Howe ?

Did I call Dirk any names?

Where is your evidence that SJM is taking back previous loans as repayments. The accounts detailed so far do not show this. Perhaps those with a copy of the latest available might provide more information so that the misinformed such as Royalee stop making things up to suit their agenda.

Howe is essentially the problem @ the club. people who dont know wat they're talking about slate Rodgers, Hammond, Madejski, whoever but Howe is the real cancer. Never got behind Rodgers, created unrest within the club and single handidly created the problems we're in now

Can't agree with you there AF2. Running a football club is a business, and Howe's experience in business is unrivalled by any other football club chief executive.

Reading fans have unrealistic expectations of what can be done whilst running the club as a business - and when managers like Rodgers who was no better than a fan himself come into contact with Howe, that's when we have problems.

My worry is that the constant criticism of Howe will lead to him taking a back seat. You only have to look at Portsmouth to see how dangerous that would be for us.

The supporters of the current board and Chief Executive can't have it both ways. They and the board claim football is like any other business.If that is the case there are a few inescapable principles. Firstly, you can't continue to cut costs. At the end of the day you need sensible investment on an ongoing basis in order to secure the longer term security, prosperity and growth of that business. Secondly, you have to keep moving forwards, if not, you tend to start falling backwards. Thirdly, you have to provide a product that customers are happy with and want to buy. Fourthly, if you p*ss off your customers they will desert you in their droves. Fifthly, if you start providing a shyte product you can't expect/ask your customers to carry on supporting you purely through brand loyalty.

Reality is, football isn't entirely like other businesses.

As for Howe's experience in business, as a Quantity Surveyor and Project Manager if I recall correctly, is it that brilliant and successful? And when it comes to his experience in the different business of football, the likes of Karen Brady wipe the floor with him!

Finally... someone with some sense.... absolutely spot on !

I think you may have got your threads mixed up. This thread seems to be about Nigel Howe.
