No. It's listening to fans opinions.

Generally fans take such a short term view. If a player has a couple of bad games then he's shit and should be shipped out etc. Same for managers.

I really dislike the pressure that fans try to put on football clubs.


Thing is d50 and I’m neither agreeing or disagreeing with you, at the end of the day a football club is a business and has to be run that way. If that was your business/football club and you had the same finances as PW or lots of other owners for that matter, would you keep taking massive financial losses and damage to your business, maybe even folding by sticking with a manager or players who you had no guarantee could change?

Or it could be listening to fans’ opinions.

I agree that tough decisions need to be taken. I just think that the short term view, and chopping and changing, leads to poor decisions.

If the audience on Question Time was on the panel we'd be even more fucked as a country.

You're right, I think.

Either way, if Pete "he who is wisest and knows more than all of us" Winkelman, decides listening to an individual fan's opinion or fans' opinions and responding to them in a video, then he is right to do so, apparently. Or maybe he doesn't know how to run a club (including dealing with PR) as well as some think.

Depends on how many fans we're listening to. If it's just one, you're right. ;)

Perhaps its just the videos themselves that are a poor choice, rather than listening to fan opinion.

Both of these. :)
Glad to see FD's finally recognising it. ;)

It’s fans’ - Wodehouse would never get that wrong ;)
