Stop being childish and tell us what he should have said that would be inspiring.

An apology won't change how I feel about where the club is.

He's stated his willingness/intention to leave.

Apart from the tin-foil brigade, there is nothing out there that shows that Minards is the speedbump in the takeover.

I'd have liked to hear that the takeover is on track/nearly done/completed, but it clearly isn't.

Ellis will be waiting until relegation is confirmed before signing off (assuming that a deal is that close).
Ditto the club.
Can you imagine if the takeover was done and then a miracle happened in the last two rounds.
Unless all parties are willing to shake hands on the lower value of being a Championship club, and deal has to wait until our fate is sealed.
I know that the "fat lady" has been doing her warming up excercises but....

What an uninspiring load of tosh. Its no surprise that we are going backwards since this guy became involved. To paraphrase, " we are not fussed about this season because we think we might be ok on IMG ratings". Basically he an Carter have overseen a managed decline of the the onfield side of the club because they think we will be ok under IMG. What a defeatist attitude, the sooner we are rid of this fool the better and anybody lapping it up are part of the problem by enabling him.

Having read your statement Mr minnards, what are your plans to cover the 600 grand loss from this year with a big loss still to come, your plans to service the covid loan, your plans to service the stadium debt, buy a competitive team and also pay the bills. We've also had nearly 50 grand injected off the fans and carter's dad putting 300 grand in. What is going on at our club. Yes our club not yours. Just go now for the sake of the club.

Well at least he has come out and confirmed he wants to stay - what we all knew - the JM advocates on here swore blind that nobody was blocking the deal and scalded the naughty boys in the corner. But by saying "I want to stay for another 2 years" is just like saying "I'm not leaving" in some ways?. JM is playing a dangerous game both with the IMG points (it's a good year to get relegated, we should be right in 2025), and by trying to negotiate remaining in a Matt Ellis owned club. Notice JM guiding the narrative by saying that Ellis would have a role as CEO and be responsible for ......etc (inference being he would be responsible to possibly a JM led board). The language is a little arrogant for me, and clearly JM wrote both questions and answers. Has anyone heard of "Walter Mitty" on here?

Here we go again 2 plus 2 =5. - surely depends what capacity he wants to stay on in?
Just about everything you’ve posted there is your interpretation and could be well off the mark!

We have one season to get back into SL because for everyone after that the existing grade B clubs will have the additional revenue to develop their grounds and infrastructure to meet the IMG ratings.

You keep trying to find a way why it won't work but that bigger revenue will be going to their team not ground development I'm sure.

Why do you keep asking the same question when you don't understand the answers?

Re: Minards : Tue Sep 12, 2023 10:10 am  

I thought that was a forking good interview… clear… factual… informative…

I have a lot of time for John Minards… but he has a much thicker skin than me… I would have told you all to rack off and do it yourselves!
