[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Along the lines of "I'll get Pep (Guardiola) to explain that one too as he doesn't keep a man up top and he's done pretty well for himself"

One reason I'm not a top level football manager is that I have no patience and am completely intolerant of nobbery and nobbers.

My reply would have been along the lines of 'Don't be a soppy ****. We aren't playing in the ****ing conference. We don't put the boot in 'early doors', hoof it, or play with a target man. Glenn Murray is not a target man. Anymore. You are a fool and if it weren't for the fact we are in a room full of witnesses I would disembowel you with my ceremonial flick knife. Now Bugger Orf!'

They could dig them little holes so just their heads were poking out, then they could spring out when needed.

Funny you say that, there was a game or two when they sat in those holes where photographers/cameras sometimes sit.

The best forum so far. Minimal time-wasting with silly questions, they seemed to cover everything of interest and TB/PB/GP were class acts. You get the feeling they think and work 24-7 into improving the club.

I wonder where the extra seats are going in?

And yes, there are 8,000 on s/t waiting list, fact. That was mentioned a few months back NSC, whereupon a know-it-all said there wouldn’t anything like that number now.

It is constantly commented on in my area of the ground, especially when we're trailing and the kid in the north west corner has to run the width of the pitch to collect the ball from the north est corner because the other ball boy is trapped behind the advertising, delaying the restart.

That lad is a legend!

 

[Weststander]

Hate it when idiots ask about investment or Blooms stance as chairman. Get a life

TB made it very clear that he’s here for the long term, yet some numbnuts will ask the same thing next time.

There was some new stuff in there and plenty of meat despite the partial quotes above.

- Bloom/Barber outlined in new detail a new vision for the club of being a top 10 premier league club. Plenty of caveats about how this would take time, and a few bumps along the way. But its a considerable shift from "stay in the premier league" / A considerable newsline and worth it just for that.
- Potter has a dry sense of humour and took everything in good faith. Batted back the nonsense about half way line defending/corners but also was clear he was heavily involved in the transfer window, how he intends to be flexible with formations and that we shouldn't assume 3-4-3 is the fixed line up, and it was Bloom/Barber's leadership that inspired him to be here.
- Barber mentioned about possibility of overseas friendlies including NYC in future years so our singing Twitter fella will be pleased.
- There was some more detail about the Amex sponsorship tie up and improved fan experience (outside toilets, better wifi, cashless stadium)
- Barber kicked back as usual about the removal of the travel subsidy for Seagull Travel "double subsidy" and pretty much gave the same answer as last year about safe standing
- Bloom said he had no intention of selling the club for the "foreseeable future" to a big round of applause.
- There was a good joke about Shane Duffy in a tutu
- Not completely new but Barber confirmed again they're adding a few hundred seats to the Amex.
- Not much on whether there will be more womens games at the Amex . Sounded unlikely although again Amex tie up might make this easier.
- Some silly questions about ball boys, and forks but they really only took about 30 seconds of peoples time.
- There was a lot of bland answers about how successful the window has been (men and women), how the squad is marvellous, and how great Dan Ashworth is but what do you expect.
- there was plenty of honest stuff about can you improve things from last season, away fans used to chant at us how boring we were , and can we score some more goals. to which to be honest - there's not much of an answer but Potter had a go. and was very diplomatic about Chris.
- Nobody asked Tony if Chris was surprised he was sacked
- Johnny Cantor kept it moving along very well. He's a class act. And this prog is a worthwile thing.
- And given that its not someone like Neil Warnock or Roy Hodgson up there , you're never going to get juicy stuff about why we didn't sell Lewis Dunk. They are far too discreet and dignified to do their dirty laundry in front of Barry from Shoreham.
- Again. Bit odd to moan about it on here and then not send in your own questions and/or not get down there and ask one. but people always do.

Sometimes if you have nothing to say, don't say anything !!!!

Besides I did send a question in but it wasn't read out.

Missed it so this is really helpful. Thank you

 

[Perkino]

A good forum, some interesting questions that they couldn't answer honestly about certain players who have impressed or might be excluded from the 25-man squad. Excellent to hear Bloom say he has had offers to sell and refused them and intends to continue to do so for a long time

Anyone know where these few hundred seats are going?

Has to be the corners surely ? Lots of wasted gaps

 

[Ernest]

You just knew that Alan TLO would get a question in.....

Price of pies too expensive

 

[chaileyjem]

Barber was vague about it. I think when he's hinted at it before - he's said its about squeezing a few in here and there rather than anything substantial.

 

[chaileyjem]

Its still a good fair question. Precisely what the forum is for.

Nah.

Roll eyes, tut & sigh in one movement then.

Guess: North East corner?

 

[dingodan]

PB also mentioned that they had some plans / ideas for working with AMEX to improve and add to the fan experience on match days, although he didn't go into detail, saying that those things are for another day.
