JT provided the previous the old CEO with a 42 page appraisal of where we were, what needed to be done and where he wanted to go

The mastermind had already made his mind up that Hages was the next big thing, so a bloke that felt he belonged to the club, with his wife piushing us ion the media was dumped for the ever enthusiastic F3 commuter.

Everyone from the players to the fans wanted him! He had been successful with our juniors and premier league. The only moron who couldn't see his value was the useless f***ing CEO!!!!

No matter what is happening now, I am glad that prick is gone!!!!

The only comments that I have regarding this email is this -

1. Please please... If you were told anything in confidence , please keep this confidence.


MJC spoke to me on the phone last night and wouldn't even tell me the juicy stuff.
He is a man of his word, and that is the very honest truth.

Pazzaeel, mate when I sent the email i wasnt asking for a phone call so i could be told what was going on and i told nolan numerous times throughout the call that I didnt contact the club for me to be told stuff but rather to encourage them to send some more details to the members. I cant be responsible for how they choose to communicate but felt it fair to post what I was comfortable saying.

The all will be revealed was a little dig at Pou, though as I posted, some signing news will be coming out in the next 2 weeks.

so are you saying we could contact the club ask too speak too nolan and get the same answers that you have. if he gave you imformation that is "private confidential" then i see this being A.really un professional and a stupid mistake ... not saying your not a trustworthy bloke but the imformation that you claim to have and wont go into couldn't you then leak it to A. the media or B. another club

so why don't they just tell us is what im getting at i don't know it's late im drunk go the eels on monday

i'm curious too. For all his faults this was at least something that osbourne was good at - keeping an open line of communication with the fans. He participated in fanlink, turned up at pesc meetings to answer questions, sent emails to the members etc. It's time for bob to step up to the plate in this regard.
Like mjc said in a previous post, the club has flattened the executive structure and imo it's at the expense of the fans and much needed experience in running the football side of things. I wonder if this is making things tough for our recruitment endeavors at the moment? Maybe osbourne played a bigger hand in that process than most of us are aware of? To me it's looking like we really need someone experienced in this area. Maybe nolan could do the job if he delegated some of his current duties? Just a thought if they can't find someone else like graham lowe, who i think would be ideal.

wtf is fanlink

It was something I started on nospam46. Fans would ask questions on the site and the most popular ones would be emailed to the club. Osbourne would then post answers at his discretion. I only set it up, counted the votes and emailed it off.
I guess the club has replicated this to a degree with the Facebook questions but it still leaves an open line of communication with regards to questions directed towards our admin and board lacking unless you ask them in person yourself, which not everyone can do.
Bob Bentley has agreed to continue on with the concept and I would gladly facilitate it on LU if there is interest and those in charge of the site could help me to organise a way to make it work. I think it's important to have a way that we as fans and members can have our questions, ideas, thoughts and concerns heard and responded to.

Good work Tony. I fully support you with this fanlink. It should not be hard to set up a sticky at the top thread for this fanlink to unfold and a PM system for fans to send you their thoughts/views/opinions etc. You then post the questions in the thread for management to reply to. Full Transparency is a very good thing.

Yeah this is the bit thats weird

If they speak "condifentially" to a number of people like MJC (who in reality they really have no idea if they can trust or not), Are they actually hoping something does leak out??? :eek:
