Some of the things being said aren't wrong - we need to be smart in the transfer market and we need to use the academy and ultimately we need to either produce sellable assets or take a punt on some rough diamonds from abroad to sell for a profit. 

I think Broughton was sincere in wanting to do that and then wanting to reinvest in the squad. Rudy thinks £4m spent on £30m + of incomings is acceptable and we should be grateful that venkys put a match on every Saturday. 

Broughton was sincere in wanting to get us premier league but pleaded for time when he first came in. Rudy has just said that there was no intention to push for promotion when we were sat in 5th. I thought pro athletes were meant to have a competitive and winning mentality?? 

 

You can debate Broughtons ability if you want but I never once doubted his sincerity to implement a Brighton/ Brentford model and get us promotion. Imo he was firmly on our side but had his hands tied behind his back. Again if you want to question his ability that's fine by me, but not his intentions. 

Rudy on the other hand has just done an hour long podcast where he essentially said "Promotion? Lol fuck off. Why don't you morons be grateful that we even put a team out on a Saturday?" 

To be fair to Rudy, he only said what Venkys have been doing for 15 years previous , promotion ? Fuck Off!

Think he signed his own p45 once he laid out what they should do with the Wharton money.

Yep, Gregg carried the can for the two January fiascos and when he'd watched them sell Wharton from under him and JDT and it was obvious the money was going elsewhere, together with JDT's departure, it was the end of his project and he knew it. 

Personally I don't believe for one second that the 'admin errors' they claim were responsible for the January fiascos were anything of the sort and nothing to do with Gregg or other staff down there, but of course as usual when the shit hit the fan they wheeled him out and he had to say something remotely professional to explain what had gone on and took responsibility for it as a senior staff member. 

Unfortunately some of the more gullible of our fanbase they conflated him publicly accepting responsibility for the fiasco as being the same as him being the issue/problem that caused the fiasco. I'd suggest two very different things. One being the head of department and public speaker doing the professional thing and taking the ultimate flak for the failings of others, the other being in my view other shadowy characters and middlemen doing their level best to scupper deals as part of a money saving and power play strategy.

Personally I would like to thank the tea boy for fully confirming what I have been saying for years. This club has absolutely no intention of ever getting promoted back to the premier league.

As for comparing the tea boy to the egg, just don't. Broughton was a professional and had an actual plan for how and what he wanted to achieve. He openly talked about making us a sustainable premier league outfit. Was he good enough to have achieved that? We'll never know as he was undermined and sabotaged at every opportunity.

The tea boy is more in the kean mould. An absolute utter cunt that's way out of his depth because he's willing to be a piece of shit errands boy for his pathetic paymasters.

I hope they keep wheeling him out to do interviews because he's so completely thick that he just keeps giving us more and more ammunition.

One more angle we can work on is why are they sending the tea boy out to do interviews when Suhail is the only person there with any power. We don't care what this little imp has to say, we want Suhail to answer the questions and if not him then venkys themselves.

Glad people are finally waking up to Broughton's competence. Look at his career elsewhere at Bodo/Chicago, and his record here, he knows how to run football operations. 

Between him and JDT I have no doubt we could have made the Premier league if Waggott/Suhail/Venkys had not interfered to ruin our chances every chance they got.

With them at the helm I was finally excited to watch us play and believed in the wider plan for the club. Loved JDT, and he explicitly did not blame Gregg. Gregg also communicated consistently unlike Rudy et al.
