So blame the chairman when things don't go well but don't give any credit for when they do (or appear to be). As I have said to loyal, balance your arguments if you want to be taken seriously.

You'll note my caveat in brackets in my original post. Appear.

Jeez, do you not see the pointlessness of throwing plaudits around before a ball has even been kicked?
Your argument is Brent deserves credit for being part of a Board who hired Adams, who hasn't yet managed a game, who in turn has then gone on to hire players nobody has seen play, GS aside. :lol:
Like I said, a laughable thread.

Every season in this division should be seen as a failure by those that run the club. The bar should be higher than midtable in League Two.

What is there to give him credit for? I'm certainly not having a go at him, but it seems laughable that we are slapping him on the back and congratulating him simply for allowing the manager to sign some desperately needed players to ensure we have enough for the start of the season - something any other chairman in the country does and should do as part of the ownership of the club.
I'll happily give Brent credit if Adams proves to be a success and gets us promoted but not until then.

He didn't say "congratulations", he isn't "back slapping" JB and he isn't saying "hurah for JB".
He's just saying "fair play" to JB AND the board for bringing in Derek Adams and new players.
Even then John Eldridge is saying "he hopes the club does well on the pitch". Hardly the stuff of happy clapping.
