This is what it has become, football is secondary. Hoss has blagged and blagged to pacify the fans but some are now starting to see what's going on.
Brad Potts leaving and nobody of note coming in as a replacement told me all I wanted to know about their mentality last January. It was quite clear that profit was on the agenda rather than promotion. Juddy moncur was also sold to our promotion rival. Answer is simple, profit over promotion.
It is irrelevant which division we are in to these people. The objective is to buy young players, develop them and sell on for a juicy profit. It's a recognised fact that the head coach/players will take the flack off most supporters whilst the owners remain unaccountable. They're well aware of this and use it cleverly. Head coaches like Stendel are easy pickings for Conway and co, you have to remember that Stendel was unemployed and unproven when they picked him up. He was a cheap option that fitted their agenda. To them, the guy is basically a puppet, just like Hecky was and I've no doubt that our next head coach will be the same and the one after.
The best interests of the club or its fans is way down on the list of priorities guys. The consortium doesn't have the integrity of someone like John Dennis because they are not fans or emotionally connected with this area. We are now part of the multimillion pound profit making idustry that is football. Personally I can't really be doing with it anymore and have felt this way for a few years.
