2019/20 Marcel Brands

[Goat]

He talked to 7 disgruntled fans. He wasn't faced with the seven samurai.

My DoF.

 

[Deco]

Mr Brands showing his class once again.

Behave Dave, even from a neutral perspective confronting even a few fans from a passionate fan base takes balls.

What was going to happen?

Nothing. He'd have had stewards with him too.

Big deal. He came down from his office and spoke a few platitudes to assuage a few blues with genuine concerns.

Youd be one of these in Dead Poets Society...

"Captain Jug Head, my captain jug head."

You'd have gone for the jugular on here if he didn't go out to speak to them.

The fans who made the effort to go to finch farm are clearly an angry bunch. He spoke to them, listened, he's very aware there's a crisis at the moment, no one would have expected him to and its sad how critical you are on that.

Fans are very respectful at this club, that's my experience. Unless it's a Johnson situation or whatever.

 

[Brownie]

I still think he always looks like he's about to cry. Hope he's okay.

Having the players and ability to beat them at their nest and not perform or put the effort in tipped many over the edge.

...yes, but I doubt that anger would have been translated as aggression.

 

[GwladysPhil]

Depends on the context. I'd love to shout and scream at schnieds.

Already 9 days into Janaury and nobody signed, I know remain patient and that but Its hard when Brands has a track record of waiting until deadline.

He's got a track record of not buying in January so you might have to remain a bit more patient

 

[Lowste]

Credit to Brands in going out to discuss the issues at hand with supporters.

But has to be said though he has been brought into sign players for now and the future, enabling us to challenge
So credit due in appeasing fans, now earn the credit in signing players

a centre forward would be good for starters

Deadline? He hasn’t signed a player in January for 9 years mate no point staying patient nothing will be happening bar hopefully some sales

Thanks for facing the seven samurai outside Finch Farm - now can you get some decent players in...or, better still, hand Ancelotti the cash to make sure we dont get your usual 'kin tat in?
