The Board

[Unionjack 7,531]

She is the face of our luvly board so rightly or wrongly she is the one who will get the flack when the supporters are pissed.

Whether Romans has instructed he to be our DOF or she thinks she has the footballing knowledge yo be it I dunno but whichever it isn't working.

Our whole loan and transfer system needs looking at. From scouting to bringing in someone who understands football enough that they will understand the difference in quality between Barkley and Savic and that there are sometimes that we shouldn't penny pinch.

But as I say it is Roman that has her in this job. It's just less painful for us to get mad at Granny and not him. I know I do.

For me I think the board has this train of thought where they seem to think they can find players and trust they will be good under any manager.

That line there is the basic problem of our board and transfer system.

I'm positive they sit and think "that player X cost us allot of money so they must be good. Its the managers fault for not using him right. Why bother buying anyone else. I'm sure they will be OK"

The bigger problem is that we still haven't replaced Emenalo. As it seems she's been left alone with other non-footballing businessmen. Abramovich also seems to have lost interest. If we drag our feet in the transfer market again and miss out on top4, I would be for selling the club and dismantling the whole board of oily yes-(wo)men.

I must agree with @11Drogba. I am hoping for protest, but I don't really believe it would happen. Really hope I am wrong.

We were always discussing player/manager/board power at the club. But the ones which are the most powerless at this club are the fans. I don't think anyone cares about ours opinion, unfortunately.

Why dont we have an official fan forum/club/group who can interact with the Board or the ppl in the management and provide an insight on issues/opinions etc etc from the Fans side. Do we have anything on those lines ... I m assuming in this modern age of technology and exposure we should be having something on this line ...

Ya cant say that tho mate. You know that feelings and emotions come into play.

I dont care what division we are in or if we dont win silverware. But I want the board to have the same amount of care and passion as we do. If they come out and said look guys we are going thru some financial probs because of ...... but we are doing everything possible to get things sorted it would be muh better than us all thinking they dont give a toss

We are a viable concern and you would expect the board would want is to be our very best even if its for the sake of the shareholders.

I can say it and I have mate. Don't be so naïve no football clubs board gives a shit about the fans they don't exactly come from the same walk of life as the average fan. In the last few years we've seen clubs and local ones not like Chelsea who are a worldwide club be asset stripped by unscrupulous businessmen Blackburn, Portsmouth, Charlton, Coventry etc etc  They have every right to protest they've seen their clubs destroyed what have we seen a geezer put a billion pounds of his own money in and it would have been more if it wasn't for this poxy government.

We would be the laughing stock worldwide if we protested a team that's won the league twice in the last four years and are the current cup holders. Not you but please don't anyone put us in the same breath as Arsenal fans . If there was a protest (which there won't be) it would go the same way as West Ham where the ICF reared their ugly heads and threatened fans from marching. The exact same thing would happen at Chelsea the protesters would be accused of being left wing agitators and a counter demonstration would see all the Headhunters return and loads of racists from all over London and beyond most of them not Chelsea fans.

No never have done never will do. As I said most clubs especially Chelsea under Bates have no time for the fans they just expect blind loyalty.

Nobody is talking about apocalyptic BOARD-ABRAMOVIČ OUT protests. But step by step, we should show to the board and to THE WORLD how we feel.

It's really not about the trophies, it's about the fact that we will be mid-table team if we continue like this and WE CAN DO BETTER. We have enough resources to be better, it's just that we are stupid. I mean, if our board had no money, I wouldn't say a thing. I would accept that fact and move on. But we still have enough money, we are still somewhat attractive club, and we are making all the wrong decisions.

Don't talk bollocks mate we won't be a mid table team and the fans showed the players how we felt against Sunderland a couple of years ago when Steve Holland was in charge. If your not happy mate that's your prerogative but do better ? the bloody season hasn't started yet your major gripe is we haven't spent the money we used to your new Chelsea and just expect us to win everything and buy everyone well get used it to it mate.

This needs to happen. And I’ll be there, I promise. This mess has gone long enough. We are slipping to Arsenal territory here of not spending and mediocrity.

The big difference with Arsenal, is that they got a spanking new stadium from their board when they were not spending in the transfer market. We're not spending and our stadium is on the back burner

[Special Juan 27,439]

I don't think we are signing anyone else TBH.

[Antonio8 736]

at this point i hope that sarri makes miracles with the youth like odoi, ampadu, musonda

[Special Juan 27,439]

It was probably music to the ears of the board if he said he will work with what he's got.

Do you know he got crowdfunded to train to be a TV presenter FB that's taking the piss he could easily afford to pay for it himself.

 In 2015, he became the beneficiary of a BBC Diversity Creative Talent Fund grant
