Why is everything to the extremes?
The board do some things well. They give the manager time, and seem to, at least, let the manager handle things on the pitch. Kenwright also seems skilled at getting the most we can from sales (excepting Rooney, and arguably Arteta). They have also prevented us from doing a Leeds or Pompey. These are good things! And now they're giving Martinez the money he made from sales and maybe a little bit on top.
They also do some things poorly. They still seem to foster an incompetent marketing department for one. They also still have not sorted out a new stadium for us, not have they put their hands in their own pockets to invest in the club. Our business deals are catastrophic (kitbag is one of the worst commercial deals I've ever heard of).
They are neither evil or malicious. They have some clear areas that require improvement. It is not in anyone's interest but theirs to fail to give them inerest for the things they do well, nor is it in anyone's credit to fail to note their weaknesses.
I am happy so far with the window. That is entirely separate from the fact I am not happy with movement on a stadium, the lack of targeted overseas marketing, the heinous kitbag deal, or the objectively subpar Chang deal.
Quite possibly the best post we will ever see on a board related thread. Extremists: read, digest and be humble.
