    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?

    I don't understand this at all, he literally did a 40 minute interview with radio leeds outlining his plans and the main focus was having a good transfer window in January. Do you want the CEO to come out after every loss and apologise on twitter?

    If he even told me about the new seating or the new dug outs I would be much happier with the communication coming from the club,he could even pick his own softball questions to answer ;)

    I know he will get abuse but if he wants to put himself out there that comes with the territory when the club is our position/results.

    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

    Did I say he has to apologise ? He wanted to keep the fans more updated with club from what I got from his interview and since the interview-Nothing.

    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"

    As I said his interview was only last week, what do you think he could update us on in less than 7 days since his interview? Do you expect daily updates?

    Ah the good old hot air of "we'll be prepared" for a transfer window. Does Ryan fancy sharing what exactly he has put in place (or plans to) to make sure that this window doesn't go the way of the last 7? Because empty promises don't wash anymore.

    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.

    Look, he's busy at the moment making sure than when Bradford goes into Tier Two on 16th December that only card carrying, fully paid up members of "The Stuart McCall Fan Club" are allowed back into the Stadium so as to minimise the level of vitriol aimed and him.

    Ryan is doing skype calls with fans. He is asking them to show their abilities as happy clappers so they can be put up the pecking order for tickets for return to games.

    Part of the call is word association, so for example Ryan says Guthrie and if the fan says clinical or powerhouse they are given a star. Where as if they say donkey or stealing a living the receive a cross. Those with the most stars will be given first access to games.

    Another word association was 18 months, with some fans saying stability for bonus stars.

    Charlie has no chance then. His response to anything is totally indecipherable
