COH - The worst ownership tenure in the history of the club?

[Rodley]

I’ve never seen a period of SUFC Ownership where every single football decision they have got completely wrong. Who in gods name have they got advising them?!

From the protracted sacking Wilder to the ludicrous appointment of Selles (whomever made that wants binning off immediately), with no track record of success at this or any level. The ridiculous AI signings who will never trouble a first team at this level to realising they were going down the wrong route too late and spending money on a load of dross at the end of August (exception being Tanganga and one or two others). Throw in the frankly bizarre silence from the club in terms of communication.

It’s an abject mess from top to bottom. I really dread this next managerial appointment, probably another Selles type with 2-3 years of experience winning fuck all.

Has there ever been an implosion of a football club more skilfully managed?

God help us. WTTWY.

 

[shorehamview]

Give it time, they’re not at Mike McDonald levels yet. Yet…..

 

[Berkshire Blade]

They have made two huge mistakes on the pitch that's for sure.

 

[Dkc]

Who were the majority shareholders who saw us get relegated to the third division then disastrously appointed Peters and saw us relegated to the 4th? Surely that's the worst.

It’s like having bloody Trump in charge of your football club.

Makes you realise what a good Chairman the potless prince was. If he'd had a few more quid, I doubt we'd be having a lot of these problems.

What happened to Des? He was superb at picking players, and presumably advice - where did he go?

 

[Lower Drop Blade]

Give it time, they’re not at Mike McDonald levels yet. Yet…..

Least when he got rid of one of our greatest ever managers he brought in a fabulous replacement.

 

[HackeyBlade]

I think I'd forgive a lot of it if they weren't so fucking invisible. I don't deserve or need to know every little detail but I genuinely have no idea who our owners even are

Nicely put

 

[metalblade]

I have no confidence in the owners, none at all. It could easily get a lot worse if they don't get someone who knows about football to advise them. Fail this season then it is a fire sale and we become another QPR or Preston type of club always just surviving while looking over our shoulder at relegation. The way things are going we could be going into league one oblivion this season, we have to make the change while there is still time to salvage something from the wreckage of this season.

 

[Keen Blade]

Here is something I've said since the owners arrived.

You can't live in the USA , have no knowledge or experience of UK football,

And expect to run a successful UK club without putting in some "senior presence" on the football side.

 

[Roygbiv]

Unfortunately they are nowhere near our worst owners. One of our ex owners literally stole money from the club and is still a fugitive.

And that is Wilder is the only 'quick fix' -he can run the club and team, anyone else comes in - they are going to think WTF.

"Quick fix" is the word, goes ok to start with but falls apart after a few months.

 

[GymClassHero]

They aren't the worst, but they're right up there.

I can't believe Selles is still here this morning, they should've pulled the trigger last night. I expect they all need to sit around a long table with a Starbucks to "talk it through".

What is there to talk about? We have scored one goal, and again had no shots on target. It's getting that bad you have to just laugh.

GET HIM FUCKING GONE

 

[Champagneblade]

Give it time, they’re not at Mike McDonald levels yet. Yet…..

Mike MacDonald at least got the New John Street Stand built, had the ability to attract Kendall, saw us seconds away from Prem football and then had us playing champagne stuff under Spackman.

Yes they had a money that transfer window that screwed it all up, but 6 Ls makes Billy McKewan, David Weir and Nigel Adkins look like promising appointments!

Naaa we would be top of league with Mr Trump

They let him go earlier this year or in the summer. Which I was surprised about.

Why I've no idea because as far as I can tell we haven't appointed a DOF or anything else.

We have no idea really what's going on which tells it's own story.

But the hints suggest that James Bord has come in and used his AI machine to inform decisions and strategy.
COH have got giddy and jumped with it thinking it's a cheap way to have a state of the art recruitment system for players and coaches.

Thing is football isn't that complicated at its core. And good coaches and players will always outperform AI stats based choices.

 

[metalblade]

Don't forget the time difference chaps Yanks are behind us, in the case of COH that would be about three weeks to a month behind.

 

[MagnifiqueShorehamStreet]

I’m not the biggest Wilder fan, by any stretch ,but right now we urgently we need someone who knows the club, who can give it an immediate lift, and can hit the ground running, otherwise, it’s a real and probably losing relegation fight.
There’s no one really out there, Dyche excepted, and would he want it, who wouldn’t be another massive risk we can’t afford to take.
Do it now, and do it today!

 

[Champagneblade]

They were at the game.

Though judging by their decision making they’re about 10 years behind us, not 5 hours!

 

[I should coco]

Don't forget the time difference chaps Yanks are behind us, in the case of COH that would be about three weeks to a month behind.

Or about 2 and a bit years, if you look at their effort in the Second World War.

 

[Brian Blessed]

So where are the people who were sucking them off on here last week after the deadline day signings?

 

[sitwell]

Woolhouse , Hashimi, Macdonald ,we have had some pearlers. McCabe ,Prince Laver, Brearley and Hassall dont look too bad in comparison.

 

[Guesty]

How far away do you think that is now?

Not the Peters but obviously, but someone.

 

[AlienWoodward]

They're not the worst but that's because they haven't been in charge long enough.
Give them time they'll smash this worst ever owner title out of the park.

 

[CoatesyBlade]

Worst ownership ever??! Give it a rest!
They’ve appointed the wrong manager… let’s see how they right this wrong before making such outlandish claims!

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

Get on the to Dozy - maybe he's managed to get the money together to buy us
