condemned the Club’s current running and infrastructure and hopes the
incumbents’ Kingco will steer the ship back on course:
“The whole infrastructure’s got to be looked

five years before it’s anywhere near what it was.”

“The whole footballing side, the scouting
department, the youth academy. The staff in a place like this, it’s not
anything like it used to be. All these things have to be addressed.”
