Lets be perfectly frank here, the Owners are only really going to be aware of whatever the Mein Fuhrer decides to relay back to them.
This is a man that just 2 weeks prior to actually sacking Burnett stood there on the terrace, with a straight face and told me he hadnt spoken to or heard of a single person that wanted him gone. Was utter delusion on the grandest scale.
Im sure the Americans are being told, oh Peter Taylor is amazing, everyone loves him, its just one or two trouble makers causing a fuss.
I was desperately hoping that a new season would bring a new dynamic to almost everything at the club.
A new team of wonderful signings, that would spark some life and excitement back on to the terraces.
Failed!! It was one of the drabbest and dullest games and atmospheres in a long time.
A manager with an ambition on par of the Owners, to set up a team that would play exciting football and propel us towards promotion, or at the very least the playoffs.
With 3 points from 12 we sit 3rd bottom.
A new club shop was meant to be finished.
Failed (miserably) - we must have hired the slowest, sh@test building firm in living history.
Some new food choices in the ground to tempt those of us heading to the club straight from work.
Failed (miserably) - same old julie's burgers, stale pot noodles and cardboard chips.
Perhaps a change to the matchday hospitality menu?
Failed - same old, same old overcharged crappy carvery.
How about a new selection of drinks in the clubhouse or even a drinks promo or two?
Nope - dont be silly .... failed! I was literally at the bar for 2 minutes before a bloke came up to change his pint of flat carling.
A new commercial guy. OK, hes only been in the job a couple of weeks or so & happy to see what he comes up with, but what the hell have we been doing all summer?
Virtually no PR.
And what smacked me last night was how bare the ground was of advertising boards. There was a time that the whole back of the carling stand was filled up and also behind the goal. Now, both areas are almost completely empty of any advertising/sponsorship whatsoever.
Even the slightly slicker looking programme contained notes from Taylor having his 1st pop at supporters who had previously dared to voice any concerns.
So yeah, if Peter & Craig are being made to believe that the club continues to be run effectively, they should know they are being sold a pup!
I was SO excited to be returning to the ground last night after a very long summer without any football, but by 9.30pm, my only feeling was that the old place had a feel of being completely on its arse, in virtually every respect.
All very demoralising tbh!
