Horses for courses one blogger writes the regime have proved people wrong in the newshopper whilst another writes a scathing piece in this months Football 2018. For me both articles were written from opposite view points and both taking their individual view point to the extreme. It would be nice in relation to both blogs that the regime was forgotten and the blogs written with a genuine viewpoint of how they see the season panning out. Top six for me and according to poll that seems to be the general consensus.
It's either been written as a favour for her or it's someone who really hates the protests. Hard to believe it's a genuine viewpoint.
First thought was a classic counter opinion article to get people seething and more clicks. Did make me laugh that even the most positive of articles only had us as playoffs...
Just nonsense isn't it, I'm a little more quietly optimistic than last year but it's still an unbalanced squad with plug gap frees and loans with a lot of hope relying on players who haven't reached the heights people are projecting for them this year (our forwards to score more, Kashi to stay fit and the young guys to fit straight in and be consistent).
Doesn't appear that they learn from mistakes, more just throw enough shit at a wall and hope some new approach sticks.
In fairness they have learned from their mistakes. They are not dropping totally inadequate players from the Network into our squad. They are not appointing a 'mate' as manager that has no idea how to manage a British club and they haven't sacked Robinson and gave him a chance to build his own squad/team after a run of results that would have all the other managers sacked.
In reality they made fewer mistakes last summer than in previous years and the club made strides forward while Slade was in charge. I suspect that Robinson has also improved both the quality of the squad and the atmosphere in the dressing room.
However, the previous mistakes were so disastrous they would have struggled to perform as badly as that for long, even if they wanted to. All they have done now is what they should have done* at the very start and by waiting for so long they have made the club much worse off as a result. Even with them giving Robinson a chance to build a decent side I'm not convinced that we are even very likely to get out of this god forsaken division, something that we had done and moved on from by the time they got here.
The suggestion that KM might be what our club needs just, literally, destroys any credibility that the author might have!
* They shouldn't have needed to do any of this, of course as they shouldn't have sacked Powell in the first place!
Pay shed loads to a top top PR company for months , try tp trample on TRUE fans who criticize the tossers who have destroyed decades of work and thats the best they can do ? a "blogger writing bollox" Bravo Katie save the money on PR spend it on the team----o and fuck off tsking the poodles when u go
This guy has been pushing a Katrien agenda for quite a while in numerous articles. You have to wonder whether it's either to generate a reaction, or there is an alternative agenda
It wouldn't be the first time a blogger had been offered 'special treatment' to do the club's bidding.
If that involves Sue Perks, that sounds like a threat rather than an offer.
So may people getting carried away with the idea of promotion like it has already been achieved. There's a lot of football to be played between now and then. We currently have 0 points on the board. I want us to get promoted as much as anyone but it could quite easily all come crashing down to earth.

But that's preseason for you, isn't it better to get carried away and have your hopes dashed then not hope at all. Always better to be glass half full rather then glass half empty.

That glass smashed the moment they sold Yann, they've been trying to repair it with Duct tape ever since, and failing each time

Yep and I'm one for getting carried away when it comes to predicting what will happen on the pitch.
However to use this to justify the ownership have been proved right or have 'won' or even learned from their mistakes is ridiculous.
Maybe there will be justification for saying they have changed and learned 9 months down the line. But right now it's a ridiculous idea.
Whoever wrote that has no real understanding of the situation and how much shit the club is in.
No mention of the debt that has been created by joke decisions by a joke owner and useless CEO, look where we are now in terms of position in the league and debt owed to where we were when they took over.
Beggars belief that the any news worthy paper could run such an article without being paid to do so.
I'll tell you what if Roland "forgives his debt to the club" and gets us back to where we were when he took over, I will forgive him.
Let's not judge them on what they done over the past three years but on what might happen over the next nine months
Was genuinely thinking of starting a thread along thelse lines.
You would have to have been living on the moon for past 3 years to not be aware of the actions that have caused the contempt many of us feel for the ownership.
However working on the premise they're here to stay in the near term it would be interesting to critique the ownership and management of the club this season solely on events, actions and results this season...almost as if they just turned up this summer.
Whilst I share the disdain of many for track record and material responsibility in the detioration with much of the club's fanbase sometimes judgement and objectivity can become clouded by these past events leading to a failure to appropriately recognise positivity and good things that may occur (understandable in the shadow of all the bad things they've historically bestowed on CAFC).
Will be interesting to judge them and relative success or failure solely on what unfolds on and off the pitch this season. In 9 months if they're still here we may have an indication of whether they have learned the required lessons to make a success of this club or whether it's business as usual.

And owners of other pro regime websites also get a treat here and there!
Lets just see how this season pans out. If you swap the names of Robinson for Slade and the names of Clarke,Fosu and Amos for Novak,Ajose and Rudd, it could well have been written a year ago. Maybe save the article as a template and knock one out again at the start of next season.
Fixed that for you mate as the circus clearly turns the blogger on .

The fans who said they were unqualified managers and largely useless foriegn players?
Or the owner and CEO who employed them and constantly told us they were right to do so?
Jeez, anyone have RD's number, I could do with 'overpaid CEO' on my CV and could do the above very easily.
Anything else is unacceptable abject failure.

And if we do have a storming season it will be despite Duchatelet and Meire, not because of them.

Doesn't sound like a free hand to me.
RD wants his money back, and cannot get it by selling the club. So he will do what he did at Standard, flog the best players to pay off his loans.
