You are probably right...I just think that Heck is like Ellis. He doesn't give a fuck about the fans unless it is affecting the profit numbers for his CV.To be fair his job is to only give a fuck about the profit numbers, that's what he's employed to improve.

Of course that's of paramount importance, but if he's going to stick his beak into everything, be nice if he got something right.I know there's more too it but if we see 10% growth in income in the next year no one at the club will think he's failed, regardless of how annoyed fans are with him.

QuoteI know there's more too it but if we see 10% growth in income in the next year no one at the club will think he's failed, regardless of how annoyed fans are with him.The bold bit is important, those things matter to you, to the club they're within his remit to make decisions on and were part of a massive uplift in turnover (in this hypothetical scenario).
I know there's more too it but if we see 10% growth in income in the next year no one at the club will think he's failed, regardless of how annoyed fans are with him.
To be fair, we can't really say the North Stand re-think is a fuck-up yet, because we don't know what they're actually going to do instead.We all want the club to do well and win things again, but that also means lots about the club is going to change to make that happen and as a consequence of that.
In a world of instant news and information, people want (and many think they have a right) to know everything right here and now. It's like the crest and the North Stand. What in the past would have been no time at all now feels like a lifetime.We debate things constantly here and try to fill that perceived void with our own thoughts and ideas and then blame the club for not thinking and acting as quickly as us.
They use the Lerner crest on MOTD etc because the club directed that the round badge was only for the kits
Paul is right. He's here to make more money for the club and he's doing it in numbers the club hasn't done before.We're in a ludicrous position of challenging for the title, with the richest non-state backed owners, yet we can't chuck millions at the tilt because we are capped by our piddling income. Heck will and is fixing that.
