Really good Q&A session. Very honest as ever, we are lucky to have these guys running our club.

Ling looks like he's been ill lost quite a bit of weight by the look of it.

Nigel spoke well and basically agrees with everything I've said about the proposal. Bow down to me.

Very worrying that Martin Ling thinks we have a good squad and expects them to finish top half. We only have about half the team playing out of position and a bloke who shouldn't be a footballer at right back. Other than that, it's great.

Most of the squad / tactical questions were ignored. Must've just ran out of time...

I wonder how that session would've gone had the Big Picture proposal still been on the table at the time of the Q&A

Stupid to think Nigel is going to get into tactical or player discussions.

Yeah really disappointed in that, not sure what fairy story scenario he thinks there can be where you add B teams in and EFL clubs won't be adversely affected. No point being financially sustainable if you rip the soul out of football.

So if 12 teams go.to the wall what do we do then ?
Just have shorter less profitable seasons that will eventually
cost us far more money or keep replacing then with small
Unsupported clubs who struggle from Non League ?

Im notf or or against it either .

But we go back to Bilboa Athletic
Barcas B team which i cant remember the name of.

I think we have a squad capable of a top half finish. I think we are playing to a system that is a bottom half finish.

No teams need go to the wall if the government would allow limited numbers of fans to return.
Crazy to think that Yesterday there was a music event allowed at the London Palladium with a large crowd present and another at the Albert Hall where football fans were sat socially distanced listening to Arsene Wenger.
Where is the consistency ??

Add squad management to that second bit and it's a fair summary.

Football and Leyton Orient will be finished to me the second a ‘b’ team player kicks a ball
in anger in English football, It’s quite simple.
