That would really gee us all up. 🤣 It isn't about geeing us up. It is about being realistic. Clement is left to try and communicate this message when Gilligan expressly said that he would talk about the numbers/upstairs stuff and let the manager get on with the football. Waiting for the AGM would be fine if the situation was normal, it isn't. Of course, the alternative is that Gilligan comes out and tells us that Clement is gone. Is he hedging his bets ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,292 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 I'm not sure what Gilligan could say about tempering expectations that wouldn't have a negative impact, particularly in relation to ticket and merchandise sales. It's not the club's fault that some people still think we're in the 1990s. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it is easy but if the club want to keep the current manager, he needs to communicate that the blame for what is going on is at various levels of the club and put more focus on the harsh reality of our finances. I don't envy him. This has got to a point where Gilligan may be wishing he had declined the offer of interim Chairman.

It's not the club's fault that some people still think we're in the 1990s. Since our conversation on this, I listened to the Clement presser that was released on Saturday. He basically says as much and is having a go at the lack of support from upstairs, in terms of communication of the ongoing financial impediments. Gilligan isn't doing what he said he would, only 6 or 7 weeks ago. Edited November 4 by buster. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know, but I don't see what rationale would be used to stop a trade between willing owners/parties in ordinary circumstances.

I got the e-mail and wondered the same thing. I assumed I'd see something on here or FF if it was something unusual or concerning - haven't seen anything. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
