singe Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I think if he'd had a core of 4 to 6 regulars then we'd all feel differently. I just want to think it harsh to judge him now as to whether he is decent. He had 1 week to out a team out to start gelling. He had 4 weeks to start of the season He had 7 weeks till th window shut, with no loans for first time. Hes had half a month of not being certain if embargo Wil be lifted. Does it excuse some of the performances. No. But it's not fair to judge the bloke yet. How many managers could do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamoafc Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 6 weeks? He got the job on 9th July and 1st league game was exactly 4 weeks later. Where do your 6 weeks come from? He needed a squad to start playing together in the friendlies as well. Till the end of the transfer window didn't have to be complete by millwall did it!

mcfluff1985 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Till the end of the transfer window didn't have to be complete by millwall did it! I'd say the 1st team squad had to be pretty much completed by Millwall yes. He needed to have the majority of players in for friendlies to decide if he was offering a lot contracts before season kicked off. So he didn't have 6 weeks to decide on which 23 players he wanted. The majority had to be in for millwall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1000 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 If Corney wants to start looking at people who are poor at their job and axing them(which is fair enough). The guy needs to look in the mirror as he is as a poor a chairman as you would ever expect to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec666 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 What on earth would be the point of playing Youths in friendlies? You want friendlies to build the team for the first League game. It's a long old season. I'd have rather he made use of the full window and used the first two or three League games as friendlies if it meant getting a few higher quality players in. I doubt we'd have done much worse than we have by rushing and signing this group of no hopers anyway. Although, he worryingly chose this group because he knew and trusted them.

What higher quality players are you thinking? I actually think he's made some really good signings. Who is to say if he'd have brought a few "higher quality" players in they would have performed? Obviously with so little time to sign players he's going to try and get a few he knows when he has so many to bring in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchierich Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Back on topic, I thought the interview was pathetic. Moisley came across as an apologist for Corney with exactly the same kind of mildly patronising "you don't understand" type of answers along with a pretty complacent "it'll all be fine when things improve" Why won't Corney and his cronies just come clean and show the supporters the actual financial situation and what arrangements are in place for Blitz and Gazal? It's pretty obvious they will be protecting their own "investment" but I genuinely fear that may involve the effective destruction of our football club The Trust seems ineffective, our former so called fans representative went native and got himself a place on the Board and now we are reduced to a staged "interview" with Corney. I appreciate the fans doing that mean well and have put a lot of effort into collating and preparing questions but I think we all know how they will be answered by Corney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off the top of my head and without going to companies house, is there about 6? I did post a few weeks ago what do the non-employed club ones actually contribute business wise to the club? Simon Corney -Chairman Barry Owen Mark Moisely - CEO Simon Brooke- Is your Trust rep and is at the club one day a week out of his own business time and match days. Maintaining the Trust relationship with the club and promoting both trust and club where and whenever he can. Anthony Gee-down as businessman Ian Hill - down as chartered accountant Seriously, what do they contribute to the club with regards to a business plan?

underdog Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I know, I know and I presume it's the chairman who dictates the frequency of meetings too, when he is in the country and not trying to sell us and source a scoreboard Just wondering what is the purpose of this board if not to generate business our selling potential?

I don't have a full itinerary, of what he actually does as per say and I am too knackered to dig out the latest stuff-sorry. but we are briefed/updated at our meetings by Simon and we plan accordingly. We are just behind with posting the meetings on the trust site, which has been raised and soon to be rectified Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
