Tony Fernandes

[1973 ranger]

As he was present last night and witnessed a stadium that was not full for a local and a team a damn sight worse than the one he bought back in 2011. Surely the man has to do a Keegan and say he is not qualified to be chairman. We need Amit back running the show as he was during Warnock's time and he even targeted the best manager we have had in the last 10-15 years.

Why do you think it's that simple? How do you know Amit wants more involvement or that share issues make it completely impossible? Also just cos something worked in the past, there is no guarantee that it will again.

[1973 ranger]

Fair enough Kev but nothing has worked in the 5 years Fernandes has been in charge so surely worth a go?

[Rebel R's]

Difficult to figure out who should go first ,TF,Sir les or JFH ?

Where do you get the 'stadium not full' from? 16,888 for a TV game is good

[1973 ranger]

Olly, There were empty seats there as there were at the Birmingham and Reading Games. TV game or not a West London should be a sell out.

[1973 ranger]

Fernandes has talked a good game but under him we have gone backwards and unless addressed soon we will be paying for this for a long time. I understand it is not easy where the training ground and new stadium is concerned but surely you need to get the playing side right first? No point getting a stadium for a team not worthy of playing in it.

The major problem a chairman that won't or can't learn but will listen to anybody
A DOF on work experience
An inexperienced manager
All the ingredients for failure

[1973 ranger]

Chairman is the problem and has been since 2011 and we are a hell of a lot worse under him than before he took over.

We've had 3 seasons in the Prem and a day out at Wembley giving us a memory we will never forget.

The way they want to build a foundation is going to take time if they aren't spending big on players. The new manager whoever it will be needs to be given time too.

[1973 ranger]

Two relegations and two golden premier league tickets that has been regally ####ed up. Bournemouth, Swansea, Palace to name a few have managed to get it right when in the premier league so not sure why we could not when we had 2 bites of the cherry. The foundations should have been built in 2011-2012 instead of buying Cisse, Barton and the like and paying them 70k plus a week. We should be spending wisely and running it like a championship club.

And the other 2 walk away nothing to with us yeah right T F might be gullible but there's no reason to take the plss

[1973 ranger]

Dogs how long do you genuinely believe he will stay if OOC does not go our way?

[Bigdave]

He hasn't helped himself as he has consistently made the wrong decisions in appointing certain people to the club, but he seems like his intentions are or were good for the club.

Hughes, Beard, Rigg, Ferdinand have all been paid handsomely and given massive authority with his cheque book and the return has been p iss poor.

In fairness to Redknapp he got us promoted back up, something we look a million miles away from at the moment and we actually got returns from some of his signings like Charlie, Phillips and Fer. Most of Hughes' signings were paid off to leave.

[Timmy the Doc]

I back Tony Fernandes 100 %.
Time under him has been fairly successful compared to 15 years before him.
I think he has made only one major mistake and that was giving too much power to Beard, Hughes and his agents. That was understandable as he was so fresh in football business.
He has learnt from that and signed Ferdinand as DOF. I think we now have a solid base to build new success. I fully understood and backed appointment of Jimmy, it just didn't work. We are not the only club in history who has made mistakes in appointing wrong managers. Let's not exaggerate our situation. It's not that bad some might want to express.
