This is a very realistic and sensible post, but i would say that as a business, FFC is heavily customer/public facing and this kind of uncertainty is optically pretty poor on that front. They may know there is no need for urgency due to behind closed doors knowledge, but they must also know that their 'customers' are getting increasingly restless with the situation so would surely be better off 'leaking' information that suggests, at the very least, that its all under control -- SW6.doc

In reply to: The Man With No Name 's message, "There's any number of perhaps possibilities all reasonably plausible unless coming from Mickey. Marco said at the weekend that they were talking and mentioned technical staff as one topic. Those talks don't have to be confrontational with red lines everywhere although they may be. If the talks are friendly and constructive the parties may not feel the same urgency as the fans." on Wednesday, April 15, 07:23:22am

The customers who matter are not the likes of us. We know that from multiple issues. The assumption will be that the big spending Riverside habitues have little interest in mundane matters such as the identity of the manager. When's that swimming pool going to be ready?
