RealSlimSladeyy 769 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Regarding the golden thread, assuming that plan has at least been somewhat abandoned, I do hope whenever they announce what (probably shitty) direction they’re going to take the club in, they’ll be challenged on the golden thread idea.

I would much prefer that vision but we have absolutely zero on which to build it, there are no suitable foundations at all whatsoever. The senior Boro executives have shown that they didn't have a clue at the time how to plan or implement it so why would they now? Plus it also seems clear that they didn't have two pennies to rub together when they launched it. That then maybe ever so slightly calls into question was the "Golden Thread" like Woodgate's appointment itself just all marketing spin and bullshine for cheap and struggling but trying and sell some snake oil to the masses? The only way it would have worked was if they got lucky and that very rarely features in any business plan for a good reason. They have had the last thirteen months to build on that "Golden Thread" philosophy by developing an infrastructure if it was ever a genuine attempt. Meanwhile they jettisoned one of the architects in December for whatever reason and still have a recruitment department that is famed for its failures. Whoever comes in has to stand on their own two feet and quickly because if they are to rely on those above them they are doomed to fail and fail miserably. I don't think the Club can handle two consecutive disasters on the off chance that we may play nice football at some distant point. The "Golden Thread" was as empty and meaningless as "Smash the League", both nice to have and both I believe to be from the heart and with a real passion but perhaps naive belief, on that I have no doubt but both were without any substantive plan other than a desire. I think next season is just a case of stopping the ship from rocking! Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,942 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I don't equate what warnock said with him potentially being director of football. A director of football literally decides upon and implements a clubs entire vision from top to bottom - this is not a hands off role that some seem to think it is. It brings as much if not more pressure than the management role (albeit probably more from a stakeholder point of view than the fans). When warnock says about giving advice behind the scenes - I believe when he says he will offer advice behind the scenes that we can take that at face value (hes not a pulis sort in terms of being a pathological liar) and that he will be giving his honest assessment of where we are now and what we need going forward. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Redcar Rioja 5,976 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Uwe I just can't picture George saying "yer no worra mean like" so would be unlikely to pass the PowerPoint test regardless of who or what he has on his slides. Link to post Share on other sites

If that’s the case, then I especially hope the club gets challenged on it. All I really want is some sense of accountability. Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,968 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 They won't though in the same way they aren't challenged on anything. Been the same for years whether its golden thread, moneyball or anyother spin the club put out there. Should be questioned over the judgement on Orta. Link to post Share on other sites
