Khaldoon's End of Season Review 2025

PPT said:
The reality is: As fans, we get radio silence from the club for 364 days a year. We have a CEO in Soriano who appears to have taken a Trappist monk style vow of silence. The club refuse to communicate and interact with the fans on any meaningful basis on any important topic - and those thoughts are echoed on this forum almost on a daily basis. Then on one day of the year, we get a circa 20 minute, highly choreographed, rehearsed Q&A from Khaldoon and some people, think it's fantastic. It's not. The overall communication between the club and fans is absolutely abysmal, and has been for years. Yeah, I like Khaldoon, I like his style, everybody does. But is that really, the best the club can do? Obviously, it is.

Find it hard to believe that this is a legit post. The club is one of the most engaging in the PL with fans. On the other hand they are a multinational, multi billion pound operation. Do you seriously expect them to contact you personally for your opinion on something, or to update you on internal club matters? Get real

I think the debate is centred around some fans taking more from Khaldoon’s interviews than others.

It seems weird to have such strong views on their banality though. They aren’t compulsory to watch. If you know they are banal, there’s little point in watching or commenting on them.

You need to get real.
No, I don’t expect or want them to engage personally. And yes, I know I’m a customer. I would hope they would implement channels and ways of communicating with their customers when they have long standing and legitimate concerns regarding ticket prices, away game ticket allocation, new season ticket availability, tickets being made available to third party ticketing outlets, before match going supporters. Parking. Public transport to and from the stadium, singing areas etc. But they haven’t have they? If you think that the City Matters sham and half a dozen online questionnaires every season is good communication, then I’m really happy for you. Crack on fella!

Exactly, I'll watch it but I'm not expecting him to tell us the answer to the meaning of life (42 if anyone is interested) but then you'll get people who know there won't be anything earth shattering said but will still watch and then tell everyone how boring it was. I guess they're just "look at me posts", but they're even more boring then the 'interview' will be.

I used to get excited by them and enjoyed hearing about plans for expansion and global domination. But we have done it so it's hard for him to excite us with words now!

He can't talk about the charges.

The north stand is under construction and I will be interested to hear if there's anything said about a home end, pricing and that sort of thing but imagine there won't be yet.

Otherwise it's just a glowing review of where we are and what we have achieved which hopefully includes consecutive doubles!

No club is perfect but one is more perfect than others.

If you read PPT’s last post, you can kind of see why some fans want more info and I can actually see that way of thinking.

However, Khaldoon is never going to address those topics in his review of the season, so whilst it’s irritating to them, it seems like a process they have to go through each year in the weeks before the video drops.

There might be a line that he throws out that will energise us too. People in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks kind of thing.

They were at their best early on when we were developing rapidly. Now, as you say, it’s more benign as we’ve overtaken 99% of other clubs.

Hopefully he does a special video after the charges have been dismissed.

Things could be far worse.

We could be as badly run as Chelsea. We were taken over in 2008 and have had just four managers in that time in Hughes, Mancini, Pellegrini and Guardiola.

Imagine how many Chelsea have had?

Didn't we have Kidd as well?

On the pitch. Without a doubt.
Off the pitch, in regards to the topics I have mentioned it’s pretty much bang average. Very few if any PL club’s actually give a fuck about their fans. We are no different

Depends - I’ve found them very helpful (& sympathetic) on many occasions. Do all opinions count??

Of course they do.
But sometimes people need to take the blue tinted specs off. The club rarely, support the fans. In recent times they have supported Liverpool fans more than they have us.

I have contacted the Club several times regarding the bloody awful Metrolink service, never even had the courtesy of a reply. Exactly the same when they took orders and payment for the Centenary shirt that they couldn’t supply, complaint letter to the Club completely ignored. They don’t give a fuck about us.

Performance is relative though... Pellegrini's last season was painfully depressing. It was only due to the sheer good luck of other results going our way that we qualified for the CL. Otherwise pep would have rocked with no CL qualification.
