I think there's a lot of people who sit there saying "I told you so" and "I could do a better job" all whilst using their incredible gift of hindsight.

A lot of keyboard know it alls who like to comment after the situation.

It's cute when Ron's out looking for friends.

Counterpoint, the email presented at the start of this thread seems clear enough, but as I said, many folk have jumped to conclusions.

The club have also released a statement to futher clarify the situation, but that still doesn't satisfy the conspiracy theorists and the haters.

There are plenty of things that need addressing/improving at the club. But equally if there are things wrong, then there also have to be things that are right.

To be fair Peter's statement doesnt actually claify anything.

Except to say "nowt to do with us."

The football club should be doing everything possible to support CET on this.

As someone else has said the Development staff wear PNE badges.. so this reflects badly on the club.

The fact that Peter felt the need to mention "its not a cost cutting decision" tells its only story.

Exactly, plus any club run by competent people would probably have released a statement in conjunction with them knowing what the fan’s reaction would be with every decision the club makes at the moment.
Everything at the moment is reactive, they make a decision and left the uproar go on for days then release a statement on it that does them no favours either and in the main just makes the situation worse

For clarification, this poster is my son and we've fallen out so he's ostracized me and cut me off from contact, igorned me on here and deleted me on grinder. This man is a berk and I highly recommend calling him a berk.

I'm not sure if your reply to Thracia is a bit tongue in cheek or serious. I rather appreciate most of both your posts on here, even if some are occasionally rather acerbic or cutting, though often illuminating. Fractured family relationships are a shame and testing. I hope you can repair whatever is setting you apart.

Illuminating is all's I'm hearing. Sounds accurate 🤪. Seriously tho, the post was a joke. He's a raging bull is thericia. I think he wants to beat me up because I joke a lot and he's Mr serious but I don't mind him too much because his posts are valuable to the forum if I'm being honest and my posts are more of a replaceable laugh.. that last part is debatable... What I will say tho is that a few on here including thericia seem to gain sustenance from pne doing shite. I come on here after a win and it's like we've lost 8-0 so I'd rather not join in with the nihilistic debates, I'd rather be the class room joker 🌚❤️

He's a tedious timewaster who fills the forum with drivel, so I have to put him on Ignore to make the threads readable. Rarely posts on-topic and apparently wants to be a "class room joker", despite never posting anything remotely funny even when spamming the place.
 
I'm so fucking bored of Peter Ridsdale. The fact he's still here means I'm starting to turn on the owners too. Anybody who puts £10m in a year to cover a football clubs arse should be praised from high heaven, yet there's a large proportion of the fan base who want them gone. How can they not see the woods for the trees?

The whole thing can get fucked for me. Feel zero connection with the club currently. Amazing, considering I bought a season ticket for the first time in a decade less than 12 months ago.

Club is a drain on positivity.

Same. I put my money in to play my part in the "frenzied activity" we were going to have. The club don't get money from the merch or catering so I wanted it to go straight in to the kitty towards the Summer transfers knowing full well I'd only get to maybe 6 or 8 games...

I see is owners pumping a massive amount of money in which should be used far better, and a team doing the best with what they can but it all seems to fall down with that one man who has carved an untouchable niche for himself, outsourcing anything that might require him to do any actual work. The club have missed a MASSIVE opportunity to progress this season, and I feel we're now going to drop down in another 10year cycle where try to avoid relegation on loans and journeyman frees, fail, and get stuck being a biggish club in League 1 with loans, frees and a lot more youth players because of the lower level.

Thing is though, League 1 is far better now than when we could lump it up to Kevin Davies every week.

Always said that after over 50+ years as a North End supporter, if they drop into league one that’s it for me.
 
And when I say we missed an opportunity to progress, I don't actually mean promotion. I mean more fans, better matchday atmosphere, generating new income streams, bigger platform to build on and attract better players for less money etc. Making progress as a club.
