    So was Acun asked about the Academy/investment in the club off the pitch? (training ground, stadium regeneration, etc.)?

    Was he asked about the Trust or consulting with fan groups beyond just his "I will speak to everyone" comment? More specifics?

    There are a lot of good soundbites there but it would be great to get a bit more detail and specifics.

    Not in that news brief earlier or sky sports coverage but i think he was asked so many things and as you said still stuff to address but he has only been here few days and i think we can be sure every issue will get dealt with eventually, he seems to care about all the people so everything that effects them he will want to deal with i think.

    Plus there is only 3 days transfer window left and he will be involved in getting that out of the way to.

    Of course, but this press conference was to set out his vision for the club. I was hoping for a bit more than "I love the fans and want to make people happy" which is what we'd heard already. I was hoping for more of a

    "We plan to invest both in quality signings and in maintaining and improving the Academy, we see a path to the PL by doing [XYZ]." or something along those lines. Nothing too specific, but a bit more than just soundbites.

    Good to hear regarding ticket prices at least.

    I think your expectations for an intro press conference where a little to high tbh

    He has previously said he will be adding good players to help the team improve, i would think once transfer window is closed and they have settled in they will probably sit down and address other things that need tending to which may give us a more incite to what they have planned.

    Like I said, I wasn't expecting specific dollars or projections or strategies, just high level discussion touching on aspects of the club.

    If he says the press conference is to set out his vision for the club why is expecting to understand his vision of the club 'too high expectations'?

    There is plenty of time yet for answers to the many questions that all supporters will have.

    Whilst we will hear quite a bit from Acun, behind the scenes the club has new executives who we need to get to know.

    Acun has a plan and some of it may not be realised for some time.

    So is Rodwell actually permanent CEO and it was just a typo on his card?

    Are we the audience in a reality TV show? I hope our new owner is not going to turn out to be the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In the space of a week we have gone from being bottom feeder contenders to play-off contenders based on nothing more than WORDS & SMILES.

    I'm wondering this too. And also, the team of four people which was previously mentioned before the takeover went through. Are we yet to hear about two of them, or was it 4 including Acun himself and the head coach?
