Hmmm. Well at least it's on message for the new way that the club works, which we all know is the only option now. I hope he's right about the scouting department.
I can agree with building a sustainable club that's HOOS forte. A scouting department doing it right. Is he saying having DOF has failed. We had scouts before. Stable squad not really.
We have a scouting department that are doing it correctly. We have a stable squad. First time in 5 years. Building a sustainable club
Been on hols for a while, so no recent posts. But saw this tweet 2 weeks back, and it still really bothers me.
If Tony had just tweeted the first sentence, fair enough.
But 'we have a stable squad. First time in five years' implies the powers that be are settled and happy with the 'stability' of flirting with relegation to league one for the next few seasons. Is that really the stability we want, the sum total of ambition for the foreseeable future? No one who loves the club wants the crazy spending days; but no one wants last season's performance to be the template for the next few either.

The irony is I feel we are only "stable" right now by chance because we can't offload the fringe players and the likes of Caulker.
If we could get rid of a few you know we'd be bringing in a load to replace them and the transfer merry go round starts again. "Stability" would go out of the window if Holloway had his way.
At the start of the summer Ollie was saying it will take him 2 transfer windows to sort his squad, now suddenly we are happy and stable and don't need anybody. Yeah right!
Even Borysiuk, Holloway yesterday said he was like a new signing but if a Polish club came in with a reasonable offer you know he would be out the door.

He has been tweeting again today. You may not like him or agree with him but some of the responses he gets put shame on the club. Tirades of insults towards him. What are these 'fans' hoping to achieve?

They would do well to remember that this board has invested in this club and it's future. The last thing we want is new owners. The last investment this club saw was under JIM GREGORY. SHAME ON THEM FOR ABUSE.
Agree with you Pamment. TF has made it easy for his detractors but he has also put his money in and seems to be still up for it even in our current state. He also seems to have learnt from his mistakes. What the club is trying to do now is right but difficult to do. So there will be disappointments. But I reckon we've got a decent owner who genuinely wants the best for the club and has got in some good people to make it happen. We could do a lot worse. The abusers are 100% in the wrong because that sort of abuse is always wrong but also because they should be careful what they wish for.
Firing abuse is absolutely stupid as it'll do nothing other than turn TF more away from social media and supporters who are genuinely interested in what he says and interacting with him
However I do know that a couple of idiots do it only because TF bites and responds to them, therefore giving the idiots the publicity (and extra followers) they want
If Tony simply ignored them and didn't bite then people wouldn't do it. I'm not for one minute saying I agree with them or they have valid points, I'm just saying TF could do more to prevent it
