Judging by pearson's statement then I'd have said that the club has performed poorly in pretty much every area but profitability, which it hasn't done that well in considering the chronic underinvestment. Seems the reason we've been posting profits is because we've been penny pinching everywhere to the detriment of the club as a whole. If you think that's some kind of vindication of rule's capabilities then you have a different view on things than me

Exactly the point i was trying to make, The CE is responsible for all areas of a business and it is quite clear we have failed in many areas due to penny pinching and lack of investment. Saying we have posted a profit so JR is doing a good job is far too simplistic.

You don't understand. rule has only been involved in things that have been good (of which it seems there are precious few). Everything else was kath's fault

People like to fence sit until something happens then they can say i told you so, when JR gets his marching orders everyone will be on here listing his short comings.
The truth is as CE he has presided over a slow and steady decline on the field, poor recruitment, falling gates and a total demoralisation of the fans. The only positive he can claim is posting small profits and lining KH's pockets.

Recruitment has not been poor, certainly not for the past two years. The problem was the coach's inability to get the best out of the players.

FFS, what is it with you and JR.

If JR goes it will because AP has decided someone else can do better.

Poor recruitment, are you for real?

Fubar caused the demise of FC and the fans morale.

I'm not defending him either, just suggesting the possibility that he may not have done anything that requires defending. It's entirely plausible that the shareholders were calling all the shots, and he was simply implementing their plans. Of course, you're right that he could have walked away, but would you walk away from a well paid job if you couldn't find anything equivalent?

which is how most people feel, it's easy to be self-righteous behind a keyboard.

Penny pinching and lack of investment comes from the owners, not club employees.

The truth is you don't know what the truth is.
