect he'll have to suffer through the pain like the rest of us.
