Fans Parliament

For those interested in the fans parliament, here are the minutes from the latest meeting, posted 18.03.18. I have had to spread it over several comments due to the number of words being outside that permitted for this forum.
Summary
The club is fiercely ambitious and the future so bright, with FOSUN thinking big, but being humble (this was a word used on at least one occasion) enough to know that there is a huge effort needed to get over the line in the short term. As Laurie Dalrymple concluded quite poignantly:
“We see the remaining period of time as the most defining as to where we want to go as a club. Keep the faith, drive the team forward and really, really get behind the team. We have five more home games and they will ultimately define us. We want to thank the fans for helping us to get to the position we are in. They will play a massive, massive role in these last five home games."
In the long term, a stadium redevelopment would begin in May 2019, with the South Bank actually more likely to be demolished first, as this would have less of an impact on attendances inside the ground while work is taking place. Clearly this means there would be no move from Molineux either, as it remains a ‘hugely intrinsic part of the fabric and tapestry of the club.’
In the short term, the temporary Graham Hughes stand would be reopened for next season in all likelihood, with Laurie adding: ‘If we continue as we are then yes, we are actively looking at reopening this.’
In terms of players, Kevin Thelwell confirmed that we have an exclusive option to buy all loan players, but we need to get to the Premier League first. Jeff Shi was very quiet but it was noticeable when he did speak – namely when Kevin Thelwell was answering questions about British players and a supporter referencing the standard in the England squad. Basically, Jeff didn’t give a toss about the national squad, stating: ‘As a club we try to compete in the league. If we have English players then it is a plus, but the price, value and quality of player is most important. If you look around the world there will be more choice and better players so you have to look around the world to find better players.’ Have that!
We basically have nothing to worry about from a financial fair play perspective and Laurie did allude to us getting promoted this year or next, suggesting that we will be ahead of track were we to do it this season. Early birds will be announced when the club knows what league it will be in.
In short, it really will be lift-off for the club if we do make the Promised Land, but with Thelwell quoting Fulham as looking ‘unbeatable’ right now, all eyes can only be on these remaining nine games in the short term. The final furlong is in sight and all we can think about is this task in hand.
