Like I said earlier in the thread, I think he delegated to others this summer and expected it to be a lot smoother than it has been. Couple that with the Head of Recruitment not being replaced until now according to Acun.

Yeah I think he's saying without saying that he's annoyed we haven't made more signings. His comment about being personally involved in deals from now spoke volumes.
 
Acun said he called Aston Villa’s owner about Philogene. Spoke to Kesler who said eight other teams wanted him. Acun told Kesler to ask how much they want for him and don’t haggle and just get it done.

What I never understand is when I hear him speak he seems so knowledgeable about football and even just being able to rattle off some key examples of teams that struggled with injuries to wingers last season shows he pays attention to the league, so how can he look at our transfer business and be happy? I guess he's not, but it just doesn't sync up.
I guess he expected better so didn’t want to throw the brain team under the bus as clearly he felt he could rely on them to do better

Think he's suggesting the fair value of sponsorship means we can't get any more income out of sponsorship deals but we have as much as we can get.
 
Acun said we’re #1 for sponsorship income in the Championship. Says Safiport is not a loss compared to McVitie’s.

I think he means excluding the relegated clubs (so I guess Sheff U, Leeds, Luton, Burnley, maybe Norwich and WBA too?) as I'd be surprised if we had more sponsorship revenue than Leeds.

It was a very good answer though.
