No Direction. No Heart. No Soul.

What will our owner say about the clubs situation and performance today?

What he always says, FUCK ALL.

What will our Chairman and club leader say today?

Probably FUCK ALL.

And you lot want to know what the problem is?

Its a complete lack of direction and guidance from the top, and till it changes things are just gonna go from bad to worse.

You have to go a long way back to our days in Div 4 to equal the dire running of the club like we are currently experiencing.

Trevor, you have bought the fucking club, tell us DIRECTLY as fans what you propose to do with it, and get that clown Lindsay out before he does any more damage.

You need someone with knowledge, drive and ability to start planning now for next season and on damage limitation for this season.

WHAT A FUCKING SHAMBLES !!!

What the hell has Maurice got to do with it? Its just another side swipe at him for absolutely no valid reason whatsoever. The club has been hanging by a thread in this division since Billy left, despite your claims of a play off place with AI. That was a fluke that we went into with the usual attitude of "no money" "be grateful for what we have etc....".

As do I

 

[NOBBY STILES]

Its is back to the dark old days ....when Hemmings was himself on the board if you ask me the guy is cursed!!
do us all a favour and sell up for a pound !

 

[Littlelamb]

and another, come on Trev, time is ticking

Regardless of ML Joan, Trev owns the club, and we are going backwards what the fuck is he thinking about?

Use your brains for once Joan.

Its about the HERE AND NOW`

Its not about history, its in the past, its gone.

We need to know what is going on NOW ! Have you got it, NOW, THE PRESENT, TODAY, CURRENTLY, THE FUTURE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop harking on about who did what in the past.

We are where we are, and its a bloody disgrace AND GETTING WORSE !

 

[europne]

And just to clarify Joan, `Maurice` is a complete waste of space who could`nt organize a piss up in a brewery.

He`s a good bullshitter, and people like you fall for it, not surprising.

In terms of actually achieving anything, he wont, just a yes man.

 

[Cruyff]

Derek Shaw was a football man but ultimately turned out to be incompetent towards his latter years. Maurice Lindsay on the other hand seems to be more business savy but clearly has the welfare of Preston North End secondary on his list of priorites, to reigning in Trevor Hemmings' losses. Which some may argue is fair enough as the man has loaned a lot of money to the club in the past.

When Hemmings took over and then Lindsay was appointed, it was never hidden that we would have to be conservative and "bring costs into line" but the nature in which that has been chased has been nothing short of suicidal. The sheer turnover of players has never allowed a proper morale or understanding in the squad to be built and hanging onto Darren Ferguson meant a new manager would find his task almost impossible from day one. Especially when the January transfer window saw some of the worst business in the club's history.

There was no sign of anything like the three million Alan Irvine was handed in his first transfer window. Perhaps it was a case of once bitten twice as shy, or maybe the Hemmings/Lindsay remit is now simply stop the hemorrhaging.

Instead we find once more that, having for some ridiculous reason, sold the top scorer but then not the right back when £500,000 was on the table, who will now walk for nothing in 3 months, having to rely on a team of loans players. Ironically these loan players are now probably pushing the wage budget back up to square one, having spent all year trying to cut it. Unfortunately it seems the success at Blackpool last season with such a low budget and number of loan players has seen the management here think it can be copied with ease, when in reality most successful sides are built on using a club's own, rather than borrowed players.

Whether the talk of "three years to the Premiership" was a PR line from day one or meant as a genuine hope, we'll never probably know. But I for one am deeply suspicious of the way things have been handled over the past twelve months and wonder if perhaps we have all been hoodwinked into watching Trevor Hemmings buy the club for pennies and simply stemming the losses without any interest in what that means for what happens out on the pitch.

Suspicion is all we can have because until the man comes out and tells us what his plan is we are mushrooms (in the dark and fed shit), a statement is needed otherwise our last home game will be in front of about 20 fans a dog and a floating empty bag of crisps!

 

[york white]

Stop worrying, it's been a shit season. It is a relief in some ways we are finally gone. We were fucked from day one and you can't chase your tail in this division with no resources. Nit of gallows humour now for the rest of the year and lets come back fighting next season.
Although, the final insult may still be around the corner when we sign Fabian Brandy on Monday...

Rovers have been bought by an Indian company and their fans get far more feedback than we do from an owner who lives just down the road.

Why the secrecy Trevor?

It may be just another business but this is football and it does`nt work like that.

About time PNE fans stopped acting like wimps and doffing their caps ( thanks for saving our club Mr Hemmings) and started demanding some fucking answers.

ITS A FUCKING SHAMBLES !

No they dont, they really dont. They get fed bullshit like were trying to sign ronaldinnho. They know little else about the venkys plans, in fact they only came to their first game on Tuesday.

I fall for nothing, but I believe in giving people a fair chance. A yes man you say, if that is the case, he has only replaced another yes man so what is the difference?

I just popped on from Bristol to see the reaction from a club we hold in very high regard down here and this post reeks of disrespect, which I thought you boys wouldn't do.
Is losing to us such a kick in the teeth?
I know you have big political problems at your club but there was another side trying to win today FFS, a side that (like you) are trying to survive.
Give us a bit of credit will you?

No it doesn't reek of disrespect. Now just pop off again will you.

 

[cideriup]

No I won't!
Joey PNE on FF's states that you battered us but that he left after 65 minutes! Typical of him, I must say.
I will always show your club respect but to say losing to us is so bad is plain wrong! We aren't that bad as we showed today. No respect for my club as I / we always show to yours?

A nail just got hit on the head there. Hemmings may have lent us a lot but he knows next to nothing about running a football club.
