For all the optimism of the SJR involvement, we are yet to see anything. Our 2 major backroom targets remain missing, Berrada agreed but can't start yet, Ashworth on gardening leave even though no agreement has been reached. Surely we should have reached agrrement with Newcastle, a chance to be decisive and move forward wasted.
I guess we will see when the window opens, are we able to shift people out, and also bring our targets in more efficiently than in previous years years, hopefully at appropriate fees.
I can't help feeling that if ETH was staying, we would know by now, again I'm not sure what the issue is. If he's staying fine, if he's going, say so.
I know it takes time, but it already feel like we could be a bit more decisive.

Maybe they are waiting till he gets back from his holiday.
08 Jun 2024 14:22:51
I don't get the concern.
Timings on certain things in business don't always go to plan the only difference here than with most businesses is that it's happening under the glare of 1 billion fans and under the spotlight of the media.
These issues are everyday issues that most businesses have.
This is a complete restructure it will take time and the pieces don't always fall into place ideally.
Relax the kaks it will be another 18 months at least until there is real clarity and significant progress.
Everything going on is normal imo in a situation like the one the business is going through.
Let there be no panic. Everybody wanted a new structure so let them get on with it and accept they're are things we don't know or understand.
I swear there are people here that would tell a heart surgeon how to do their jobs having never performed open heart surgery themselves.

Do they have to announce that they're keeping him, if that's what they do? Maybe there won't even be this big announcement we're all waiting for.

INEOS culture is to keep everything quiet - why broadcast your intentions to your business rivals? That’s why SJR is a billionaire.
There will no doubt be an announcement out if the blue, after weeks of secret negotiations.
Things ARE happening in the background no doubt - we’re just not used to a professional business keeping their cards close to their chests.

Whilst we all want information and answers If the right manager comes in or stays, if the hierarchy and transfer team improve everything over the next couple of years, if they decide what to do and implement a strategy for the ground. then this short period where have been made we will hear.
08 Jun 2024 16:41:58
So everything is fine, nothing to see here, all very professional. Apart from the rumour about Southgate, obviously.
08 Jun 2024 19:12:53
Ken I agree, I don't get the concern either.
If ETH is staying, why are people expecting an announcement? Clubs don't make an announcement each year that their manager is continuing with their contract.
If ETH is leaving, then it will be announced.
Either way, we have no control over it whatsoever. Go outside, enjoy the sunshine ?.

Longer it takes, less time there is to make changes to the playing staff. Cheaper it will be. More loan can be repaid, lower I interest charges will be. More profits for the Glazers and the glazers 2.0.
Why worry, just sit back and watch the other teams around you run out of sight while we spend another year sitting on our hands.
We want to believe you inneos, but you seem to be fluffing it up at the moment.

Dodgy
What are ineos fluffing up exactly? they've just brought into the club. They haven't got the backroom staff all inplace.
Most of us when they came in wanted a plan in place that seems to be happening but also from ourside surely abit of patience should be expected?
09 Jun 2024 14:41:39
Yes we need patience, but surely they know whether they want to keep ETH or not, given that are talking to so many others it seems not. It's a bit ham fisted for me.
And just pay the compensation for Ashworth.
09 Jun 2024 16:31:47
Just pay ?
One of the reasons he is a billionaire and your not.
09 Jun 2024 18:15:53
Just pay Newcastle what they want when frankly they're making ridiculous claims like £20m? One of the things ineos want to do is stop ye being mugged off and overpaying all the time.
