BOTH sides would be more apt / grammatical.
YES his terms might be that Scott has to leave before he becomes the Manager
why are people now obsessed with Scott .. been said he has no influence on the playing side his job is solely recruitment like Steve Gallen … and CM has no say in the day to day running of the club .. again been said to many times yet people still go on and on
In this interview Gavin Carter also reiterated that “they are owners not investors” meaning they are taking a proactive interest. For me this was a bit of a shift in emphasis from the time of the takeover.

"You can spend the rest of your career explaining what went wrong, persuading and cajoling, carrying the baggage of Southampton around with you like a cross. Or you can smash it to pieces, burn the whole thing down and start afresh.
Possibly the most interesting part of this whole piece. If true, it shows that maybe we are more than a casual investment to these people.
Duchatelet was completely hands off. Sandgaard was like an octopus. Maybe we've finally found some balance ?
Glad you picked up on this Carly, I actually read it as 'look at the mess you lot made appointing the last two, give it here' !
Could this intervention by Brener and Friedman be at the request of Charlie Methven. If of course Scott has been the main man behind the appointments of Holden and Appleton, it could be that Methven hadn’t been in full alignment with Scott or perhaps have the authority to overrule or question him on football matters. None of us despite the rumours know the real dynamics of the SMT and as a shareholder and conduit between the club and investors I can see Methven both covering his own back and protecting his percentage of the project.

So why did CM approach Steve Sutherland to come back to the club if he has no say in the day to day running?
CM has never shied away from saying he is involved with the commercial side of the club.. hence the appointment of Steve Sutherland
I was responding to the claim that CM has no involvement
Who said he isn’t involved..
Our old friend Ronnie Moore, as usual!! Here's his post from yesterday - "why are people now obsessed with Scott .. been said he has no influence on the playing side his job is solely recruitment like Steve Gallen … and CM has no say in the day to day running of the club .. again been said to many times yet people still go on and on
I watched him last Friday night for Stoke U21's against West Ham and he was absolutely guff
Ran around a bit and made a nuisance of himself but didn't look at all threatening and seemed desperate to get himself at least a yellow card. In fact I didn't know it was him until I wrote up my report later that evening. Maybe it was just a bad night at the office
West Ham won 3-1 and have some pretty decent players tbf

Well kinda true.. As he isn't based at the club unlike Rodwell and Scott, they are running the club day to day. Any major decision is made by the whole group, so he would be involved.

He couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo - been absolutely useless at Stoke.

He scored 23 goals in 39 appearances for them two seasons ago, and then has gone off the boil for them since.
Sounds very much like a championship version of Cole Stockton.

Im 100% sure there has been a shift in emphasis mate. They have paid £12m for the club, are funding the ongoing losses. No mater how wealthy you are that will make you pay attention lol. Things are obviously not going as planned so that means they will think "hold on we had better have a look at this" lol
If it all goes wrong then Friedman and Brener are responsible. If it all goes well then Friedman and Brener can take the credit. Not Leneghan, Warrick, Rodwell, Scott, Methven or any of the others hitherto destroying our club because of dreadful footballing non achievement. Now Friedman and Brener have the job of persuading our dwindling and disillusioned support to buy season tickets. As well as survival this season, what would persuade me would be a new contract for George Dobson.
The more I read about Nathan Jones's persona, the more I slightly worry!
If he comes in, he/we will need to start off well else it could get ugly.
It's a great appointment but I do worry what will happen if we start poorly. The ideal time to have got him would have been the start of a summer window. I think as fans we just have to give him time even if things don't get immediately better, with the aim being to do anything to stay up and then go again next season

I think we should be realistic and expect to start poorly under him
February is a tough month, Reading and Lincoln are the games where we should truly expect to see positive results - Derby (He wont be in charge of anyway) | Bolton | Portsmouth | Derby, I'll be happy if we can get anything - Never know of course, could see a turn of form to when Bowyer came in, remember us having a similar attitude against Plymouth and Rotherham when he took charge

That 23 goal season was actually 6 years ago when he was on loan at West Brom. He really hasn't done anything for years and feels like he is on the way out (34 now and a player who always relied on pace), I would avoid unless we have no other option i.e May gets injured.

Cawley saying Paul Hart could be back as part of NJs backroom team. Think someone mentioned Chris Cohen had recently gone to Lincoln?

Luckily we're pretty good at starting well under new managers. It's after the initial 6 or 7 games that's the problem.
