    Yes, I submitted all the questions I listed and applied to go. All fell on deaf ears. I must admit, I would have thought loads of others would have asked those questions too, out of 1,400. Can’t believe these weren’t asked about.

    At a guess, your sickening behaviour in the shoutbox probably contributed towards it.

    Can anybody help me decipher this? I’m not sure I’ve ever read so many contradictory statements in one paragraph:

    Pozzo: We have improved the staff and the people around them to help coaches. We feel the style, approach and philosophy is what we want in the new manager. It's hard to count on coaches for stability in coaches trhese days, they also don't stay long sometimes. We want to have stability in staff and approach, and then look for the right coach to use that to develop a strong team. The time coaches have been with us has not alwasy been ideal, but the results have generally been good. We clearly need stable coaching staff to move to the next level. We have achieved good results with many changes of manager, and thatshows the stability we have behind the scenes.

    Sarr will definitely be off/Deeney not retuning - Duxbury basically called one lazy/uninterested and the other a liar

    That's quite interesting, they were quite litterally throwing invites out the window to fans' in the closing hours before the event. Either they had a lot of no shows or it wasn't as full as they expected.

    I don’t think there is a requirement for the OWNER to appear before fans.

    Was he drunk when he said that? That isn't even a statement it's just a mashup of big words.

    The good news however, is that we’re just one coach away from being Brighton.

    I have literally quoted the post that said that Gino did not deserve credit for showing up given that it was a requirement to do 2/year.

    A requirement of the club no? There is no mention from the poster you quoted of Gino.

    "Sickening"?

    Take some Pepto-Bismol; you must have an incredibly sensitive stomach.

    Ok, the club he owns should hold a minimum of two meetings a season where one or all of the owner, a board member or executive is present, which they have failed to do until tonight. In fact, the only reason they have done so tonight is because they were publicly shamed into doing so and even then they outsourced the organisation of the event to the supporters.

    Not good enough - LeedsOrn wants the club given credit for abdicating their responsibilities and chucking it on the fans.

    “Mistakes have been made.”

    Always willing to admit yesterday’s mistakes, never willing to acknowledge there might be some mistakes being made today.

    All part of the 21st century “let’s move on” PR culture.

    Staggered by the claims over the debt. No way to prove it one way or the other right now. It might well be a “mistakes were made” admission at some point in the future.

    Yes. But see the post that post quotes of mine.
    I don’t disagree with that. But many on here insisted that Gino would cancel or be ill or something. He didn’t. He showed up and answered all questions. It’s the most we’ve heard from him and he’s heard from us in 11 years.

    Maybe some of it could be put down to French's typing? Let's see if the precise transcript is a bit less scrambled when it's released.

    I can out of 20000 fans or so why would your Q have any more credence than others?

    it wasn’t deaf ears. You weren’t selected at random and others questions were considered more pertinent

    I applied and offered 10 questions none were asked I don’t consider it personal

    A new low for LR, blaming the typing.

    2019 - "Best of the rest"

    2022 - "The Championship is not a strong league as shown by Luton getting in the playoffs (laughs). The squad we have is more than good enough to come straigh back up"

    2023 - "I want us to be the best we can play, but we are an EFL club. Of course I want us to win and get promoted. But we are an EFL club, one of the best EFL clubs, and we'll always be competitive. Maybe we'll win it, maybe we'll go up, maybe we'll stay there. But we are an EFL club and we should be proud."

    Those questions I would have thought would be of high interest.

    No need for your attack and bluster.

    I don't feel they really admitted to many/any mistakes. More that they were let down by bad managers that weren't their fault for being appointed.

    So to summarise, Noithings changing. Only other point of note is we will have no external debt in a years time.

    Expectations for the club have been on a slide for a long time. This statement makes perfect sense to me. We were a mid table Championship side when they first came in, and we are one again now. Full circle doesn't begin to help lift the gloom that we could of really pushed on after the FA Cup Final to cement ourselves as a stable PL club.

    I questioned if it might have been hindered by the difficult process of transcribing live a person's speech. Calm down.

    It will always be the same thing with the debt situation, they have the upper hand because the accounts will always cover a period up to 18 months ago. They can always call the most recent filled accounts just a snapshot in time, say what they want now, and by the time the next set of accounts come out they cycle repeats.

    They also have the benefit of being able to blame any changes on things that happened after they said it.

    Lol I’m perfectly calm buddy. You’re the one using typing as an excuse for what the owner said. Probably time for a bit of introspection when you’ve reached that point.

    Thought i'd go back and revisit some of my personal highlights from the event:

    A complete and utter lie

    We all knew this was happening but good to have it confirmed from the horses mouth

    So is continuity of coach important or not? Complete gibberish

    Every single one?

    You hired Ivic 6 months earlier...

    After having said multiple times just minutes earlier:

    Unbelievable

    Most flagrantly and insultingly dishonest section tonight IMO. Just a complete pisstake that we are expected to swallow this nonsense

    They're going to regret saying this, its so obvious they've created a brand new "hell or higher water" soundbite tonight

    How about every 12 years?

    Beyond parody, genuinely laughed out loud at this part

    I would agree. You made a comment that was low and uncalled for. Plus it wasn't even an attempt at being funny.

    Cheap shots at people are lame.
