Tony Fernandez Interview Part One.

[MYU]

Good job. I'm not being threatened on here for voicing my opinion. Completely unnecessary.

We can all debate but please don't ruin it for people reading the thread. You can all debate without having to swear.

[Stanley]

Surrey, you were the first to start the insults. I suggest you calm down a bit.

[kron-1664]

How? They took a near bankrupt club and left it in the Premiership. Whilst alienating fans and not giving a monkeys about what anyone thought or spin and PR

The new lot took a debt free club, took it down to the Championship - twice more than likely ;( - with a quarter of a billion quids worth of debts whilst sucking up to some utterly gullible fans who fell for the spin and PR.

You seem to conveniently forget that Flavio was destroying us with bad decision after bad decision. It was only when he had his problems with F1 and the Football League he handed the Decision making process to Amit. He then hired Warnock, gave him a positive working environment and we got promotion. Those guys were lucky in the end.

I have to agree, it was luck.

The only difference is the club is now being chaotically run by a different set of clueless people.

[alleyhoops]

I think the biggest problems are results. They keep talking up the training ground and stadium, but I just don't see a lot of evidence otherwise. Tony seems genuine and ants to win badly, but it does not work like that anymore. I think he's been playing too much Football Manager and Fifa. I don't think this club is in the position to compete until they get that new ground and debt sorted out.

Who's fault is that?

You questioned TF´s timing. I merely pointed out to you that he has been under pressure more or less from the get go. Cannot honestly see how you can be serious in questioning his timing. But please carry on. No need to think twice. Just have another dig.

[QPR Richard]

Because we care. But there is no smoke without fire - we "run down every aspect of the club" because just about every aspect of the club is being run poorly at present.

So what would YOU do differently? You have plenty of negative things to say, never anything positive. You've said every aspect of the club is being run poorly at present. How would YOU run it?

[QPR Richard]

Plenty of negative comments from the usual anti-TF mob. These people are whingeing because he's not a football man, but we've got one called Les Ferdinand. We've got another one called Harry Redknapp. These gentlemen are being paid (handsomely I'd guess) to run the footballing side. If you're not happy with our league position and performances the blame game begins with the people running the footballing side.

The board has provided the money to invest in the squad. The finger should be pointed at those whose job it is to produce a winning football team.

Nope, I deifnitely wasn't. I didn't offer anyone out either for the record. I suggest you read the comments properly before accusing me of something.

Aren't our problems fairly obvious? You don't (or shouldn't) need me to tell you what needs rectifying, and how to do it. When Trevor Sinclair, Gary Neville or Jason Burt pick apart the club and it's failings, they "care for the club / have an excellent football knowledge / understand how a club should be run etc." When fans on here do the same, they're "negative."

But you keep going on and on about problems at the club until you believe it's all bad. It isn't.

this seems to be a chicken and egg situation ,the boards fault or is it management or with one deluded poster ,the fans fault ,somewhere along the line the Buck must stop,but where

What are you on about? Fernandes does always co-incide these PR exercises with instances were he has been under increased pressure....So yes, I can question his timing.

OK - which aspect of the club do you think is working / being run well long term?
