toddy Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Aren't the issues we currently have, related because of the board? Same as if things were great on the pitch, the board will have got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping it’s not because people think that relationships have got better and recruitment has improved over the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsRam77 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 some good points and take on board 1 hour ago, Bridgford Ram said: Sam Rush was doing what was considered 'good work' before we had heard of Mel Morris. He was prominent (because that was his job at the time) at a time when the club was showing improvement on the pitch and was very good from a PR perspective (e.g. extending Shaun Barker's contract, regular fan meets). It is unfair to label this all of Sam Rush's good work I suppose because the owners will have played a part in key decisions. I think the key point is that Sam Rush was accountable for what he did, Mel Morris is not and therefore - and I steal something I have started to see on here a lot - there are no checks and balances. Sam Rush reported into people above him and he seemed very good at his job - lets not forget there was rumour we would have him poached by a bigger club. It may just be that one of Mel Morris's bigger mistakes is suppressing Sam Rush's effectiveness. Some good points, But did Sam rush extend Shaun barkers contract or was it chairman at time of speaking. what I'm saying I suppose is that the chief exec, be it Sam rush or any other chief exec doesn't make those decisions, he/they merely executes them. they deal with football administration and agents to my knowledge they don't make the big decisions like who to hand contracts to, they negotiate them with the agents when told to do so.

Mostyn6 Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 I have NO proof whatsoever behind this theory, but I think Mel has taken a step back, asked Sam Rush "What would you do?", Sam probably responded "I would've kept McClaren". Well done to Mel, nobody can say your ego is ruining this club when you make a decision like this. Thanks Uncle Mel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it fails, it's on him for the re-appointment, never go back etc. If it works, smart arses will point out we could have been in the same position 2 years ago if he hadn't got rid in the 1st place. He can't win, but luckily we can, and by putting himself behind Derby County in the importance stakes, he's shown his interests come 2nd to the club's.
