But by extension, that is blaming the managers entirely for what went wrong for them here. Completely disingenuous. He is revising history by completely missing out the 4 months of transfer restrictions at the start of Molesley's reign, which were caused by him and which undermined the manager's attempt to really improve his squad. Did Molesley cause the transfer sanctions? No, he didn't. Ron Martin did, because he does not have the money to fund a competitive football club consistently yet continues to cling on so that he can win his pot of golf. To blame the manager, which is exactly what he is doing through him claiming that he appointed the wrong people, is tone deaf. Mark Molesley was never provided with the environment or tools to be a success here, and that is on Ron Martin.
I have all the ingredients, I just need my chef.He got Halford, Ranger and Holmes mate. What more could he possibly want
I love how he blames the managers he chose, but fails to mention that one of them in particular was hamstrung by transfer restrictions for his first 4 months in the job when the squad badly needed strengthening, which was all Ron Martin's doing.
The inability to actually take any real responsibility for this is astounding.
The usual stuff from Ron really.
No mention of Stan. Mentioned Tom Lawrence and what a good job he is doing.
Pleaded for unity. Talking to managerial candidates and hopeful of appointing someone by the end of next week. He described the team who will selecting the manager as a "committee".
He admitted he'd got previous managerial appointments wrong and that PB perhaps wasn't as motivated as he thought and didn't need the job due to the stage of life he's now at.
Oh....and he admitted that he may have taken his eye off the ball, particularly during lockdown, having previously always liked to micro manage the club.
I thought he told Chris Phillips recently that he hadn't taken his eye off the ball?!
Christ I forgot he used that analogyI have all the ingredients, I just need my chef.
we will see when he has been in charge for the full season wont we .LOL. He’s been in charge 3 matches.
I’d suggest in two or three years’ time tbh. We really need to adjust our sights to the longer term.we will see when he has been in charge for the full season wont we .
All the ingredients for grade A poison ....has he seen the quality of this squad! Absolutely shockingI have all the ingredients, I just need my chef.
Molesley out!LOL. He’s been in charge 3 matches.
Wouldn't look too much into that, bloke is a complete weirdo. 'Chairman alliance' or something like that. Remember on a previous call he was trying to say to True Blue that Ron's served us well because at least were not bust...Interesting how Simon Jordan showed plenty of empathy towards Ron. Simon is no shrinking violet and not scared of asking very challenging questions - he’ll rinse someone given a sniff….
Well we’re not bust are we?Wouldn't look too much into that, bloke is a complete weirdo. 'Chairman alliance' or something like that. Remember on a previous call he was trying to say to True Blue that Ron's served us well because at least were not bust...
In a nutshell, this is pretty much where most of us should be thinking. Nice one JD.Well we’re not bust are we?
Ultimately it’s Ron’s cash that has been put in, over and above club generated income, and will continue to be put in.
Without the extra cash we wouldn’t be here.
Like it or not it’s a fact.
Before you jump on my comments…..
Has the club income and Ron’s extra cash been spent wisely?
No, of course not.
Ultimately Ron is at fault for the managerial appointments, and lack of control/due diligence.
Not wanting to bring politics into it I agree is a sad fact that these days often you have to be at one extreme at the other- if you're not completely on side then your against us- it works both ways of course but makes somewhere in between sometimes very uncomfortable as you can get it from both sides :-) !!.I’m seeing the Ron/anti Ron debate along similar lines to Biden/Trump and vax/anti-vax. Many of those on a certain side of the fence (either side) with a blind belief and ignoring facts. I just listened to the interview. Did you?

Ron's words on talkSPORT were a clever way of making it look like he was taking some blame, whilst in reality actually blaming his managers. "They were **** but I appointed them so it's my fault". But is it as simple as "they were ****"? Because he was also careful to omit pertinent details. For example, the fact that Mark Molesley spent his first 4 months at the club being hamstrung by transfer restrictions and a registration embargo at a time when the squad desperately needed an overhaul, and that MM and other managers had to manage players who were being paid late or were still awaiting deferred furlough monies. Whose fault was that? It certainly wasn't the fault of those managers. You can't put all of the blame on managers, or even suggest the mistake was appointing them in the first place, when you're giving them an almost impossible environment to work in.In a nutshell, this is pretty much where most of us should be thinking. Nice one JD.
NEGATIVE MOLESLEYLOL. He’s been in charge 3 matches.
