Ken Anderson - update.

Putting aside the obvious illogicality of that statement, perhaps the "previously" he is referring to should have been at the beginning of the season?

Saturday’s game against Queens Park Rangers was one played in terrible conditions, but despite that, your support was as fantastic and it was superb to see, particularly in the closing stages when we were chasing a winning goal, how your backing drove the team on.

The match also marked the first time this season that we have fielded an unchanged side, only reiterating the manager’s belief in his group of players.

Come full time, I think a draw was probably a fair result and a reflection of the game as a whole, but after having led for so long and the determined back-to-the-wall efforts the team put in defending our lead, we were all a little disappointed come the final whistle.

That said, if someone had said before the Sheffield Wednesday game that we would take four points from a possible six, we would have certainly taken it.

As I have previously said, this league has improved since we were here two years ago and the quality of the opposition and the players, many of which have played at Premier League level, is extremely impressive alongside the huge monies being spent by the big clubs.

The competitiveness, ups and downs and twists and turns of the league results week-in, week-out means that in my opinion, consistency is what we must aim to achieve as has been the case with Wolves this season.

With this in mind, I have made the following observations. Firstly, Cardiff have only scored one Championship goal in October, but are still second in the league.

Middlesbrough, with no wins in their last five games, are still only five points off the top six, while Sheffield Wednesday have suffered four defeats in five games.

Leeds had lost their last three games before the weekend, Reading have only had one win in seven Championship games with four defeats and for QPR, Saturday’s match was their fourth draw in five games and they have not won away since February.

Finally, prior to Saturday, Hull had gone 25 away games without a win, Sunderland have taken four points from their last ten games and have no wins in 11 and Burton have endured three defeats in last four games and have gone five matches without scoring.

Every team in the Sky Bet Championship will have a bad patch this season and it just so happened that ours came at the start of the campaign.

What we now need to do is to achieve consistent performance levels and results, but we must remember that there are still 99 points to play for between now and the end of the season and l truly believe that we have a squad capable of climbing up the league between now and then.

As always, l urge everyone to come along and get behind the team to help us achieve this on a weekly basis as your support can make all the difference.

Finally, l was made aware of Queens Park Rangers’ website’s comments on ‘Three Players To Watch’ prior to the weekend’s game.

l put this down to mind games however – the players certainly should take no notice of articles such as this and should perhaps even take it as a compliment, particularly as David Wheater as he arguably played one of the best games of his time at the club on Saturday.

One way or another, their claims about our players’ weaknesses were left unfounded come the final whistle and that is testament to the hard work that the team put in at the training ground.

This, coupled with the superb efforts of Karl Henry alongside the return of Josh Vela and Sammy Ameobi – three players who have felt like new signings in recent weeks – has me confident that the results will continue to come as we head towards the end of the year.

Elsewhere, we expect to hear the verdict on the ACV later this week and I will update you all as and when we have news.

We also have a number of offers available for supporters including £10 free personalisation on home shirts and any tickets purchased this week for midweek performances of our upcoming pantomime costing just £10 per person.

Kind regards,

Ken

So 2 weeks ago it was "Ignore the stats, they're irrelevant" but now it's "Here are some stats for you to back up my mental claims that we are still in with a shout of making the play-offs."

He's fucking deluded.

Add to the fact he's come and stated that Parkinson is doing a good job, says it all about the man, potless, aimless, and no interest in the town or club.

Parkinson got us promoted when everyone thought we’d sink further. With no money. Under an embargo. Uncertain off field problems.

The man has worked wonders and it’s just a shame that we can’t back him with some cash, as that is the difference in this league. Other teams have more money, therefore better players


Any manager would struggle given the current financial state

Parkinson had money when he managed both Hull and Charlton in this league, still managed to fuck that up at both clubs.

What's  the panto KA mentions? 

ALI BABA and the FORTY THIEVES.

New statement out just now, Anderson has pulled the plug on any new investment.

The man is a complete megolamaniac.

What the fuck is this shit...?

Are you now working as a salesman for the FT? All I get is a link to their subscription packages.

Sorry. 

Wrong link.

Here's the correct one:

Utter utter tool of a man, Anderson not you Breaders, only a week ago he was flaunting the club to the world and his wife, fucking moonman.

You were just trying to fool us into thinking you read the FT.

It didn't work.

(Defensively) I might do......you never know.

Anyway, back to Anderson.

This is some weird shit.

What does he think he'll gain by this?

Were there any potential investors or is it all bullshit?

Has all the (alleged) coke abuse finally taken its toll?

I can't fathom why he'd make this statement.

Fair comment but be careful what you say Martin. I am very tempted to quote some of the numerous posts I made on the subject of Toadface's attitude towards new investors but it would only reignite the stream of personal abuse I got for saying what I thought. (It will be interesting to see if the same people direct similar comments towards you for saying this.)
The statement suggests that cutting off the negotiations "is in the club's interest" although I'm still trying to work out on what planet getting new money into the club is bad for business, especially in a situation where the owner isn't willing to put any of his own money in.
Expect a fabricated condemnation of the potential investors' character and motives or some other spurious justification to be published shortly - along with comments on the ACV being a barrier to getting into even more debt "new investment".

Could it be as simple as:

A few interested parties have had a quick nose round as part of the DD process, seen just how far up shit creek we actually are financially and gone "Fuck that!"

Thus leaving KA with the stark realisation that he's stuck with a pup.

Which in turn makes him quite angry because it's getting to the point where someone is going to have to start paying for things or face the wrath of HMRC and the EFL....and he don't wanna do that, innit?

So he now needs someone to vent at.

And that'd be us on sites like this and Iles in the BN?

I dunno...

Perhaps its the old, 'I have so many interested parties but don't need to sell' tactic.

Makes us look less of a wounded animal then we are and so gives Ken a better negotiating position?

That makes sense too.

I've just  heard from someone very close to KA , that he has been asked to join the UK Brexit negotiation team, as a special advisor.
