I gave it a listen this morning. I'll keep it brief.
- Catty tone to the 'customers' reaction from fans. Not a good look. Own it, apologise for it and move on.
- Happy with the commitment levels from the owners re. the stadium/if we go down to League 2 (which should be planned for, Tim).
- Not happy with the responses re. DoF, collective responsibility for making decisions be that sacking KR or otherwise. That sort of gumpf comes out of KR too and TW alluded to it last time with all the talk about signings. I do not for one minute believe that Josh Murphy was a collectively agreed decision upon by all of the recruitment team.
- Bearing in mind GF and TW were more-or-less announced at the same time, I'm surprised at the lack of communication between the two.
- Others criticise the response to the first question. I'm more sanguine about it. He can't say back or sack either way as he becomes hamstrung by whatever response he says. Back him, we continue to lose and he looks the fool/annoys the fanbase more or we sack KR straight after defeat at the weekend and his words ring hollow. Say's KR will be saced and KR's job here is undermined. He has to tread a fine line.
I have a sense that the board are in a panic over the managerial situation now. They now know it should have happened earlier but kept with KR because he has form with getting us out of the brown stuff before. Now that we're in a tailspin at the wrong time of the season - the period in previous seasons when previously KR has started to turn us around - they don't know what to do. They're gambling on sticking with him in the hope he can reverse it rather than sacking him, bringing someone new in and nothing changing with the results. It's a hell of a gamble and not proving a popular one.
