If Neghat Khan is in charge, the city id well and truly f**ked!
If brains were dynamite and hers exploded, it wouldn't ruffle her hair.
As a local Labour Party activist of many, many years - decades in fact - my wife knows Mrs Khan quite well Captain, and holds an opinion of her which could be described as directly opposite to yours.

Having never met her I can't really offer a view, but I do trust my wife's judgement, unquestionably. I was impressed however that Mrs Khan wasted little time in sorting out the impasse over the CG freehold issue after taking office.

Thing is Otis, I’d say most people are now manufactured to pick ideology over people. You see that in every part of society and politics so any question that someone might actually be good at their job is blurred by narratives. I didn’t vote Labour for many reasons but we owe to ourselves to at least stop being pawns in the game. We are after all in it together, stakeholders.

My concern with starmer for instance is more about free speech, not what political party he represents.

I have a degree of respect for most people who enter local politics Sammy. From my observations, for everyone who does so for self-serving reasons, many more want to make a positive impact in their communities, despite it being a largely thankless task, or frequently worse.

Our area has some excellent local councillors, many who just want to improve the area regardless of the colour or not of their rosette.

Which makes your earlier opinion of her an interesting one.
I was harking back to earlier in the summer, when she seemed to forget that the council and the Club had previously issued a joint statement that because of commercial sensitivity there would be no further statements about the City Ground negotiations until the negotiations were settled and all statements would be jointly agreed.
She then issued a unilateral statement, which I thought was very unwise.
But you are right: I had no basis for my statement which I withdraw.

I'd argue that the freehold issue needed someone to step-in and show some decisiveness in order to break what appeared - due to a scarcity of any information - to be deadlock. She did that, and as a consequence NFFC knows exactly where it stands.

So it’s the first time he’s actually committed to a number publicly. There’s a very good reason for his commitment given the purchase of the lease in the near future. I’d just like to see the PT development as a magnificent showpiece for a club that absolutely deserves the best, no compromises.

In completely unrelated news, EM may have a thing (and by 'thing' I mean a strictly business preference you dirty-minded rascals) for strong, bitchy businesswomen. A few years ago, our CEO was a lawyer (Lina Souloukou) with a reputation of a real iron lady; she is now the CEO of AS Roma. Yesterday, he appointed as our new CEO again a woman, with no experience whatsoever in football, but a reputation of a real authoritarian bitch in business (she was a top executive in a rival media conglomerate).

He's also promoting a young female coach who works in the academy in a more administrative role in the academy. In a line of business as male-dominated as Greek football (and football in general I guess), all this is rather surprising.
