Smurf interview

[waynes62 50]

Seems like good news on the horizon on Twitter

 

Don't do Twitter like what

[Santa 152]

Norman's had a shandy/been hacked again/delete as applicable

[Robbie Earle's Perm 50]

They are the Chairmans words

 

I didn't see the chairman calling the manager dense so I doubt they are his words ;)

[Robbie Earle's Perm 50]

What's that supposed to mean?

 

If you knew skinty's history that is very funny!

[Caroline Oakes 50]

Knowing Skinty's history I think NS is dissing checkout operators, but not to worry, NS has probably been hacked..........again .

Caroline you have a go at Smurf for dishing it out, but then you do the same yourself using childish names. Perhaps if you grow up then people might take your seriously. Tell me are you still bitter over your man Mo not getting in. Perhaps if he had put his money where his mouth was then he would of got it, considering the club was on a plate.

Considering Smurf was replying to a well known wum, everyone knew what was meant by his comments, but yet again "the anti smurf brigade", twist everything to suit their agenda. Have genuine issues fair do's but picking up on every little thing and twisting does you no favours whatsoever.

No he's clearly dissing a daft poster who has been discredited more times than Gail from Corrie has been married!

 

It's amazing how people's minds work.

It could be that Mz Oakes is suggesting that skinty is far below a checkout operator and smurf is dissing them by catergorising them together.... therefore having a go at skinty... not smurf

Nor did I

[cheeky 50]

Smurf this is a good year on year increase above a 10% comp growth is indeed good business . 10 to 20% of two Bob and a conker is two Bob and three conkers. Any way need to get back behind my till to tell my cash ready customers I have run out of pies, beers. Etc Etc

The singularly most popular shirt in our history was the v and pmt. a reproduction was a no brainier. We have a spond or with three letters an exact reproduction but with Gmb mmmm

Fair play smurf good growth so how does that compare to the com department of let's say bury

 

How can you expect anyone to take you seriously when you're as articulate as a remedial snail?

 

Oh, and you still haven't paid up on the bet we had last pre-season yet.....

Is this because it's still only June and we're doing quite a lot of business early on right at the beginning of ST sales, with Norman making the money back later on in the year from sales over time? Or is it 'full stop' and Norman will be putting £350,000 in regardless?

 

.

Norman is between a rock and a hard place here.

 

He has quite clearly said that the footballing side of things is the managers remit and is nothing to do with him. He can't interfere.

 

 

So who signed Aziz Deen-Conteh, Enoch Andoh, Reiss Greenidge and Achille Campion?

What a laugh.

 

wtf is the. anti-Smurf brigade and the pro-Mo brigade? This is 2015.

 

You don't have to suck-off everything that Smurf says. Criticism is allowed.

Of course criticism is allowed mate, perhaps I was a little harsh on Caroline last night. But yes there is times when Smurf gets it wrong. His comments about the M6 to Tim being one the other week. So yes his PR at times has been poor. Another area that needs to be improved is the marketing around fans not buying season tickets. They need to be encouraged not held to ransom.

But then there are people on here, who pick up on every little thing and use it to beat the bloke around the head with it. Some fans question Smurf for how he speaks to fans but then use childish remarks or foul language on Facebook to describe the bloke. There's an old saying "Two wrongs don't make a right".

Have genuine issues with Norman and raise them if needs be through diplomatic means perhaps then the fan base and club might become more united.

I'm a big supporter of smurf, but we're now saying that if someone has a genuine issue they have to raise it through diplomatic means, yet the chairman is ok to continue spouting unprofessional, embarrassing ***** on Twitter and other media outlets? Surely he needs to lead by example?

 

He needs to stop getting ****** and playing around on the Internet. Not only is he embarrassing himself, but also the club.

[TJHValiant 77]

In fairness to Smurf, the response I had from him over an issue I had was diplomatic enough. It was not as if he was threatening to sue me like a certain owner of Blackpool. He takes part in the debates and I like that about this forum. The debates. I even put opinions on here that perhaps I am unsure of because it is good to hear what fans and indeed even Smurf thinks. I enjoy hearing views of fellow fans even if I don't agree with them

[cheshirevaliant 76]

If we have overspent again (for the third year since Smurthwaite has been here), the buck stops with Smurthwaite. I cannot believe that he first gave Wildes a blank chequebook, then gave Adams a blank chequebook, now has given Page a blank chequebook. The one common denominator in all of this overspending is Smurthwaite. Either sort it out, or stop ****ing moaning about it.

[TJHValiant 77]

If there is one thing the cheque books have been it isn't blank. The budget has been reduced from the mid 2 mils in league 2 promotion season to what £1.8 odd for this.

 

Personally I would say it is impossible to run a league 1 club adjusted for inflation on that sort of money these days. Even our relegation, Bill Bratt, we are where we are season had a budget of £1.6 million. Adjusted for inflation and rising market prices, this is our lowest squad budget in living memory from the early 1990s.

 

The Swindon Town claim is a massively misleading as they bought plays for excess of £500,000 on a similar budget, but in fairness to Smurf they also get much bigger crowds.

 

Pope has gone which is saving us thousands each week, Williamson was on around £1,000 a week. Unless Streete is on £10,000 a week, God knows where the money has gone.

 

However I saw this coming. We need a much better cup run next season. The FA cup is our biggest competition. We can earn thousands from that and a good run meeting a top prem team could total an extra million to the budget.

 

I would say that the lack of cup runs is the single biggest problem for us at the moment.
