Unfortunately this fella comes across as a club sycophant rather than representing supporters. 

 

I think fans accept the difficulty of a new season in the PL, the financial constraints that we were under and that it won't be easy to re-establish ourselves. The point he's missed is that we were a very established PL club and a serious of glaring errors over multiple seasons is the route cause of our current predicament. Fans might be more accepting if they could see that the club was learning from these errors and were embracing changes in approach, learning lessons and incorporating them (e.g. change in club hierarchy and management structure, new investment strategies or revenue streams, better communication with paying fans, transfer strategy etc.). 

 

What we've had this season, however, was a muddled approach to appointing a new manager (who was subsequently dismissed), a flawed transfer strategy and an absence of proactive communication with fans. A so called "review" of the failings led to no changes in the people running the club and no public visibility of what this review found. 

 

I usually consider myself to be a pretty pragmatic supporter. I'm conscious of LCFCs position in the food chain and perhaps more accepting of failure than most. It's reached the point, however, where I can fully understand the frustration that's led to this more direct action. As a very minimum the club needs to communicate more effectively and glib statements from people who are supposed to represent supporters are going to do nothing to assuage people's concerns.

He actually mentions the points deduction threat, that was entirely the result of the incompetent way we've managed wages and finances, as a reason we should all suck it up and accept the current situation. Couldn't make it up.

 

Like a few here I'm actually shocked that Cliff is still in post, I haven't heard about him since around the time of the title win! Just another example of how stagnant the 'official' setup has become. And exactly why tomorrow's protest must happen.

I've got to say the thought of this protest is bringing the spark back and reinforcing how much I love the club, just not how it's currently being managed. I see a lot of people saying they're done with football and whilst there are problems with the modern game, once we see a club we recognise again and can get behind (win lose or draw, but not to be mistaken with the blind followers who accept mismanagement) the better it will be.

 

There's lots of clubs with ambitions who are loving life. Why can't, or shouldn't it be us having fun again?

I think that's it. Across the board there is no evidence of change or evolution. This even manifests itself in supporters groups and official communication channels. You learn in business that even the most successful companies need to evolve and change to stay relevant. There are multiple examples of those that don't do this withering and dying in the face of new competition. 

 

We were the club everyone wanted to be a few seasons ago. Now teams like Brighton, Brentford, Fulham, Forest and Crystal Palace have all moved past us. We're not trying to compare ourselves to Liverpool and Man Utd or clubs that operate in a different financial reality. We're grateful of what the current regime have achieved here, but now it's stagnated. Evolve or die and, as the thread title says, it feels like the time for a reset is now!

Good old Cliff endlessly backing the club. At least the mistakes pointed out have been positively acted upon.

 

Dear God.

The guy is the anti-statin, he's an absolute waste of space. Would turn up to the opening of an envelope if it meant a new pitch side Facebook profile pic.  A proper Blue Army coach one type, XXXL home and away. If the club suggested fans pay them to remove their limbs he'd be there nodding, approving and providing a quote for the Merc.

Here’s what people need to understand… KPFC do not care about what local fans think. They care what the global audience think. The thought of media slamming them and calling the ownership out globally absolutely terrifies them. 
 

If a single newspaper in Thailand started reporting there were protests against ‘king power’ , that isn’t just an embarrassment to King Power it’s an embarrassment to the king of Thailand… who heavily associates himself with the brand. I can assure you, make a big enough wave and we will see action. 
 

the one thing that was perhaps wrong, is that we’ve chosen to wear yellow. That is the colour of the king and is seen as positive support. The opposition to the king wear red and would have been disastrous for king power and more likely to cause huge headlines in Thailand. 

I don't think the intention is to overthrow the King of Thailand!

 

Not unless Rudkin has really worked his way up the ladder...

I'd have been more surprised had Cliff have backed this..

 

I remember him spouting (spunking?) the same sort of drivel as far back as the Pleat Out days. He was considered a (somewhat loveable) fool by the fans even then

 

He's an extraordinary anachronistic man in some ways. As are his wife and daughter too. An entire family dedicating 50+ years  to represent - and in many cases look after - 40 or so of society's forgotten souls. A absolute fool/tool in any other sphere outside of the Supporters Club though. 

[HitchinFox]

Cliff is an embarrassment. It's pure laziness – or lack of research – if any journo still goes to him for comment. 

Luckily, most no longer bother.

His daughter was excellent to get tickets off though 

😒

That bloke is a grade A clown. Sums up how spineless the fans are when these idiots are the ones in these positions.

[moore_94]

I imagine Alves liking this will go down well with the club… yes lad!

It's exactly the type of person the club want as chairman of the supporters club.
