It was ironic to note that several of the less salubrious of characters on this site started questioning the motives of the man just after the 'brent honeymoon' came to a shuddering halt. Suddenly there was a hidden agenda, why would a man who has no interest in football buy a football club?
Yes he probably did see it as an investment opportunity, but like me and many others argyle grows on you and it becomes addictive, even in the god awful times.
I think we should trust the judgement of this man, he has not set us wrong yet and the club has progressed amazingly so since the dark days. People talk about potential owners to come, Simon Hallett seems a pretty decent person and astute businessman, I would say Brent did well there. The future is always a lottery, but I would say we have a pretty good hand with James Brent in charge. The man is highly rated in the business world, let him get on with it.
Btw, I heard that it was the aft not turning up at meetings with Brent not that he wouldn't meet with them. Could we have some clarification on that from the higher echelons of the aft?
How on earth is six seasons of League Two football "the club progressing amazingly"?
Has Pompey progressed amazingly too, with their successive seasons of failure to get promoted, and successive seasons of avoiding the wrath of HMRC. Interesting that what they consider outright failure, we consider 'amazing progression'.
Also the contracts fiasco of last season has cost us severely. We are mid table at best with this season's squad and that will likely take some time to repair.
I hope our friend that likes to screenshot posts like this is on the ball tonight because I'll take a wager on mid table at best. :thumbup:
I will be very surprised if we make the playoffs. I would dearly love to be proved wrong but I don't think we have recruited a promotion chasing pack in the summer additions.
From an indifferent start we have kicked in which is encouraging. Seem to have a bit of fight about us which is also good. Sorry to go off topic. :scarf:
