Looking into everything BAR the low wages we pay and the state of our recruitment!
This bodes well.

That's because I was there aiming skittles at Kolo Muani.
Really united everyone.
I am very surprised they did not previously employ a sports psychologist, that is an abject failure if true!
I think we'd need to hire John Edward to speak to her.
People did want Glenn back in at one point, so perhaps it's easier to do what both would do and blame the season on disabled people or something
We had a guy for 2 years whose only ability seemed to apparently be "motivational speaker", so I guess we didn't need one
Yeah much smaller clubs have had psychs for years. Weird oversight if we've not had one.
If I trusted these people at all I would be enthused by the review of the pitch.
Quite a good discussion and everyone gets the blame. Fans calling in know that statement is all bollocks. Jordan obviously with an axe to grind but not too much. He doesn’t like Vinai that’s for sure. Petit asks him what he’d do, he struggles there which is amusing as he’s lost. But Jordan is right that we are still for sale but probably not at the inflated price ENIC want.

What like, bowling ball skittles? Outstanding effort.
Yeah whatever the club says we're always technically for sale. The issue is Levy always priced us out of the market or wanted to be kept in situ as chairman.
Think a sale is much more likely now he's gone, but ENIC will want to sell from a position of strength and I think we're likely a few seasons away from that.
Don't think we'll see the back of them for a while, although I reckon in all likelihood ENIC are gone within 5-10 years. And maybe a little sooner if the stars align.
The wages issue isn't scrutinised anywhere near enough.Looking into everything BAR the low wages we pay and the state of our recruitment!
This bodes well.
We pay a lower proportion of revenue on player salaries than any club in England's top four divisions. 92nd out of 92 clubs.
So WHERE is the fucking money going?
Add to the mix that Levy made himself the highest paid football CEO in England, 1st out of 92, and the whole thing fucking stinks to high heaven

Haven't they paid out £200k a week to Gallagher, Xavi is on a high wage and Romero was re-singed on a higher wage as well, it's definitely being addressed.
Pretty sure they put this out there as well in a PR piece.
Which is why the pressure now needs to be kept up on them from this point onwards. There's an argument to say we dont want the lingering negativity at the start of next season and that it should be a clean slate and thats what they will be hoping for with this statement. There's a bigger picture though and we shouldn't let their false promises deceive us in my opinion. Those banners should be out at either end of the stadium every game next year and there should be a concerted effort to make things as difficult as possible for the ownership and their cronies while still supporting the team on the pitch.
The club feeding the internal review stuff to Ali Gold is straight out of Cullen's playbook.
Loads of words, act like we're doing something and that we care despite 25 years of not helping the club.
It's as transparent as it can get. Thankfully there's very few fans or media left that actually back then regardless of whether they are calling themselves ENIC or Lewis family.

That's what I thought but that might be including all bonuses because on this website it says £160.000 excluding bonuses.
Gross P/W
£ 160,000(Fixed)
£ 40,000 (Bonus)
£ 200,000 per week
The wage thing is an argument for finishing 4th/5th repeatedly - anyone wheeling it out for why we finished where we did this season is just agenda'ing.
It's a positive sign. But it remains to be seen if it's the start of a new approach or wether old habits continue to hold the club back.
Either way, if we've been an outlier paying less of our revenue on players than every other club, the question of where that excess money has gone should still be explained.
The argument is that if we were prioritising the football team we wouldn't be spending a lower proportion of our revenue on it than every other football club.
Anybody attempting to justify it most definitely does have an agenda
