You say the last 5 years have been excellent but we spent 3 seasons in leagues the club hadn’t sunk to in nearly 60 years - it historical terms it hasn’t been excellent

With the amount of people you’ve already cryptically told to watch this space, I doubt we’re at risk of any asteroid strike

Last 5 years have deen excellent despite how the club has been run, not because of it

Course but from where we were you can’t just jump from league 2 to the premiership

Thing is, it's inevitable when management changes some don't like it as much - happens with players too doesn't it.

In itself that's not an issue, it's how the new strategy and the replacements pan out, and we won't see how that works for a while.

IF Gimoc is correct and some of the hierarchy (namely Boddy) are going to be moving on then surely that is a good thing. Surely no one can think he is a top championship CEO. We need a proper director of football brought in to work closely with King and Robins

I said the last 5 years the club has turned round
Grendel said no it’s not we were at a historically low base
I said you can’t just jump from league 2 to the premier league
He said Luton have
Well they did in 5 years
To say no one can take credit for the last 5 years is stupid
To not recognise the success is stupid
To hope for better is understandable

I don't really see why this is being made out as some shocking revelation.

It's quite clear Boddy would be moved on as a new owner came in. Fundamentally he's SISU's man, not DK's. The same will likely apply to Tynan also.

I think I said as much back in February that this was an inevitablility.

If king had any football knowledge then maybe I’d agree
If you don’t you have to listen or you make huge fuck ups
Hence the initial season tickets and the corporates who he’s pissed off as well as others around the club
Grendel and shmmee are right off the pitch we’ve been slow to take advantage but we’ve grown so quick and to say no credit is just the sort of bollox that means king gets songs and credit for doing literally nothing

robins and adi new contract ls excellent though
Trying to maximise revenue also excellent

but there’s ways to do it

He's still down as head of recruitment on CCFC website but that could be wrong. Jamie Johnson is head of scouting.

Nonsense. He needs to get in a proper football man to work with him, that's my point. Boddy did a good job in the lower leagues but he's completely out of his depth. With King being more hands on than the last regime and Boddy having no experience of this level of football, him in that role is pointless
