Whatever our budget was, it was clearly insufficient to bring in the quality we still needed following the 7 initial signings. And after decades of following the club I'd add, twas ever thus.PragueAddick said:
I agree. But someone could, indirectly, by asking Charlie about our transfer and wages budget for this season compared with Wrexham's. (Forget Birmingham, it's a grotesque aberration). Charlie may try to deflect by saying that actual fees and wages can never be known, but in truth he has a spreadsheet which gives him a very good idea.Gribbo said:Think more searching questions should be levelled at Jones at this point tbh. It's not like he's not had the backing
Ask him, somebody, please.2 -
Are you suggesting that NJ didnt want to get rid of him, then? That goes against some pretty substantial evidence, not least the subbing and dropping of May in the latter stages of last season, for reaasons which baffled Curbs and co. You should also read up on @Swisdom insights into May too. Swisdom went off May a bit for personal reasons he explains, But the fallout between May and Jones preceded all that.Return of the SE7 said:
Well found. I came across this a few months ago and got pelters from CMs mates on another thread for using a naughty word about CM saying that us fans "should be well advised" ..... yes because we're all twats. To put this snippet into context this discussion was about getting rid of ageing players and realising some value before they 'melt' and become worthless. That's the real reason.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:
Ask him what his salary is.
Too many leeches at our club.1 -

I'm not contradicting any of that. You should try and find the full interview with CM. He makes it very clear about moving ageing players on to realise some value before they become worthless in terms of a return, regardless of what they may contribute throughout the season. The points you and others make about NJ just suits his narrative. I don't trust him and think he's on the make. He may have made a small investment, but what's he being paid?3 -
The owners don't have to dip into their own pockets, and we can get Ahadme and Godden for the same price we sell May for. Aren't we clever?ct_addick said:Question for Charlie.....what was the dumbass thinking behind letting Alfie go ?1 -
Can you confirm timings for tomorrow please (and have you checked there’s no band playing underneath again?)1

Hope it goes well tonight. Of course they will say they don’t comment on team matters but when it comes to how the money has been spent, and who in SMT is responsible for those transactions, they have to answer because they’ve got their own skin in the game, and neither are mega-rich enough to lose it.3

Hope they turn up and you give these clowns a hard time.0

The scouting and recruitment has generally been shockingly awful. None of REG, Gillesphey, Small, Docherty, A Campbell , Ahadme look much good
Mitchell is starting to look a bit slow and laboured after a good start. Coventry is half decent ( although not as good as Dobson) but can’t take set pieces and he has to do it all the time. Ramsey is a good playerPossibly too early to tell ( hopefully) on Godden
anyway the overall success hit rate is woeful
Feel free to ask who is responsible because I’m certainly willing to point the finger at Andy Scott !1 -
Hoping they are asked some hard and probing questions rather than being given a hard time.Hartleypete said:Hope they turn up and you give these clowns a hard time.

Saw a job lot of pitchforks on ebay, anyone own ducks or work on the roads?1

I think it would be wrong for them to comment on things like team selection EG Small or Ramsey, why is Gassan being picked, etc because neither is the team manager and if Charlie said, for example, that Taylor should play ahead of Coventry, he would quite rightly be accused of overstepping his role and undermining his manager.PragueAddick said:Hope it goes well tonight.

But I do hope that they are asked about their confidence in Jones and the value for money for the various investments made so far, the future plans
But we as a committee don't, as it has been said, control who asks what and as you yourself said not everyone is adept at framing a probing question.
We'll see what occurs, I'm sure we'll hear some things of interest but it won't be the football version of a court room drama where the clever barrister wins the case with some brilliant cross- examination but that just isn't how these things work.3 -
They can be asked about this new device at the Valley

I’d be very interested in knowing more about the recruitment process. Are they using their own bespoke data for scouting, or is the data outsourced from a provider like Statsbomb, Wyscout, or Hudl? Additionally, how much weight is given to the manager’s personal preference in bringing in players from previous teams?It’s concerning that we’ve seen multiple ex-Luton players come in this summer. It suggests recruitment is overly weighted toward players Jones has worked with before, which narrows the recruitment pool. This feels like an outdated approach, particularly for a team that needs to be more innovative and efficient with its spending if we are to improve. I’d like to see a long-term vision.I’m sure they’ll keep their cards close to their chest, but based on this window, I don’t think anyone’s rushing to steal their secrets.8

Priority one should be asking about the lack of hot water in the toilet sinks.5

What you trying to catch? surely we want answers to the calamitous transfer dealings that have gone on, amongst many other things.Henry Irving said:

Ask him if May was sold before he 'melts', and is he taking a wage (doesn't have to declare how much).
Would love to come along but best part of 7 hour round trip.0 -
Hoping to make it home in time to make this. Will be on my own though0
-
On my way now, I have my own questions in mind, but I don't mind asking for someone if it's an important question.
I.e., I'm not willing to ask what Charlie Methvens favourite football chant is.

A question about ACA Football Partners would be nice. Whether they're still funding or have they pulled out?4

@Henry Irving Please add the important question of "When will the fans wi-fi be switcvhed on again!?"Henry Irving said:CheshireAddick said:Is it the wrong time to ask them what their plans are for owning the valley 😉
