Stumpy1949 Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Geoff Brown was good in construction but did that qualify him to run a football club.

It's how the club manages fan relations, merchandising, ticketing as well as results on the pitch that need to be evaluated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're an established top flight club, the 2nd most successful in the country in the past decade, with a turnover of £8m, and we're being run by someone whos football experience seems limited to lower league first team management. Although is Gus MacPherson still at the club? Sure hes meant to run the football side and Flaherty the other side? Kyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest Saints Fan Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 Mcpherson still here. He was sitting behind me at the County game a few weeks ago. Two Cups 2021 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooj Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 I know that there is plenty wrong with this whole episode and (over a longer period of time) Saints' inadequacies in fan engagement, but I do think we should give Flaherty credit for phoning fans individually. I dont think many people would do that - he must know that he isn't going to persuade anyone to change their mind, but I think it shows some integrity to actually pick up the phone and have that conversation directly.

I dont think many people would do that - he must know that he isn't going to persuade anyone to change their mind, but I think it shows some integrity to actually pick up the phone and have that conversation directly. The cynic in me wonders if the phone call approach is to avoid having any of his words in writing which fans would inevitably share on social media and on sites like this one (as we've seen happen this week). That aside, I do agree with you to an extent and the individual phonecalls and emails can be a nice touch if done well, but in a situation like this one there really needs to be communication with the fanbase as a whole. It actually beggars belief that the club's approach to this situation appears to be to say absolutely nothing about it publicly. I don't know if that's a Flaherty decision or a Guidi decision or a Brown decision but I do think it's a very bad decision. Is this the first Saints home fan boycott in history? That's a pretty big deal, and the club needs to be taking that seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
