and in response

1 The football side and the marketing side ARE the same part of the organisation and the Board have a responsibility to ensure that both function well. Its the same in any large, hierarchical organisation.

I don't believe all our woes are solely the board's fault but it seems to be they should have paid more attention to the football side e.g. hold the football staff accountable for the academy, the scouting network, the loans policy etc etc

2. The high expectations of the fans means they are less tolerant of failure and affects the atmosphere, which then affects the performance. That's my point.

3. Perhaps for delia to revise downwards the valuation of her share? Perhaps for the board to be strengthened? I don't know. I am not a rabid 'Delia outer' but I do think there are problems at the club and I think high levels of season tickets mean that the it is less likely that the board will be likely to resolve those problems
