Think someone else asked if Sandgaard speaks to Adkins as well but wasnt paying full attentionCafc43v3r said:
Shouldn't Adkins be doing that or is Roddy actually his boss?ForeverAddickted said:
Ged added its the worst conversation he has to have with TS when he speaks to him after a defeat as he's got to try and explain itRodneyCharltonTrotta said:
Good to hear if so.Scoham said:GR spoke to TS three hours ago. TS talked about reminding the fans he's in it for the long term.1 -
Are any of those 3 teams below us ?ForeverAddickted said:Gallen has just admitted that the four man Recruitment team isnt that much different to the previous Belgian regime.
Now where did I leave my tin helmet.
Gallen got quoted £2m recently for a League One player, three teams are spending ridiculous amounts4 -
That wasn't asked but TS speaks to both of them. TS has even called GR in the middle of the night (Denver time).Cafc43v3r said:

Absolutely what I thought.Leeds_Addick said:That was very good. Very well run and some good answers from Steve and Ged which made me feel a bit more positive about things than I did beforehand.
We'll have to see how things play out over the next few months but on first viewing Roddy didn't seem like the devil he's been made out to be. Him and Gallen seem like they genuinely work well together.

What's the voting strategy though? If its that all 4 have to agree then that's fine but if it's an overall majority then it doesnt matter what NA thinks.....if the other 3 want that player then he gets signed.roseandcrown said:The owner and the manager do have a veto role.0 -

huh?Scoham said:We will have budget for January. We're in a good place.
We don't want you Roland !6 -
We had a budget this summer too, just not a big one.Scoham said:We will have budget for January. We're in a good place.
Same goes for January I guess.1 -

You should pay a fiver a year and listen.
I thought Nigel Adkins had vetoed some players that had been suggested by Steve; according to SG tonight.

So if everything is so great and dandy, why was the recruitment an absolute mess from start to finish?
Seems like everything went perfectly according to them and they aren't changing anything for January.6 -

laid up ill so watched game on laptop - same reason i tuned into the roddy/ gallen thingCafc43v3r said:
I don't know what anyone else is doing in a Tuesday evening but I watched Charlton at Gillingham what did you do last night?DOUCHER said:given the current issues and the amount of people venting their views, it seems strange that there's only 87 people on this event - what else are they doing on a tuesday evening ? why not hear it from the horses mouths and discuss rather than just ranting away all day?

After last night I thought I'd refrain otherwise my questions might get bleeped out.ForeverAddickted said:

It appeared to increase towards the end. I'm sure they've learnt lessons from the summer, especially TS.golfaddick said:

My recollection of the discussion was the scouting team bring options to Steve, he and Ged discuss and take it to Nigel, and if Nigel's on board they bring it to Thomas.golfaddick said:

We spent far more than 75% of league 1 clubs did. I would guess that in transfer fees Stockley and Kirk were both in the top ten? I would actually imagine Clare was in the top 20. So few league 1 players actually cost money.golfaddick said:

Was it well spent is a different question.5 -

Why didn't you join the conversation, then you wouldn't have to ask stupid questions based on ignorance of the facts.

Steve Gallen's work load must've been off the scale and no wonder he was suffering.
Ged and Steve seemed to be a double act and Steve genuinely sounded relieved that Ged Roddy is here.
Pleased the Ronnie Schwartz saga was raised and it sounded like they tried to get Ronnie a new club. RS is back home in Denmark injured and this saga will run and run unless we take a big hit by the sound of it.5 -

Life, Gallen replied with, which seemed to surprise the fan.
From watching most of the meeting they seemed to genuinely care and share our frustrations.
In no way did it appear they feel everything is great or went perfectly.21 -
I find Steve Gallen clear, sincere and very much to the point. I found Ged Roddy's answers rather more wordy and abstract and the man is clearly an astute politician. He said that he speaks to Thomas every day.7

Very enjoyable evening, so glad I was able to join. Must say that’s a couple of cracking Zoom calls the Trust have platformed over the last year so a big well done in how these have been handled.
If it was intended to be a positive PR exercise for Steve and Ged, well it worked.Interesting and informative. I’ve no idea of the reality or what it might be masking, but I’m not someone who is easily sold to but I was pretty much won over by virtually everything they said.24 -
I thought it was a really good event, both Gallen and Roddy spoke really well and were happy fielding questions, including a few more awkward ones which they could have danced around but chose to tackle head on.
I think when someone has been at a club a long time it is easy to forget how much value they bring to the club and I think we are really lucky to have someone like Gallen. He seems really invested in the club and his role and I think he speaks exceptionally well, I am sure he could have walked away when times were tough and found another role but he stuck at it and credit to him for that. In the same way I imagine it can be difficult to go from the position he was in with so much responsibility due to there being nobody else at the club to those responsibilities now being more widely shared and again he tackled that question tonight and answered it really well.
The only thing which surprised me a little was TS having breakfast with the players and being sat in the debriefs after the game. You often hear managers saying there is a time and a place for owners to be involved and I do wonder how that interaction is perceived by the players and manager.
However I did think it was great to hear how invested TS is in the club, I know they are duty-bound to say that however do you get the impression it is sincere and is a world apart from what we have been used to the last few years. I know people feel mistakes have been made by the owner however from my point of view I can handle mistakes when they are made with best intentions and I also think he has done a tremendous amount of good for our club in the short time he has owned us. I do genuinely think we have been really lucky to find such an owner in an age when clubs seem to be taken over by what at times feel anonymous and detached individuals.

How does it favour us if he doesn't play? Surely we want him to play as that's the point of the loan.Scoham said:We were told AMB would get in Ross County's team. The deal favours us if he doesn't play and them if he does.
Or is there some kind of penalty fee paid to us for each game if they don't play him?1 -
No. Sorry...soapboxsam said:@995632

Maybe the Accrington striker Charles? I seem to recall they put a 2m price tag on him when a championship side asked.ForeverAddickted said:Gallen has just admitted that the four man Recruitment team isnt that much different to the previous Belgian regime.

Wished Thomas would step back a bit though. Bonkers thing to say after Roland but to me there is a balance.Like an office big boss who doesn’t know that for a team night out you have a drink and then leave everyone to crack on, he needs to learn to detach a bit from the football side of things even if he is personally loving being so involved.22
