80 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Is she dragging Howe into the firing line there, or am I having some kind of stroke? First time I've been properly unimpressed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I've been properly unimpressed. don't think it's Howe she is addressing that too. It is to the media and the fans who are complaining (and tend to complain about everything) Edited May 27 by Jack27 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe was publicly generally supportive of it, wasn't he? You knew he wasn't pleased about it but I think he generally toed the line? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 It's mad that people are kicking off about it, it's so obvious the reason we are doing it In an ideal world no one wants it but FFP/PSR means we have to make such difficult decisions Any criticism should be aimed at those that implemented and enforce FFP/PSR rather than the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You knew he wasn't pleased about it but I think he generally toed the line? Yes, certainly. But there's a line in stating she merely backed someone else's decision - "wasn't me, guv". "The decision to go was taken by management, and ultimately I have to support their decisions.....we are doing everything we can to support our manager." Forgive my cynicism but I think that's legalese in the sense that Eales and co. are management, but most ordinary people would interpret it as being "the manager" Eddie Howe. Using his popularity to de-energise a stinking PR situation. Edited May 27 by 80 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No she isn’t. By management I’m thinking she means the collective. There’s no way we do this trip without the spectre of FFP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think how the last match was handled was rotten. I'd be looking for ways to make it up to the fans who attended e.g. free merchandise or whatever. Given we'd taken the stick of going out there already, ideally some kind of uber-meet and greet could've been arranged with players who didn't actually play. I haven't got too much of an issue with the trip, I just think she should be braver in truly shouldering responsibility for it - in the very justifiable context of FFP, as you say.

midds Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I thought everyone realised as soon as it was announced what it actually was? End of season trip to bank as much money as possible with the actual games themselves being utterly meaningless? People are genuinely upset about this?

I haven't seen THAT many of them - maybe I've missed some - but yeah they're very keen to defend themselves, the project and the club whenever anything kicks off. I think back to the double statement on the Saudi headdresses back at the start - keen to upset no one. Can't really fault them on being proactive, generally.
