So... people blaming Hasler for bringing over Cleal, etc... but ask yourselves..
WHO SIGNED OFF ON THAT
and more to the point, those that DID sign off on it, would have also sacked Pay/Mullholland/etc.
SO ASK YOURSELVES why did our recruitment go to shit? Because Cleal was at the club. Why was Cleal at the club? Because our BOARD/CEO agreed for him to come over with Hasler.
There's a word out there.. it's only short and our board/ceo would know it..
NO
That is all it would have taken to retain Mullholland and Pay.. too late now though.
This whole rubbish in the media is because our recruitments gone to shit because the board / CEO have failed the club by handing over too much control of staff (and money) to Hasler. They could have said NO, but they didn't.
Now that things haven't worked as well as they'ed hoped, they are trying to save their own arses by making Hasler the fall guy instead of putting their hands up and admitting they have fucked up.
The Foran fuckup is just another fine example of the Board/CEO screwing up something potentially good. It's not the first time it's happened (nor the second or third). The Board and CEO are the reason our lineup is as average as it seems, and why we can't attract players..
Friday, if Hasler is sacked, give it a while, and you'll all come back to my posts in this thread and go "oh fuck, he was right".
