People who make a fortune in business are rarely kind to their staff. They are units. I don't know how it can be prevented but the likes of Radcliffe and the Glazers shouldn't take allowed to own football clubs.

You supported the takeover of chemical Jim ahead of the Qataris no?


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes I did, but was wrong. I didn't know anything about him, but knew he was a football fan, and owned Nice.
On that basis I thought he must be better than the Glazers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is why I have respect for you 52. At least you accept you were wrong.

At the time, even if you took the Qataris out of the picture, there was nothing I read about chemical Jim that filled me with excitement!

Anyone stating now having seen what we are seeing would rather this fella in cuckoo land.

If you think this is bad, I say to you brace yourselves Jim and Glazers are about to take us to the sunken place.

Leave us alone you monster

The culture within the playing and support staff must be at an all time low just now. That is understandable given performances on the pitch, the large number of redundancies that are taking place, and the senior leadership that Jim is spearheading.

That said, these are the players and staff that, collectively, have been part of decade long period of chronic underperformance and mismanagement.

I think many of us have been calling for big changes within the club. However, sneaking into the CL and Europa league each year has actually postponed a number of big changes that are required, as it gives the illusion that we are on a path of being 'nearly' back.

The defeat Spurs, while painful, may actually be a blessing in disguise. It gives the club an opportunity to conduct a ruthless approach to cutting a bloated workforce, operating costs, but more importantly cutting/selling a bloated playing staff and wage bill (and easing our immediate recruitment outstanding player recruiting debt), as we only have domestic games next season. We can then gradually build with new players and staff and hopefully rebuild a high performance and positive workplace culture.

I have no idea if Jim will succeed, but this I hope is the lowest point under his tenure, and things will start to improve.
