Re: More Changes?

Thats the end of the idiot brothers then!!... thank fukc for that...I wonder if the money men walk too or maybe they realised the brothers are idiots and wanted them out before they commit further? Who knows It's not. They control Ramayana and Ramayana control the club. They could change the board ...

Re: More Changes?

Who knows? Whole range of possibilities. If Ben and new manager do a good job on a more restricted budget, then maybe more investment might be on the cards (the traditional investment hypothesis). If we get relegated then incentive to invest further becomes more unlikely and the question arises as t...

Re: Summer 2024 squad tracker

Connor didn't really push on last season and was very much a fringe player. Not sure we would miss him but that will be relative to who comes in to replace.

Re: More Changes?

So the fog is slowly clearing. It would seem that the Ramayana owners are now taking a back seat allowing the new Chairman, Ben Hudson and MD, Will King, to run the club on a day to day basis. Simon Davers who was a Ramayana appointee remains on the board and company Secretary. James Newman ( Movemb...

Re: Those Were The Days; 21st May 1968

Les, you have got Micky German as scoring but in the comments he is not one of the scorers. I may be wrong but Garman never scored for Hampton. Although I was only seven at the time, I remember him as a skilful ball player. Not sure what his career was pre and post Hampton. Maybe be Shep or others w...

Re: New Manager

Very pleased to see Jacques remains part of the club. Jacques and The Trust were present in Autumn 2022 when the [now current] owners outlined their vision for the club and it is Jacques and The Trust who can hold them accountable. Sadly I think you are a bit naive to think the Trust can hold the c...

Re: New Manager

Alan Julian's first interview now up. Disappointingly tells us very little. No mention of coaching team or players.

Re: New Manager

Question 1 should of course have been why did Mel leave? If the aim is to have better communications with supporters, someone is going to ask that question at some point so might as well have the answer ready. I think there were enough hints in Ben’s comments that point to spending too much on playe...

Re: New Manager

You’ll be glad to know we are aiming for the play offs again next season. Ben puts a positive spin on things as you would expect but no real comment on player budget or the role of the brothers or investors. Sounds as if Alan Julian has his management team together.

Re: New Manager

Good news that Ben Hudson is stepping up to chairman but the question remains what power does he have to drive his own strategy and carry the board and shareholders with him. Can’t think Ben would take on the role without real autonomy albeit the reality is that Ramayana have total control through t...

Re: New Manager

Maybe a bit of expectation management here but does seem rather downbeat. Youngsters won’t get much time to mature if they are in a struggling side fighting a relegation battle.

Re: New Manager

Can I be the first to mention that two of our most successful managers ever were also called Alan.
