Karl Oyston claims to be a
business/finance man and not a football man. However, he has been the BFC
football decision-maker by virtue of his negotiations with players/managers and,
as such, is solely responsible for the club's relegation which is now
inevitable. With managers with strong personalities such as Ian Holloway and
Paul Ince, this was probably an effective working arrangement, but in deciding
to turn to an inexperienced manager in Barry Ferguson (despite all his football
knowledge) and ask him to right the catastrophic damage that had preceded the
start of his tenure, was only ever going to end in tragedy. The withdrawal of
the loan players at the end of December with no replacement until the end of
January was particularly the BFC throat-slitter and as KO was the manager at the
helm during all of this process, I am very clear that he alone should pay a
penalty - ideally equivalent to that of any other organisational manager which
had produced such a shambolic performance - get rid of him!!
However, all that is in the real world and the minimum
that we must accept is that KO must acknowledge the errors of his management
decisions and clearly communicate with his paying customers how he will rectify
his errors. Again though, his track record suggests that KO's game plan will be
to go into hiding until the furore dies down, albeit silencing himself and his son from resorting to the usual mockery and taunts of a very reasonable
BFC fan base. KO must, therefore, be hounded until he at least agrees to the
creation of a more open and transparent style by the club with it's fans
including the production of a detailed, negotiated, agreed and produced Business
Plan. Additionally, I believe that the appointment of an independent (i.e. not
Sam!) Club Manager, that sits between himself and the next appointed football
manager, who is solely responsible for all football, club and communication
matters and overseeing the success of the Plan, has to be made
immediately.
There is only
one reason/person why we are rudderless after all!! UTP!!
