Doubt a lot of this would have been allowed to happen if the former CEO was still here and that's not defending him but i think he would've kept a lid on a lot of it.

He was never the problem. From my dealings with him - I thought he was a decent bloke.

This is not intended to be negative, especially as I think those statements are very good. But what is the intended audience and influence for them? Until Glen kindly posted them above, I hadn't seen them. That's probably because I'm not a group member. But I would imagine it isn't group members who need to receive and read the statements but those of us outside them, and the media, if they are to have any effect. Have I missed those anywhere, in which case ignore me?!

I’m presuming that they are emailed to various “influencers” when issued & we wouldn’t necessarily know that… @glen9mullan is that correct ?

Andy Cole says Hi.

As do Nathan Brierley, Lewis O Brien, Duncan Mcguire, Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

Is there a reason why those failed transfers have been put specifically and solely onto him?

Well only to the extent that a CEO is held responsible for anything that goes on at any Company.

The owners must have agreed to those deals in the first place then they all fell through due to either different instances of negligence (if you believe that) or deliberate sabotage.

£400,000+, per year.

Think it was over £500,000 in the last twelve months. Still listed at Companies House as CEO.

Probably waiting for the next Wharton instalment to drop before they can pay him off fully.

Waggott was a rubbish CEO if you wanted an ambitious club, but he was absolutely perfect for Venky's. Lunacy to get rid of him from their perspective. Same goes for Mowbray tbh. Perfect manager for their level of ambition, absolutely pointless letting him go when he would have quite happily stayed.

Not really because both JDT and JE performed better than Mowbray under reduced circumstances in a shorter space of time.

It's all getting a bit he said she said at this stage.

Bit worrying that the LT keep saying they're willing to sit down and sort it out - we could end up with even more wearisome sycophantic coverage than we had previously.

At this stage their stance should be completely unequivocal, in no way will they consider changing their staff round to suit the Club and their reporting will remain impartial, balanced and objective.

If Pasha and Gestede think the extremely tame Jackson is bad, maybe the LT should put me, JH Rover and Wilesden on a rolling reporting rota.

The Club would be begging for Elliott back within the week.

I found it a little concerning that they said they tried to get someone else to cover him on Saturday but the rota was set, they should not be even trying to bow to them. 
 

There is no world where the club doesn’t back down if the LT stay firm

Pointless from the owners perspective because they have no ambition, therefore it was a waste of time hiring JDT/Eustace and their staff. Might as well have kept Mowbray as the limit of their ambition is keeping us in the division.

I fear it's the other way round but I hope you're right.

Not really because JDT and JE had to operate under very different financial conditions than Mowbray had.

Good old Tone might have struggled to keep us on an even keel under the same restrictions.

Their scrapping of JDT's project nearly got us relegated again, and Eustace departing midway through the season led to yet another playoff collapse. JDT also managed that in his first season thanks to the owners.

Little reason to believe Mowbray wouldn't have achieved the same thing JDT or Eustace ultimately did - nothing. That's not a knock on either JDT or Eustace for the record, we'll always achieve nothing under these owners because they are poison

They all took us over in different circumstances. Mowbray overtook a much worse squad that was destined for League 1. Beside that one summer when we spent £10m on top of a League 1 squad, like the other 2, the owners fucked everything up. Numerous summers spending little, limits on who we could trade, selling a key player and not reinvesting etc. As they always do.

Now we have a manager far worse than all 3 of them, and with the owners still screwing us over.

It had a bad defence for sure but that squad contained Danny Graham, Charlie Mulgrew, Craig Conway and a few others all of who are a level above anything now.

Doubt Mowbray or even Eustace would do anything with this lot.

Been a bit slow to this story. Let's not beat about the Bush here. This is another salami slice off the club, or the temperature of the frog's water rising slightly. The club is being destroyed one inch at a time. The LT should be able to comment freely on the nonsense that has been going on. The club simply don't want negative attention on their mismanagement.

I've said this before, but whenever Venkys sell (which could be years and years away) there won't be a club left to support. It'll be so withered, the fanbase so shrunk and clinging to a PL era in the 2000s, languishing at the lower end of League 1.

The fans need to pull together and realise they need to act. It's a farce.

Continue on this path and lower end League One will be optimistic. When you've no interest in competing or winning in a cut throat industry and spend all your time and effort cutting and reducing eventually everyone will catch up.

Only so much living off past legacy can occur and we will soon be at that point.
