Top thinks the play offs are the target 

[Muzzy_no7]

That interview 🤦‍♂️.

 

Please sell, Top. 

[Trev3939]

The thing that annoyed me was Top’s arrogant laugh after he was asked what the plan would be for next year if we weren’t promoted this year, where he answered “promotion” with that cocky laugh. He just does not understand the situation 

[Legend_in_blue]

Bit of a non-interview tbh.

 

Didn't get to hear anything new that we didn't already know and the promotion message coming through was more concerning than it was positive.

[Bezzanator89]

Sure OPA is in on it all. Spineless wannabe journalist.

 

Yes, Mr Chairman. I agree with with whatever you say, Mr Chairman. TAKE ME TO THAILAND WITH YOU, MR CHAIRMAN.

[Suzie the Fox]

Got bored listening to it, after about 3 mins (i lack patience.) Anyone sum up the points please? 

 

Unless ofc its just a bunch of words & promises and how we need to do better blah blah blah

Can someone tell Palmer-Atkin that he doesn't need to say 'football club' constantly. We understand context. If you just say 'club' we're not going to be sitting here wondering what the **** you're talking about

Tough job being a local radio reporter when everything you say is being picked apart by internet forum posters

It literally was just a bunch of words 😖

Where can you listen to it?

I listened to it on the WYS podcast. I think the full interview is released on Tuesday.

Absolutely achievable. The division is terrible. Oxford were terrible. We were terrible. But there's enough talent in the squad to put a decent run together.

[Ron Judkin]

That interview really exposes Top. Naive, and weak. 
 

He didn’t even seem to know Marti would be getting sacked, THE OWNER OF THE CLUB. 
 

I wonder if they had a meeting, Marti said I need backing in the window, club said we can’t do that so they sacked him. That’s the only logic I can apply to this without any sources. 
 

OPA didn’t even ask hard, pressing questions and yet he still came across as utterly incompetent and lost.

Every team that has put together 8 straight wins in the Championship has won it that season.

 

5 straight wins would put us right in the playoffs.

 

3 straight wins and we can breathe easy on relegation.

I think it's probably more to do with the fact that he's fvck!ng crap.

Our best run this season has been winning two games in a row. We've done that once.

I don’t think you’re understanding what I’m saying. 
 

Top didn’t seem like he was planning on sacking him until after that interview. Which means it was concerningly knee jerk/unplanned. When in reality he should have known Marti was getting sacked during that interview, nevermind the fact he should have been sacked months ago.

Yes.

 

We've been a bunch of apathetic moribund has-beens and dogshit individuals on ridiculously high salaries led by a cuck who is apparently the last senior leader out standing on the burning deck of HMS Piss The League after its scuttling in harbour by mysterious forces.

 

BUT the point the guy was making was, there must be enough good parts lying around in the debris to build a paddle.

[UniFox21]

Intrigued what the rest of the interview shows. With respect to RL, I can't imagine OPA asking or being allowed to ask any sort of probing question 

 

 

[Lesta2014]

On the WYS podcast Matty fryatt is a good less . He gets what it’s about and what’s needed!! 

[lcfc_forever]

What comes across is Top is more a fan and less an owner, there's so much optimism that things will get better but he doesn't make it happen enough. 

 

He delegates the management and sets the vision, and that's about it. The contrast between him and someone like Tony Bloom is wild - he has to stop being loyal to the people around him (who appear to take advantage of his confidence) and make the changes, getting modern, high quality people in the positions rather than dinosaurs like Rudkin. If not, he has to go. 

[fox in the sox]

The timing is very strange. If he knew that  Cifuentes was to be sacked surely they would call off the interviews. If he had no idea he was to be sacked then it’s also very worrying.

What talent is this? I know of winks(if hes not spitting his dummy out) JJ (hes out) ramsey (hes out) other than that there is Fatawu (if he feels like it and or the defence let him cut inside for his party trick) who else?

We have history of coming from way down the table and making the top 6. Didn't Adams and O Neill do it if I'm not mistaking. 

So, While it's possible we habe to try and believe.

[Philkeavo]

He clearly struggles in English. As others have said he is naive and his optimism is more than a touch delusional. 
My overall impression is his heart is probably in the right place but he just doesn’t project one iota of competence or confidence that he can turn things around and certainly not if he retains loyalty and trust in Dudkin.

This short interview confirms all my worst fears that he is not up to it.

Top thinks the play offs are the target 

option a) the points deduction is known and isn't severe (in the 3-5 point range), so a run of form puts us right in the mixer. 

 

option b) he's completely delusional 

 

sad thing is, I don't think you can rule out option b that easily.
