The fact is AP has failed at the most basic of levels in running a business, he's failed to run the organisation in the manner it should be. He should have done a top to toe shake down, installed the right people, kept those that could, got rid of those that can't (Rule should have stayed for a while longer for me). Look at investing in a way that doesn't shout tight-wad penny pincher, the good investments he has put in have actually being just that, investments, some of which will actually rise in value.

The pay-offs he's had to make are partly because he didn't do his job properly and didn't get the right people in, if you think he wasn't aware of certain things going on then you damn Pearson for what he really is.

A 2 bit Arthur Daley 2nd hand car salesman. Spend a bit here, cut a bit there, make do and mend, huff and puff when you've being found out, never admit you're wrong then try flogging a dead horse after you've banged on about how much money you've lost on the deal when the punter starts to walk away and then blame anyone but yourself for why it's knackered

What we need is a strong CEO, someone to make sure the 'directors' know what they are supposed to be doing, they have limited experience, one of them hasn't worked anywhere else but the KC, they all have a narrow band within industry and none of them are individual leaders, they are directors in name oly, nothing more.

We also do not need a 'rugby man', that's not the priority, we have a director of rugby already, if they have had dealings within rugby great, BUT more than anything else he has to have a background of hands on management of a large operation, someone prepared to face up to an owner and tell him he/she is wrong over certain things. I don't want a yes man in charge.
A strong CEO ensures stupid things like the Shaul incident never even get to the point where a coach whom is unable to express himself in the manner one would expect to the media gets to sit in the chair without at least being prepared what to say and what not to say instead of sounding like a thug and completely idiotic. Out so called communications director failed massively on that as on previous rantings our coach has provided.

I really hope AP sells us, tbh if he's here more than 12 months I'd be surprised.

Sebasteeno wrote:Agree with most of what you say Knockers but i think we need a rugby man as an owner - i dont know where one will come from but in an ideal world thats what will awaken FC imo. For all his faults we want an FC Hudgell and if we had one we'd love him far more than Pearson as he'd have passion in his blood for the club.

Whilst Pearson owns FC our club will only go backwards and its already shocking - any further and we will be the next Bradford. The total mess the clubs in will take years to sort out but the first thing that needs to happen is it becomes part of the community again - at the moment its just this entity that plays in a ground that its not wanted in - we need a new owner and leadership, directors, coaches and a completely new and fresh impetus at getting this club to being a club that its fans are proud of again - something not many of are any more

A CEO stops dodgy deals being done (if indeed there were any), it's his job to ensure VFM, not cutting back but ensuring an investment is worth what we are paying, property, player or otherwise. If he doesn't know the value of players it's his job to find out and if that figure s justified, follow recommendation's, garner advice not just from within the club but from external sources also.
Sadly, AP failed to employ a strong CEO from the off, THAT is a massive failure, THAT has cost us and him dearly many many times over what it would have cost him up front. But you can't see that can you?

I really hope AP sells us, tbh if he's here more than 12 months I'd be surprised.
