It doesn't, but if Staveley sells the club like she sold her dream then it may well have a bearing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagCA Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I think a Chairman and CEO is going to be the next important appointment. A PIF Chairman who runs the club day-to-day so we’re not waiting for decisions will be key moving forward. A savvy CEO who runs the non-football side of the business to grow it commercially over the next few years, yes please. So simple yet Mike Ashley had us in the Stone Age of non-playing staff hierarchies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Towards the end of the book Mans Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl he talks about many of those who came out of the concentration camps, actually had to relearn how to feel. They had become so subdued and had buried all feeling to survive in there, that upon being free again life’s pleasures like flowers and sunshine and warm food etc didn’t really mean anything in the early days, as they had become so disillusioned and disenfranchised it felt like this good stuff was not even reality. It obviously sounds strange to a non NUFC fan but all of this talk of proper structures, proper footballing directors, and attacking managers and commercial revenue and actually trying to win games let alone being able to buy and not just loan players, feels a little bit like that at the moment. This is obviously normality for most but Mike Ashley really did bludgeon and batter and bruise the very life out of this club, to a faint barely surviving pulse. For a club literally famous for their passion and purpose and for whom football is everything, what he did can actually be likened to torture and many still be feeling the effects of trauma for a while. That’s also why other fans and the media criticisms seem particularly harsh and hard to bear right now I guess, as having survived long enough to tell the tale, as victims the last thing we want is to be gaslit, to minimise the trauma suffered and told that the victims are actually the oppressors.
