As for the conference itself.
The atmosphere sounded like people having a discussion after they had just come away from attending a funeral.
Very dour and downbeat.
We are talking sport and entertainment here.
Therefore it needs a certain amount of zip and RRRooooaaarr !!!
What it dosent need is 3 representatives of the club looking downbeat.
I think the role of generating enthusiasm has to fall to the CEO.
But he failed to deliver.
(Ben Mansford was the man for this job)

So in conclusion - a poor media presentation with 3 representatives of the club looking miserable.
Not the greatest of sales pitch.
Tha could either have bullsh1t Ben spouting off a load of unrealistic rabble or straight talk. I know which I prefer. It's quite obvious that the club is in dire straights financial wise. PMG have run us into the ground as I and a few other posters on here have constantly preached over the last 12 months. Rebuilding their (PMG) mess int gonna happen overnight. The new people at the helm can only do so much. Next season is still all about stability as far as I'm concerned. Mid table with steady progress on the pitch will do me. Owt else is a bonus.

Parekh clearly stated that the club will have to sell to cover the shortfall. Again, it was as obvious as the size of Poyas snout. Khaled also mentioned the transfer budget and the fact that we were looking at free transfers etc which tells its own story.

This is about survival at the moment. When faced with that prospect then things are going to be low key. However, what's done is done. As Parekh said, it's about the future now.

Interesting to hear Jean Cryne speak and her emotion was absolutely understandable. Full credit to her.

Chien Lee is still the majority shareholder unfortunately. However, with the club on a current poor financial footing it could well lead to another cash injection from the shareholders and as Parekh pointed art, if they don't cough up(participate) then their shares will be diluted. We all know that the Arseoyle and Mr Ree won't part with any brass so the end of them two is possibly nigh. A dunt know abart anyone else but that prospect is music to my ears and was a massive positive I took from this press conference
