One thing I expected above else from Darren is that we would get honesty, integrity and no bias from him above all else. Sad to say, the evidence of the season so far has shown this not to be the case. He appears to be a yes man for Lai and Jenkins, he says that he's happy with poor perfomances, talks up players but doesn't reflect that with actions and he picks players based on who they are, rather than what form they're in and/or what they bring to the team/position.
Add to that his baffling decisions on substitutions and I have to admit that I expected more from him than has been delivered so far. I just hope that the influence of Graeme Jones increases so as to address some of these failings.
I think that is a harsh assessment, calling his honest and integrity into question. You don't know anymore than the rest of us or do you?
He is an employee of an organisation, like you no doubt are and I was. You have to toe the party line in public even if you don't like or agree with decisions. But, who knows what he says behind closed doors and how he has influenced things, who knows without him it could be worse. Additionally, he is trying to hold the club together and unite it in what are difficult circumstances that he has inherited.
Would you have him resign and we go back to minus square 10? What then? And how committed would the next incumbent be to do as you want, and the next one and the next one as they all throw the towel in or are sacked because they openly disagree with the owner? Where then?
No one is immune to criticism, but let it be based on fact, because I haven't heard him be anything other than honest, there are parameters he has to work within, he has the best interest of the club at heart without doubt, but it doesn't suit everybody, obviously.
No doubt your comments were borne out of frustration, which is understandable, but I hope you would reconsider calling his honesty and integrity into question
