Moving B&Co sideward is hardly a vote of confidence them. As for Director of football, it’s always seemed to be a duplication to me. Can’t ever have seen Clough standing for that appointment.

Patience.
Patience.

Everything off the pitch and behind the scenes is sweet.

It doesn't seem like it.
Ah well

To cut a long letter short.
He's sort of apologised for the appointment of Bromby.
We re-launch with hope n patience.

Appoint a Head of Football Operations / Director of Football, I thought that’s why Bromby were brought in, who is going to recruit one Bromby ?
Pools must be haemorrhaging money with all the non playing staff, I assume Clayton and Liddle are still on the payroll, try and offload them and that would free up some cash for new players.

Logically and practically a cull is called for immediately.
There must be only one leader the players are responsible to and no distractions from the previous crew who are now surely redundant…?

Contracts will stop an immediate cull.
The big man must be Hindsighting himself.

If only I backed Nicky like I said I would from day 1 we could now already be in the EFL or at the worst got unlucky in the play-offs.
Whatever your Fevs views we were only 3 pts behind the play-offs in late February with no Transfer Window.

We Gunna be a million miles away from that option this season after what I imagine has cost an absolute fortune.

This could be a very long journey back to Division 4.

But life is life where good health priorities a game of Football.

On a positive note.
At least he’s reconfirmed he’s commitment to pools, recognises it’s not been good enough in respect of the expectations due to the money that was invested in the team and backing for Pete Wild.
There were some who wanted Landon to communicate his thoughts on the season so far which I think he’s done
Just my take on it.

You’re right…actions do speak louder than words in this instance

Exactly. He was sold the biggest pup in this club's history with the appointment of Lee Clark and the recruitment of a team of misfits. He must be massively disappointed with how things have turned out so far, yet still says: "Pete Wild, Dave Conlon and the wider football department have my full backing. We have already supported the manager with new signings, and that will continue."

It's a safe bet that Pete Wild wouldn't have come without that promise of more money to rebuild the squad. We all want to see a clear out of the people who advised Landon Smith so badly, but the bottom line for now is that he's paying for a fresh start on the pitch. Without that relegation would already be nailed on.
