Years of decline. Heading towards league 1. Recruitment a disgrace. Giving the keys to the city to each manager to bring in their mates. Allowing tricky Ricky to run the club.
It’s time we as supporters stopped hoping we get lucky or eventually we appoint the right manager. You plan for success, and unfortunately our owner isn’t fit for purpose.
Before the ‘best owners in the world’ brigade show up, of course it’s great the owners care & that they invest in the club. But it counts for nothing when the decision making is as poor as it’s been at this club since 2016.
We either keep swirling around the plug hole and go next year, or we drop this year. But we can have no complaints. We need people who know how to run a football club. Unfortunately Jon couldn’t run a bath.

The guy is only playing with Daddy’s train set for a bit of a pastime. Leave him alone, he’s not hurting anyone 😂🤷

Frightening just how stupid he his, my nephew is in senior management at bet365, nothing but good things to say about Denise but John errmm nobody has anything good to say whatsoever about him.
Gullible, naive, clueless all come to mind with his involvement and total incompetence at this club, single handily destroying this club just like his father did decades ago.
The management appointments have been garbage and I count SS as garbage, harsh probably but based on what I’ve seen a “chancer” in the game certainly not a tactician in any way or form

So out of his depth it's frightening.
Absolutely useless

We'd be better off with actual Ricky Martin. But yeah, John's decision to recruit him. Him and Jared Dublin. There's nothing much managers can do when the recruitment is so bad.

Some of us have been saying it for years but been abused and told to be careful what we wish for.
Yeah, righto.

The vast majority on here wanted a Director of Football and a recruitment guru.
The vast majority on here applauded the signing of players who had no experience of Championship football.
John Coates has only done what the vast majority of posters thought was the right thing to do.

Begs the question why is he at the ground and not Bet365 HQ?
I don’t think you need to be Einstein to work that one out do you?
Out of the way as couldn’t run a bath!

He doesn't score any 'brownie points' for bringing in the apparent out-of-their-depth shite he has done. |

John Coates has only done what the vast majority of posters thought was the right thing to do. True. But we've done it badly. Ricky fucking Martin (I still can't believe that's his name) and Jared Dublin have signed dross. There is talent but no leaders |

Ive said it before (for the moaners without a footballing brain)
Without the coates family it would be FAR worse than a bad manager.
Supporters without a clue, who see things in black and white are are a big problem for the club.
We'll see in the next 4 games

John Coates has only done what the vast majority of posters thought was the right thing to do. Data driven recruitment has somehow made us worse. The two people running it are absolute chancers though. People need to realise they're dreadful! |

I’d say 90% of the fans wanted SS after Potter and Nuno said no.
He’s then I introduced a DoF setup and backed all of them which is what we wanted.
He needs to take some responsibility but what about the players picking up a big wedge to produce utter dross week on week, year on year. We now have not improved after spending huge sums of money and SS has been backed and I know it’s early but the record to date is not good enough.
The one thing I will say is apart from the fans he’s the only one that’s paying for this and the rest are somehow being paid.

He means well but just isn’t cut out for it. He needs a footballing appointment to take over as chairmen by all means own the club but we need someone who has half a clue in that seat.

John Coates has only done what the vast majority of posters thought was the right thing to do. But we did it in a lazy half arsed manner by allowing the manager to bring in his own men ,there can't be a single club in the country who went about it that way. So we have a new manager/ head coach working under the previous manager's go to guys ! |

They continue as owners but bring people in who actually know what they are doing to actually run the club. |
