Interview with Oggy tomorrow at 6pm on Radio Leeds. They've released a little snippet below, which from the looks of it contains some good/tough questionning from Oggy...

It’s gonna be a long season….. yeah it is unless we sign a proven goal scorer. Oggy certainly asking some searching questions there. Fair play to oggy on that one.

I wouldn't be going on record saying May wasn't deserving of the wage he is being paid. Talk about giving him extra motivation to bang a hat trick in against us

Talk about giving him extra motivation to bang a hat trick in against us I think it’s a fair comment in today’s day & age. If players are going to be all BBB then they should accept they might be called out for it. |

The fans don't give a shit about the boilers, kitchens and toilets. We just want a winning team to get us back where we belong. After the shitshow these lot served up last season, it's the least we deserve.

After the shitshow these lot served up last season, it's the least we deserve. You're unlikely to have a successful team if all the stuff in the background is sub standard. We criticsed him for it but Depoitre wasn't wrong when he was talking about the state of the toilets and car park at the training ground. |

The editing of that was really melodramatic. Fair play to Oggy for giving it some with the questions although it doesn’t seem to fit naturally with him.
Edwards did well enough from what I saw.

Birmingham obviously feel he almost guarantees them promotion and is therefore worth it. |

I will listen to this with interest. For all the, genuinely welcome, work on the stadium and messages this season is going to be the real benchmark for the Nagle regime. That isn't being melodramatic that is a reality.

My thoughts are, a lot of us on here knew getting out of this division is going to be very hard and staying in the championship would have been easier had we got rid of Darren Moore quicker and either kept Warnock or Worthington, a blind man could see the difference.
Unfortunately for Edwards he has a resting facial expression which appears to be smirking and does not seem to be as invested as the supporters or the owner. This is obviously not the case as Nagle who is now having to fund the mistakes of last season is still employing him, and his side kick Cartwright

Words are easy. It's the make or break year on this regime. I have my worries from what has happened so far but I'll reserve judgement until January. I just hope we're not languishing in midtable with a shrinking fan base.

For what it's worth (probably not a lot), I like Jake Edwards. Me and another lad had a 10-minute conversation with him at an event last year and he was engaging, he listened, was knowledgeable and didn't need to spend 10 minutes talking to two random Town fans.
Edwards is the CEO, he's not involved in football matters (that's why we have a Head of Football Operations), he's there to run the club and make sure everything is running day-to-day. The club is constantly being praised at the moment for all the progress off the pitch. Who do you think is overseeing all that? Nagle might be shelling the money out but he's not there day-to-day to oversee everything - it's Edwards.
Some people on here, and other social media, genuinely don't even know the difference between Cartwright and Edwards and bizarrely just lump Edwards in with the same criticism.

Let's see what is said this evening but signings aside there is a lot to be excited about. I'll be honest out of everything I think the appointment of Duff has been the biggest cause for optimism. He seems to have brought a mentality we haven't seen for a long time. |

This is what I can’t get my head around.I’d imagine the most edwards has to do with any actual footballing matters is a signature on a contract once it’s all been taken care of.Bizarre some can’t differentiate. Also can’t believe we’re at the point where someone’s resting facial expression has become part of a discussion. Personally if I was bothered by that I’d just shut my eyes.Or just simply listen and not watch. |

Some people on here, and other social media, genuinely don't even know the difference between Cartwright and Edwards and bizarrely just lump Edwards in with the same criticism. I get that but what are the reporting lines? Does Cartwright report directly to Nagle or to Edwards? Do you know what the decision tree is? I would agree that the progress off the pitch is very encouraging and professional. However success on the pitch drives everything. Edwards will be looking at revenue generation and the better things on the pitch the more opportunities that presents to Edwards to make things better off the pitch. For example let's look at a scenario: This season doesn't go too well (NB: I am not predicting that) and Edwards says it his impacting his ability to "grow" the club. Who does he go to to challenge fortunes on the pitch? Mr Nagle or does he have any authority over the performance of Cartwright/Duff? I guess how he answers and performs in the interview may make these things clear. I would hope he has ultimate delegated authority from Mr Nagle because a diverse management structure doesn't strike me as a great idea. There needs to be ultimate accountability/decision making. Equally deferring everything to Mr Nagle ultimately can't be ideal given he isn't here regularly. Football results are everything. To precis the above waffle I would ask this question; who kicks Cartwright's ass if the football side fails? |
