Just 1 Question

I know this sounds stupid but who ist actually running our club? Bernie and Flav are busy with all the F1 stuff so is it GP who is doing everything?

[BobHazell]

Surely the Chairman will be running the club won't he?
Who is the Chairman?

[W12_Ranger]

Paladini is only running things when things are going well...when they are not he is merely just a meeter and greeter at C Club where he has nothing to do with anything...at least that is the impression Pete has given me.

Don't really want to turn this into a GP thread. I'm worried that this is the most important time in the season and we don't seem to have anyone in a position to do anything unless one of Bernie or Flave are in town, which they are not that often. Somebody else must be doing some work surely????

Well it was bit daft asking what Paladini does!

[yugohoop]

Apart from that he is the only other board member that is left, or can you name someone else? Why do people on this message board always look for a squabble instead of posting with relevance? Btw I didn't ask what he does, I asked if he was the only one there.

That's 2 questions.

There must be some pretty important decisions to make now re transfers --who is actually authorised to make those sorts of decisions? FB and BE cannot serve two masters -- either F1, or here for us at what is a pretty important time (and one which could be defining for our survival next season).
Impossible to run a football club efficiently when the ones who wield the sword are too busy wielding it at their dinky cars.

Gianni will be gaffer with John, Steve, Rebecca, Joe etc doing their normal things reporting in innit. Ishan never did much when he was about. Pretty much business as usual I'd say.

Plus we do have a team of finally trained badgers that report straight to bernie..they dont speak much they just "do".

Its them that built the new tv gantry. Premier League letter came thru about the gantry, gianni opened it and thought "ok, where do i start with this" Before he could put the letter down a badger appeared from a cupboard..wandered over, picked up the letter and just said "BADGER".

Next thing, looking out onto the pitch there's a hundred badgers in hard hats taking measurements and the like.

Everyone just lets them get on with it - no one even knows any of their names

I know what you mean about the faceless brigade, but even they have to have costings authorised and the funds released -- they are the monkeys, the organ grinders of F1 are the ones who release the money.
If not, and people are just getting things done off their own back, we will be in a right state before long.

"monkeys" "organ grinders" fine way to talk about a bunch of people who were around when we won the championship despite having one of the smallest fan bases and stadiums in the championship.

Figurative talk for those with authority, and those without.
NOT derogatory, just an everyday English expression.
