An Evening with Derek - Tuesday 11th

With his current record there is no way Sparks gets CEO of a championship club with sights on the premier league

 

Not sure at the present time Posh are looking to get into the Premier more all hands to the pump to stop their relegation back to League One, but you're right taking Ryan on as CEO with his lack of experiance would be a risk I'd doubt Darragh MacAnthony would take.

 

City can hold all the supporters forums they like.Ive attended many over the years but in all honesty nothing changes and they are to a degree somewhat staged of that I'm sure.
To those attending don't expect any new revolutions more of the same old same being rolled out.
Action speaks louder than words. I'm still waiting after the usual pre season hype for the management team to deliver a team of winners.

 

I agree they will look to stay in that league first but Macanthony is an ambitious man. They are aiming high. Will take time of course

 

Do you think they can sustain PL footy? Their attendances are very low (not helped by location near so many big London clubs) and I’m not sure their recruitment model will work at the top level. I always thought Championship would be as high as they could go. McAnthony is a good chairman though, so suppose you never know.

 

Very difficult now for any team to sustain PL footy who is not one of the sort of settled sides in that league outside of the top 6.
I mean it’s been done but even so if they go up they will probably take th riches that comes and reinvest it. They won’t need to sell players as much when that stage comes. That’s going to be the ultimate aim I’d imagine. They already have a stadium on the way.

 

Bournemouth sustained it, as have Fulham. Both have reasonably low attendances that Posh could probably match if they ever get to the top flight.

 

True, but I think McAnthony will need to be prepared to inject quite a bit/make a loss to get them there. The Russian at Bournemouth must have put in quite a lot whereas Fulham have floated up and down and had parachute payments to help fund promotions.

Posh are only getting crowds of 5-12k ish so are a bit of a Rotherham in that respect. They have a superb scouting system and have used that to fund new recruits, but they’re gonna need heavy investment to consolidate in the Champ, even before kicking on for promotion.

They’re getting spanked in the Champ - Derby are pushing them up to 22nd but -24 GD and they’re struggling to bridge the bridge in quality, like Rotherham every other year it seems!

Maybe Posh are more ambitious than Rotherham, though, and will bankroll a silly spending spree…..

 

Just be prepared for total bollox from twitter boy

 

I’m suprised it’s not being streamed. I’m presuming it’s a free event and they aren’t charging people to attend. If I recall, the last one was live on the clubs YouTube channel. Any news if it will be this time?

 

No its not a free event, very little free know Ryan has he butt in the CEO seat, £2 + £1 online fee, I cant ever remember a forum in the past that you had to pay, one when James Mason was there was limited but no charge.

 

CEO of Peterborough? He has done nothing of note to have championship clubs looking in our direction. You could argue getting Adams in was good business - but money talks so who knows what package Adams was offered.

 

For 1€ it seems?

Quire unbelievable really. Cos if no fans turn up, hoe they gonna run it?

 

Boycott it. Let twitter boy stand there wondering where everyone is.

 

Wouldn't that let him off the hook? Hes hiding because the going got tough, hes probably shitting himself that it turns ugly and hes sat there. He'd love it if nobody turned up or just a bunch of bantamsfamily/park bantam types did.

 

Question: Will there be more new recruits arriving this January?

PR Answer: Look, we're doing our absolute utmost to identify and sign players, but it's very difficult in mid-season because club's are reluctant to let their best players leave. Stefan's working very hard behind the scenes to get the club climbing the league.

Reality: We're fishing deep in the sh*t pool because we're absolutely potless. It's difficult signing anyone when you're offering a Domino's pizza and a tank full of petrol as in incentive. Add the fact that the player will know that he'll be signing for the dourest manager in the lower leagues, he'll be running further than Mo Farah in training every day and the style of football is woeful. As you can see it's a very difficult task indeed.

I think the only chance of some entertainment could be Adams throwing another player under the bus. Those attending should start a sweepstake on who it could be to add a bit of spice to the occasion. Or Tuesday could be the day that Derek turns on the supporters, I don't think that day's very far off now.

 

I don't know, the evening is set to be hosted by club pitch announcer and esteemed broadcaster Darren Harper, and get underway from 7.30pm, do we have the capability to stream the event.

 

Esteemed at what
