“I ain’t got no problem now. I know exactly what players I need to pick and what players are not playing for a reason.”

This.

Bettis either needs to go or be given some extra help. It seems only him and wilder are running the entire club between them, its bonkers (we must be only club in top 3 divisions to be like this).

Bettis needs to focus on financial & business side of things and not have to go through all the football strategy and transfers etc. We need a pure football man as you mentioned (Des taylor style) to be a go between and focus on the footballing structure and planning along with player transfers.

The manager needs to focus on the football and coaching and implementing the strategy along with leasing with scouts and the dof to identify what type of player he wants - he shouldn't be doing nithing more or nothing less.

We should have a fitness head coach that is in charge of the fitness department and their job to focus on ensuring we have the conditioning and well maintained players we can get, including recovery and ensuring players are more robust and less likely to have niggly Injuries throughout the season.

Make sure eveything is seperate department not in the back pocket of the manager or the managers old pals. This way it works as a proper business and not just yes man jobs answering to just the manager. It also ensures we have the option of being able to sack a manager and not worry about the infrastructure crumbling in like other season with wilder-selles farce.

I might be wrong but most teams have a structure where it's broken down into department's that don't change every time the coaching team changes ,beyond the first team coaching staff .
Ceo in our case Bettis
Sporting/technical director ( which we need)
Medical/physiotherapy
Sports scientist/nutritionists
First team coaching staff

If the pa had concealed debt that these owner wasnt ware off until after the purchase which these are alluring too. Then I dont blame them for renegotiating the price they had paid. Not sure how tbey purchase something as pricey without doing deep dive checks like.

Also if pa didnt cover himself with the price and payments. Then thats on him and his own daft fault. No sympathy and most people in business would do the same re getting out of paying it.

What postion do you hold in the inner workings of sufc to know we are not paying suppliers as we cant afford it?

I'm not likely to divulge that am I and neither are the club.
As I said choose what you want to believe, but there are a lot of smoke and mirrors going off behind the scenes.

That is a very grim read. Why doesnt he print that fucker out and slap it in his office wall?

Hull were promoted on not wildly dissimilar figures, particularly on xG and xA. That's what Wilder is clinging on to, and nobody will be able to convince him that Hull was the exception. No-one else has come close to what they're doing in the past 30 years.

From the Steve Rosen video, hopefully they are in the process of doing lots of this.
It sounded as they knew CW was running everything (after he was sacked) . Which along with Selles being crap, all the other aspects were headless. He said they were putting things in place so all the different departments ran properly.
So, hopefully, we are in transition to what you describe. Whether that includes a DoF setup, wasn’t touched on.

This was the most encouraging thing about the Rosen interview. It did sound as if they had identified the fundamental problem, albeit belatedly. The test will be how they remedy it, especially if they don’t get further investment. Bringing more money in is going to be key, either by selling it or bringing in new investors.

The trouble is Wilder will be the one who decides who is given that role. So it’ll already be off to a bad start as 1) he’ll be pally with wilder and wilder will have the “I brought him in” line (as he used about Hecky multiple times) and 2) when we eventually sack Wilder do we then also sack him? It’s just a mess created by giving Wilder what he wants - too much control.

No you wouldnt, I was taking the piss.... if you was in such postion you wouldnt be coming on here telling everyone state of the finances (which i chose not to believe for now). As that would of course be very unprofessional.

Problem we got, even if we are set up like that behind the scene.. everyone is wilder yes man..job for the lads and Wilder is pretty much the capo dei capi at this club.

But you're also going down the smoke and mirrors route, intimating that you have insider information about us not paying our bills and basically accusing Rosen of lying.

He asked himself 3 questions towards the end of that interview:

Did we have enough on the pitch to beat fleetwood?
100%

Did those players play to their maximum?
No

Did I get it right?
Whatever, whatever people think about
it I, I'll always feel and and, and, and look at that. As I said, I just think that that's that's something that always people bring up.

If there was any evidence needed he cannot ever take proper responsibility - that’s it right there.

Didnt look like he liked though questions and was a bit sharp with the tongue and attitude towards the journalists.. about time they asked him the hard hitting and good questions found their bollocks (a little bit) still kept saying ah its the fans asking these not us.. the fans the fans.....

Pme of the better pressers in recent times but he still dodged ducked dived and dodged
