Poorly thought out that there was no link to the voting process within the society App or on the web site. At least that I could find? As wellfan says it appears the only way to vote was by accessing a link contained in just one of numerous communications. So easy for dinosaurs like me to misplace or delete. In all the reminder EMails I wonder why no-one thought to include the link? In truth I just gave up. I suspect others did as well. No surprise that the motion passed given the low turnout and the effort that was put in to pushing the 'yes' agenda. I do hope Society funds don't disappear into the new training ground facility or some vanity project that brings little or no tangible return to the Club. As a sceptical Society Member I tend to agree with Spiderpig. I remain to be convinced that the whole change of approach was not driven by the Club Board as a means of accessing cheap finance. Essential that all funds redirected are secured by being added to the existing Loan amount and do not disappear by way of Donation. The Society's silence on issues that have affected fans this season as well as costing the Club thousands does little to convince me of their Independence.

I’m a member and, given that we’re bombarded with emails about all sorts of things, I’d argue there’s a degree of information overload fatigue. I found it genuinely difficult to keep track of what exactly we were being asked to vote on, the details of the proposals, when the voting deadline was and, among the barrage of emails, identify which one actually contained the voting link. Lessons need to be learned here.

Im not a member either but 96% in favour on a 9% turnout, the optics for that are not good, i suspect that very few if any people knew the vote was happening. I get the impression that the WS leadership is not as democratic as it should be, a few well meaning individuals doing as they are told by the club board, their communication with the membership seems very poor or non existant.

The vote was passed overwhelmingly, with 96% in favour. Disappointingly the turnout was only 9%. I'm not a member but someone I know tried to vote but couldn't because they couldnt find a link. Is that why the turnout was so low?

He was sacked from that job as well, so is currently unemployed.

The Aberdeen job would be a great fit for him. back home in six months.

You could well be right. He might be the German Tony Watt.

I am sure he has, as do all managers when they make bad calls. Definitely made mistakes that day but I feel we are making steady progress and once lowry and Williams back will be a lot stronger COYW

Just noticed he had left regensburg. Ye not convinced that dons would go for him. He done us a turn and brought us a great assistant. However we owe him big danke schen as if he hadn't left we wouldn't have got JBA

I think we got lucky with Wimmer leaving. I’m not convinced he’d have been a success, his English wasn’t great and him saying “goal shots” every week was getting a bit annoying. He did give us Fadinger though which was a bonus and a mad assistant who shared beer with the fans. Thats always a positive but I understand he was a disaster when he went back to Germany

I think he a bit of a maverick. He didn't stay long with the club he left us for and jumped to and Assistant Managers job at Holstein Keil. That doesn't happen often, giving up a managers job for an assistant managers job.

Might not need to. The only official explanation was "major family issues". That could be anything from a sick relative to a misbehaving kid to a rocky marriage. All of which could be resolved by now.

Very strange. Would he bring his family over with him?

That could be fun and games if he got it.

This will be a real test of whether Alfred has learned any lessons from the Celtic game.

I hope so

Ok, best wishes

Yeah, its funny hearing the Celtic fans saying he's shite because he rebuffed them. They also cite his record so far in France, but it was going to take time and the 3 losseshave been to Lyon, Lille and Marseille who are all in the top 5.

It’s nice to see his name mentioned in these circles and nice to hear the meltdown of Celtic fans who previously said he wasn’t good enough or experienced enough to manage Celtic now saying it’s disgraceful they didn’t get him…… but I don’t see him leaving Toulouse. Not at the moment anyway. I’d like to see how he does there given a full season.

No way Palace will take a punt on a manager with zero EPL experience, and more importantly, zero experience of rescuing an EPL team. Far too much money involved.

Jens will see out the season in France, if there is an opportunity to move on he will consider it then.

Don’t do it Jens stay where you are the EPL are ruthless at sacking managers you won’t get the luxury of time as you try your style of play and the players. It’s up to Jens no us to advise him.
