Been accused of not answering these Q&A on another board, must have missed them, but here goes. Won't satisfy the people that asked them but, here are my answers.
i'm sure I answered them but here goes.
1. Why did you not demand this of the board before? I have at every opportunity
2. If you are true to what you're now saying why blame Sousa for us not making the playoffs? he tried to invent a style of football that never existed or was not suitable for the championship
3. Who do you think is to blame for not getting strikers in? The board, not enough money to get top strikers, but SOusa did have Blackstock and Helgusson and tinkerd too much
4. Who do you think is really to blame for us not making the playoffs? Without doubt Paulo Sousa
5. If we don't get 2 quality strikers in and we are only mid table after 20 games will you be campaigning for the replacement of the new manager? Not, if he sticks by his prinicapals and plays the same team
6. Considering you say "If you want to go up within the 4 year plan. Spend big on two quality strikers and don't try and get up us on the cheap. It won't work as proved this season" Why would you not start a campaign against the board on this matter, instead of a campaign against Sousa? Sousa lost it in my view, by getting us only 4 points out of 27, at a time when were within touching distance. he did not know his best 11
7. Do you think if Sousa was given 2 quality strikers he could have got us to the playoffs? He would have continued to play 1 or tinker
8. Do you think your comment now contradicts what you have been saying the past couple of months? Absolutely not, this squad is good enough for play off spot, an extra two strikers should get us into the top 2
As I said: No one deserves to be threatened or abused. But you're too glib in your post and ignore some of the central questions that need to be answered. The only reason for not answering them would be that you have done something that you shouldnt have.
Pete: You (and Scott) finally responded and said the club contacted you about the post. That raises other interesting questions - including the process by which the club got in touch with the original poster. And what role WATRB played re that.
The central one which I have asked and which have others have asked - but which you have consistently refused to respond to: What is the source/and under what circumstances were you provided the information ?
When THE post was made re Sousa's desire for a Portugese defender, WHY did you respond (with that internal information - "[T]he Portugal defender was wanted for £300,000 for which Sousa would have got a cut." This is the central question, that many, many people have asked - and will continue to ask.
So how suddenly did you come into this information?
What was the process: Did you contact the club and tell them about that there was this poster saying what Sousa ostensibly said: And you needed some facts to refute the claims? Or to put Sousa in a bad light?
If not: What exactly was this process?
And when are you going to respond to the real issues instead of creating straw arguments to respond to and adopting the martyr complex?
If Managers are going to be ousted for revealing confidential information...Should other club officials be treated any differently?
