LeggyMountbatten Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I was on the call. I believe the ST are putting the recording online so everyone can view. I thought Gartside spoke well I must say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay71 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Evatt & Gartside both spoke well. The club certainly seems to be in great hands with those two, as soon as results start changing on the pitch things will go swimmingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked them yesterday, they declined to answer saying it was "a matter for the AGM". Not sure why they still need £50k in the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeggyMountbatten Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Just in case anyone is interested, I've listed some of the main points from Evatt and Gartside: Evatt Apologized for performances but says there is method in the madness and they are laying the foundations for future success Current position is temporary - no-one at the club is happy with it but still thinks we have something to play for this season. Will finish higher than we are now. Looking for quick fixes in Jan window but will strengthen squad Processes/structure for recruitment at club need to improve No U23's has been a problem - not been able to loan out or arrange friendlies because of COVID - doing lots of 11 v 11 in training to make up for it Possession is our identity - mentality issues causing us to go behind early in games - looking to get sports psychologist in Played Sarcevic too deep at the start of the season Sees young players in training every day - played games when not ready last season - they are talented but not ready to cope with L2 week in week out yet Has learned it's a big job and more difficult than he expected Lots of work being done behind the scenes that you can't see at the moment but this will benefit club in future We are a work in progress. Stick with us and keep the faith - we will turn it around Gartside Club aiming for sustainability using assets like hotel and property Wants stadium to work 365 days a year but can't at the moment because of COVID - success of stadium and hotel more important for us now we are in L2 Events starting to come back to stadium and hotel Owners want us to become a Championship club again - once club back in Championship they will review their strategy On course to pay off creditors - not expecting further penalties or sanctions Support from fans this season humbling - ST sales, ST waivers, iFollow COVID delayed academy restructure Finances will remain robust if we have to spend another season in L2 Important for Sharon to do good in the community - trying to rebuild relationships in town destroyed by KA Building foundations now for future growth Utilized furlough for people exiting the business Wanted iFollow ST pass to include away games but got outvoted by other L2 clubs Averaging 2,500 streams for each away game on Ifollow - biggest in L2 - Streams for Tranmere away highest of season Football is cyclical - dark days now but good days will return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted January 29, 2021 Moderators Share Posted January 29, 2021 Re the relationships, I'd argue they were already massively damaged way before Ken. Eg the bully boy stewards were employed by Mr Gartside Snr (as chairman), sorry Andy. The example I use is Braga at home when I was in "Crazy Corner" and a steroid head in orange barged past me with a juvenile in a headlock, it was like being in Ikon. The supporters were treated with utter contempt. You aren't re-writing history and putting that all on Ken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyRiddle Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I've got massive concerns Evatt's ego is bigger than his talent, but fair do's, he has got a challenging job but shows he wants to do the right thing and seems to care. Obviously I hope him and FV do turn it around for the benefit of all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I would like to hear more of what is going on behind the scenes as mentioned by Evatt. Any how well done to the S.T. for getting Evatt and A.G. involved with the AGM. 💣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may not be good enough to play week in week out, the trouble is the ones he's brought in clearly aren't neither. Also, at times seem to lack some desire. They barely make the bench, let alone the first team. Thomasson has come in and played really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadRunnerFan Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 'Utilised furlough for people exiting the business' So used the taxpayer to reduce their liabilities on staff we wanted rid of anyway. We'd be fuming if it wasnt Wanderers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
