    Didn't come across as particularly arrogant imo ...

    ... which some will construe as sly I'd imagine.

    As long as the players and staff like him that's fine, none of us have to come into contact with him.

    Fair enough as he’s correct there. Awful season. Onwards and upwards

    Not interested in what he says, interested in what he does.

    TBF there haven't been many and, as a club, we have to come across as confident.

    No particular reason but I’ve heard a lot of **** spoke from him previously, especially last summer.

    Don't know why, but listening to that makes me think outgoings might not be a Clarke or a Bellingham (as examples) but more a squad reshape and improvement

    Has definitely spoken ****e on far too many occasions. His slick PR sales chat has invited cynicism. All I’ve wanted is for him to be partially dethroned/disempowered. Better balance and challenge without supreme control, especially over first team matters including recruitment. He has done some good and some bad so adjust it. Of course people do change and do learn so if they have fair play.

    All you want really is a simple update once a month . Acknowledged the poor show in the second half of last season and now to the contracts and transfer window. Noticed there wasn't any of this "aligned" and "focused " blah , blah , which all of us don't want to hear. Haway the lads.

    I agree, not everyone buys a programme or goes online ...

    ... mind you, people wouldn't even want an update if we're flying imo.

    I’ve noticed his image has softened a little bit.
    He’s put on a few pounds as well. I wonder if he’s been feeling the pressure lately.
    We might see a different side of the feller

    Neil should be announced tomorrow. Deal until 2027 with option for another year. Will be the highest earner in the squad.

    Ballard close but still work to be done.
