More concerned that almost 40% of the players in the photo are either goalkeepers, youth players who shouldn't be near the squad, or long term injured.

Back in time it was very much the norm..I remeber Derek Robins definitely being in photos and even the whole board maybe 6 people in suits alongside the footballers ... Think it is quite nice really ...but if I was Doug I would have looked a bit fitter/tidier round the waist

The photo is dreadful to be honest, you can clearly see it's been photoshopped. A poor job considering how well the media team have been in the past season or 2.

But does anyone have the names of all of the non playing staff please? Would like to put a name to the face.

If he's going to tie himself in this closely with the football side then he can take his share of responsibility for failures of the football side.

Like where the fuck is our midfielder?

Well if you include the Youth players in the "squad" photo the number of midfielders have increased by 50%

Why because he’s been there longer and most of their fans now want him out?

It's not starting a conspiracy is it you quilt

It's pointing out that it's pretty strange for an owner, who's only been here 18 months is front and centre of a squad photo
Click to expand...
Well he was never going to be on the outside of the photo. If he’s going to be on it as the owner you would expect him to be in the middle.

Very strange that Doug is in it

I'm sure if you were to look through the other 91 clubs in the top 4 tiers you won't find their owner in a squad picture

Doesn't exactly quell the views that he's too involved in the playing side of things does it

I don't like it but I guess it's his toy and he can choose to play with it how he wishes but I would prefer my owner to be far more in the background personally.

If I was in Doug’s position, I’d be tempted to be in the photo. The coaching and other professional staff are in it too. It’s the team in the widest sense of the word I think because it isn’t just the players who get a team promoted anymore is it? I’d have felt differently about Joy Sepalla being in the photo - she always felt like the representative of an anonymous venture capitalist fund owner. And looking at it another way, if Doug puts himself front and centre as owner in this way, he can’t hide away from answering questions, facing a bit of criticism or changing his mind where justified - which to be fair I think he does face up to

A couple of years ago we had owners who showed the club discontent. Now we’ve got an owner who is visually involved in the club. He’s the owner sitting with the club manager. Going to be honest, think this is scrapping the barrel.

A couple of years ago we had a fantastic manager who had assembled a fantastic team that had us a penalty shootout away from the premier league.

We now have an owner who has sold those fantastic players, taken power from that fantastic manager and has assembled an unbalanced mess of a squad.

Spot on.

i see he was moaning that someone had the audacity to ask him to move seats the other week as he was sitting in their seat.

Overson bought a ticket to friendship with the players and unrivalled access to the club. Now a new owner with far deeper pockets and made it clear that Overson’s support is not part of his ownership model and Overson’s wordshippers etc are desperate to find fault ……
