Keates Interview
 
A few things struck me.

1). No directors present for the new manager press conference. First time I've not seen. Harris and Mills at one of these. I know they have jobs but given the tight timelines they imposed on the DSA I expected them to drop everything and be there.
2) it was left to Keates to awkwardly announce Davies was back and Flynn had left. Totally unprofessional behaviour.
3) Dixie was asked about heading up the interview process. He said he didn't know he had headed up anything. Clearly this club legend has been thrown under the bus by a spineless board without the bottle to attend the press conference.

At least the 'cringworthy' Peter Jones was not on the mike sucking up to Keates this time around!!!

Re: Keates Interview
 
The media team lad too, got to feel a bit for him. The board obviously gave him duff information which he then puts out there, naively of course. Then they ask him to chair this awkward cringeworthy interview on his own.

It was a self preservation act from the start. You kbrw it in the announcement when they said dixie had chose him and wst board ratified it. Absolving the club club board of any blame

All very bizarre . No doubt now that both Boards have lost it big time. They are effectively finished as purposeful entities.

I'm increasingly of the view the board are hidden in a bunker somewhere. Maybe the one at Borras Airfield?

Re: Keates Interview
 
Quote from the Keates announcement.

“The recruitment process to appoint Dean as our first team manager [B]was headed up by former manager and player, now club president, Dixie McNeil[/B] on behalf of the Wrexham Supporters Trust. Dixie commented on the appointment saying: “I wish Dean all the very best of luck for the rest of the season. It’s really nice that he wanted to come back to the club and I hope that the Wrexham supporters will get behind Dean.”

Watch from 2.50 onwards....

More lies from the club.

Was very uncomfortable and awkward viewing all the way through. Especially when Keates had to announce himself that Flynn had left.

Board are damed if they show up “look at arrogance appointing a manager fans didn’t want”

Damed if they don’t show up “board couldn’t even face the fans” “bet they couldn’t get time off work”

People wanted a football man to appoint the manager so Dixie led the process and not Spencer.

People wanted a full time assistant manager (rightly so) we get Andy Davies back and people are fuming.

I don’t agree with the board decisions over the last 12 months but they are dammed if they do and dammed if they don’t.

Do you not have access to the interview before?

Dixie clearly states he didn’t lead any process. The board didn’t have to appoint keates. They could of chosen someone else.... surely then there are no calls of arrogance then???

Have to disagree with this. I believe on this occasion fans have quite rightly pointed out inconsistencies in the statement released and are pointing out the board were absent to answer to this and left it to what can only be described as a fall guy in Dixie and despite being titles a media manager, a bloke who is either misinformed, or unprepared to conduct the press meeting.
It was awful to.watch the media lad could, should have given a little better intro where he would have saved keates having to awkwardly reveal the assistant manager situation ...shoddy at best

I agree 100% the board should have attended in my opinion.

But fans have called it the Spencer Harris show but then say he’s hiding to answer difficult questions when he takes a back seat. Let’s be honest none of the media team or leader would have asked a difficult question today anyway!

Let's just concentrate all our efforts in supporting the manager and the team in leading us up the table. These rants against the board in some cases are justified, however they seem to have become an obsession with some. The place to sort things out are at an AGM or EGM where we can have our say in an official capacity.

They won't be happy until the board and Keates are run out of town. These are the ones that will take over the club.

They said Dixie headed up the recruitment process, Dixie clearly states he didn't and you still go with the line that he did to defend. It speaks volumes they weren't there for this appointment.

This has been the problem though hasn't it.... the board have operated as a we know best and see the club as a battle ground between us and them... as a game to win. Nobody can win with that mindset... certainly not the club.

Oh yes. 100%, its most definitely a corner they have backed themselves into by making continued poor decisions.

Baring Keates pulling off a masterstroke I cant see it going away either. Even then, with this current board as soon as things go wrong (which they inevitably will to some degree, its football) the knives will be out all over again.

The club doesn't win you are right. All the bickering and nitpicking on both sides is really tiresome for me personally, prefer us to be talking about the football.

I have contradicted anything. The board are damned if they do and damned if they don't at this point. I am not saying that is not their fault or not their doing because of decisions made, but that is the situation we are in. There was no possible way they could have presented Keates as manager and fans would have been happy. None.

Its already on this thread but the part where he stated that Dixie 'headed the process' which Dixie denies in the press conference. My comment wasn't me stating I've never been wrong on here before and I've got no idea how you came to that conclusion.

Come on Phil, even you must be fed up of all this. No focus on the football, all in fighting. Just depressing.

I dont even follow the point you are trying to make. I made zero excuses for "full grown men" I was saying that the way things are at the moment between board and fans, WHATEVER sort of conference they put out was going to be poorly received. That's all.
