He’s the main conduit for information to be passed to supporters who are the lifeblood of any club.
Whether one likes it or not, the two transfer windows create a lot of excitement and interest for supporters.
Perhaps I expect too much , but without being specific I am sure it would be possible to indicate if a new signing is imminent and also the type and profile of player we’re seeking.
Talking in vague terms about ‘hope’ leads to speculation about lack of finances and unprofessionalism of the board; perhaps this is his intention.

Solanke would only be an issue to discuss if he was available and as we found out he wasn't Mr Hodgson rightly kept quiet, also there is the problem of unsettling players and if he had heard talk of us wanting him he may have had a nervous breakdown.

I think that is actually our policy.

I prefer it when he tells hacks with stupid questions to f*** off. This is more like The Magic Flute. Sei standhaft, duldsam und geschwiegen (stop faffing about, don't complain about waiting ages and keep your gob shut).

It’s not just the transfers I’d like to know about.
It’s how it works between Parish and the two Americans.
I believe the ownership split is roughly a third each with Parish charged with day to day running of the club and the Americans have a right of veto on certain expenditure.
All a bit vague though.
I suppose it will have to run with the great questions of our time like who shot Kennedy and how did Marilyn Monroe die!

Mate, a few years ago, I was a shareholder of a business and I didn’t find out that level of detail about how the business operates even after I had bought a large chunk of it.
