Old Board vs New Board

[Guest alex]

Well the fact the manager's saying it, especially here, makes it so, doesn't it?

Really interested to see you take on the new manager Leazes;

He talks about "having a big club mentality and holding onto our best players", so instantly thought of you and this thread. I know your issue has always been the boards willingness to back the manager, but in the brief interviews I've seen he doesn't appear to be the type of guy to toe the party line.

 

 

Given our current board, we need a manager who will push the spotlight onto the board to twist their arm into making signings and retaining players.

 

 

The HBA signing took a very long time, I wonder how it would have played out under Pardew?

 

 

Really? Honestly? You honestly can't predict his response?

 

Some people.
