Still struggling to understand why being communicated more of Swag’s lies and deceptions would be a positive…

Exactly. It wasn’t a positive having to hear Steve K***’s bullshit every other fucking day.

On the other hand, while it was rarely through official club channels, I quite enjoyed hearing Broughton speak. Usually on some podcast or other.

I couldn't go that far. Too many management buzzwords for me..

I think the communication line is absolute bollocks. Like any private company I don’t expect to be consulted on every decision. What I do expect though is that competent people are employed to carry out the requisite tasks in running a football club. I can then concentrate on the primary purpose of a football club, what happens on the pitch. 
 

The 2 are inextricably linked, however we’ll run clubs don’t need to communicate much.

When we finished 7th and had a couple of good cup runs and then all of a sudden the aim of the club was survival in the championship- we needed good communication to understand what had happened and why, albeit it would have gone down like a cup of cold sick. But rather than be upfront with it us it was up to supporters to piece it together. 

 

However when Eustace left, what does communication do? "Yeah so basically, we promised John a transfer budget and only gave him freebies and loans, then refused to back him in January despite sitting 5th and we wouldn't entertain an new contract for him. Ultimately John left because of this and the toxic atmosphere at the club because of the weird management structure. We appointed VI because he's one of the few managers who would agree to come and also be a nodding yes man"
