Elliot is speaking management 101 stuff, the other two are making fair points. Our failures stem from poor ownership behaviour since 2007 and the recruitment of Dowie. 17 years of this can't be turned around overnight. They are not really putting objective targets out there, with the exception of 8 +8+8 so we are still having to trust them.
Getting a bit tired of that one! Could actually be turned around in one decent summer transfer window.
Yes, but having the people and the structure to actually do a decent transfer window is exactly what we haven't had. We have had Southall and Sandgard's boy and ridiculous so called managers and coaches from Europe.
I think it's just management waffle to make excuses for poor recruitment. They are the owners, they knew they were taking over this club, they could have had people ready to go. And if they didn't, they should do now because it certainly doesn't take years.
A fool and his donkey could've told them the squad wasn't good enough when the Summer window shut - that wasn't a structure problem.
Target 10,000 and target 20,000 were major success stories and those involved deserve much credit but they couldn't have been achieved if the playing side wasn't moving in the right direction. Everything points to that and nothing can be achieved without it.
Interesting approach to go with essentially saying that it's our fault Appleton won't be sacked because we were too critical when they sacked Holden. I can only apologise chaps
Don't complain or we will double down next time .........
I get the impression Paul Elliott wouldn't mind too much if we were sloshing about in the vanarama as long as the squad is top heavy with kale munching Him/Hers!

Does he "seem to despise us"?
How is that smartness to be judged?

OK.
But allow us to judge by results then, and to react to crap when it is shoved in our faces.
I have followed his interviews, looked at his body language, seen his reaction to results....and was there at Leyton Orient like you were.
