    I take it you want him sacking already alongside your previous long list. What could he say now outside a transfer window that would satisfy the critics. I thought Rhodes was a disgrace refusing to talk to his customers Sparks does the opposite but is still slagged off.

    Exactly. At least he’s prepared to speak unlike our former CEO and our owner. Both of whom seem to like to hide under a rock and just hope everything turns out ok.

    I have certainly never known a CEO in any business be so averse to speaking publicly as J.R was in all his years at the club. Hardly confidence inspiring to his customer base.

    Unless we are playing a injury depleted Shipley Juniors under 9’s then I’ll be fully expecting another defeat today.

    The one thing he does need to do is totally separate himself from any bcfc related social media activity. Its not appropriate for a CEO to be spreading messages by social media. He should have "people" for that.

    Rhodes hasn't got the balls to speak in public or admit he gave the worst manager in our history a contract extension. Take out Richmond and Lawn, when he had no direct influence, and Rhodes entire time at the club is a disaster. He makes Gerald Ratner look like Bill Gates.

    Why has he dug himself in a hole? he has removed the headache of recruiting a new manager.

    McCall will not be sacked by the present regime, he will though almost certainly walk away when it all goes wrong. The problem is what state will the club be in when he does decide to go. Could be too late if where in a hopeless position when it happens.

    For someone with a background and expertise in communications, he's gone very quiet

    He talks a good speech but his actions speak volumes that he is the wrong man for the job, His action in giving McCall an extended contract knowing his record is dismal at best will follow him round and haunt him while he is here, The fans will never forget or forgive it if as likely it goes wrong,

    I far from agree that this is a good appointment but let's not go OTT, he's hardly gone very quiet has he? He did a very long Radio Leeds interview only last week. Are you expecting a snippet every day from him?

    He could answer fans concerns or keep updates from the club on his Twitter but nothing since he posted about the rugby league grand final.

    It might not be your cup of tea of keeping in touch with the fans but it would show some involvement with the fan base in these depressing times.

    Not sure I agree. What else can he say at this stage? He gave that interview last week and nothings really changed on the pitch. He said they’d arrest the slide in January and McCall mentioned talk of them sitting down to sort that out this week?
    I don’t get a programme but sure someone on here does, he will have done some notes in there maybe for the home games this week?

    We need communication I agree but so far he’s done more than Rhodes did in 18 months or so.
    He’s backed McCall by giving him the extension and said he will sort his targets out for January too. I don’t agree with that decision but that’s where we are and I imagine he doesn’t really have much else to say at this stage

    Summary of last night's programme notes from Ryan:
    • Disapponted to exit FA Cup, loss of Zeli impacted game plan
    • December important month for City (fixture wise)
    • Stuart is fully confident that he and the players can put a stop to poor form
    • "It is clear we require some cavalry and a great deal of work over the coming weeks will be centred around ensuring we are in the best-possible place to deliver additions to the squad"
    • A successful January has the potential to take pressure off the players
    • Loss of Reece Staunton, for potentially the bulk of the season, is undoubtedly a setback
    • Saturday was devastating for Zeli
    • I understand and share the frustrations that the season has brought so far, but we need to look forwards
    • Need to improve results and consistency
    • Your support has never been more important
    • Cheer us on as much as you can from your homes & hopefully back at Valley Parade soon.
    • "Enjoy the match"

    He must have done his CEO training course at the School of stating the bleeding obvious.Got to back up the empty words about disappointment this and being prepared that with some serious action in the coming months.Then we can start to believe the 3 of them can get us out of this self inflicted mess and not until.

    I wonder if Ryan has found the compromising photos Stuart has of him yet ?
