Tim is attempting to show us that he's up to date with all the latest tech ideas, even though it's just trendy bullshit (NFTs)
As for Tim telling us that other club owners were asking him what they should do....i mean...how arrogant is he ?
Does he believe he's some kind of business guru lol

The sudden impromptu emergence of this cretin Tim Fisher after what must be a couple of years a real worry to me, this bloke and his side kick Steve Waggott was the architect of our spiral down to the fourth division and our eventual loss of our ground. We seem to be doing okay with him keeping stun let that continue.

Right,

SISU with Ranson then Ken and Ogwe and the rest made a real hash of things in the early days. We could list the mistakes - they are many.

Fisher was part of the set up but it’s unclear how much of a steer he has / had.

To be fair, he’s taken some flak over the years but seems to have become more level headed as time has gone on. Let’s be fair, not everyone can say that they were brilliant at their new job 12 years (or whatever) ago.

I thought / the the Warwick Uni tie in was a great idea for many of the reasons I’ve stated before. The Loughborough one seems totally sensible, and Fisher (if he is the driver behind the plan) deserves a little credit.

Despite huge mistakes over the years, we are playing in Cov again are in the Championship - with a squad that compete with the best on its day, have a squad with a value which may even equate to the value of the “real” SISU debt (heck we might even be theoretically solvent).

Bottom line, holding a grudge against Fisher for early mistakes isn’t cool.

I can only imagine he is the sort to speak with an accent when abroad to match the country, like Steve McLaren.

Waggott was okay - He didn’t make the decision to move us to Sixfields and he was the one who got us back to The Ricoh the first time

His replacement Chris Anderson however was absolutely useless

Anderson did of course negotiate a deal which kept the club in existence

Indeed. Incredible really that he's had the jobs he's had really given he's not a CEO and isn't capable of being one.

The route of it all was Ranson and his “model”. SISU didn’t understand the Bosman rule. The rest is history

Maddison would have gone regardless of who was running the club on a day to day basis and probably for a similar fee - he was the jewel in the crown of the football club at the time and the club obviously valued him highly

You could argue that Waggott negotiated a deal to keep the football club alive when we sold Callum Wilson to Bournemouth and had a tiny season ticket holder base when we were playing at Sixfields

Plus, I don’t really see what Blackburn have at him to moan at

They've re-established themselves back in the Championship after years of turmoil, received bucketloads of cash through the sale of Adam Armstrong, will probably do so again with Brereton this summer as well

The only thing they could be annoyed at is he was too loyal to Mowbray last season as their play off push tailed off in the second half of the season

Honestly cannot get over his outfits

Is he ok?
Also is there anywhere to listen back to what he had to say?
