The General C. Krulak Thread XIV

[Fuse]

General K

A national redio station broke a story at 1pm today that our manager had quit the club. Surely by now we should have expected an official denial on the website. I know we don't have to respond to all sorts of rumours on the internet but when it is a national radio station I would expect to hear the truth.

Can you englighten us as to what is going on?

General Krulak here:

1.  Let's all settle down a bit.  At the end of the day, Randy's history and his willingness to spend money is a matter of record.  To have him publically announce that he is going to spend "X pounds" during the summer just makes zero sense.  It is far better for other Clubs to suss this out for themselves vice the Owner laying it out for them.  Likewise, why would a Premiership Football Club feel like they needed to provide an "official denial on the website" to a story circulated by the British media.  Think about it, if the Club responded to every story about players, Randy, MON, "me", etc. etc., we would never get a day off.  Stories like this are always going to be out there....MON going to coach the England squad...MON to coach Celtic....MON to coach ManU...we have seen them ALL.  Let's relax.

[Dave Cooper please]

So he's off then?

Only kidding...or am I?

There you go any passing Mirror 'journalist', you've got your exclusive.

General,a question was asked which as far as i am aware has not been answered,ie why are season ticket holders not getting free entry to the FAyouth cup semi final,i would have thought this was the least you could do bearing in mind all the concessions offered to non season ticket holders to entice them into the ground,which i dont have a real problem with by the way,but it would be nice for season ticket holders to get some benefits from time to time,i have been to every round of the youth cup to date home and away,none of our previous home games had an admission charge,dont you think it would be a nice gesture to offer free admission to season ticket holders ?

Chris, you rotton bugger, you! I almost choked on my coffee when I read that...before realizing where you got it from!

Alternatively, wouldnt it be nice for our supporters to be happy to stump up three quid to attend a game ?

There must be a limit to all these freebie/cheap demands at some point surely

Its £3 FFS. THREE QUID!

General,
Sorry if this has been asked before, if so i havent seen it.
There are a lot of out of town supporters who travel to games as and when they can, a large number of these may well be eligible for semi-final tickets. But with only personal callers being allowed to purchase tickets next week due to posting the tickets out, a lot of loyal supporters will have to miss out due to not being able to get to Villa Park in the week.
Is there any way that supporters who cant get to Villa Park, pick up tickets from Wembley on the day, or if not, can this be taken into consideration in future, and maybe go on sale to non-season ticket holders earlier.
I appreciate that however the club do it, someone is always going to miss out.

For what seems like the 3,000th time, can we please:

1. Leave the thread for questions to the General.

2. Not answer questions for him.

If you feel strongly about the above issue, please post your feelings on any other thread you choose, not this one.

[Bungle]

General there is speculation on one of the other threads about the Wilf Bouma situation.  Can you give us an update on how he is getting on please?

I can appreciate your comment about the club not commenting on every press report.  We are used to the player's agents stirring things up with stories about them moving here there and anywhere.  But having said that news of a manager upping sticks is slightly different, in that fortunately it does not happen very often.
