Our fans do have a habit of letting us down don’t they? Now it’s unreasonable to ask questions about whether or not owners have the funds needed
I trust that the new regime has the funds to stabilise the club and don’t think it’s unreasonable for him to ask such questions, given our recent historyAndy Comfort is good at his job. It was a reasonable question, one which he asked on behalf of fans. Elliott made a fool of himself.

Asking questions was what we should have been doing with Hilton. There’s nothing wrong with asking questions. It allows answers to be out in the open, as much as possible, for fans to have trust and to allow owners to be accountable. It’s not necessarily to attack them.
The fans abusing will then moan when journalists don’t give us the time of day when we need them.

Elliott went about it the wrong way, no need to play the smart arse, this is serious stuff and he handled that part of the interview poorly IMO. Fans criticising Andy Comfort need to grow up.

It’s a very pertinent question when you consider that his interviewee had been of the opinion that without Hilton the club couldn’t possibly survive ,and expressed it almost daily

I don’t think anyone should be happy till we’ve driven him and Turnbull from the club and not forgetting Sharp either.
I’m very happy to have all 3 with us, sorry if that disappoints you but I think they all have something to offer. Supporting the previous chairman does not necessarily indicate agreement with his plans and actions. Would you like to suggest your preferred alternatives.

I am happy in this moment, that we have a new chairperson, who is actually an Iron fan. So I won’t encourage any interrogation unless something actually appears to be wrong.
I will not ask others to do the same, but please go a little easier for now. Whatever happens The Iron must survive.
Good luck to the lads for the Brackly match. Hopefully things have happed behind the scenes that will make them more settled now.

I trust Michelle has assembled around her the people she trusts and values to take the club forward. That’ll do for me.

Seen several comments (good & bad) about this interview between @andycomfort & @simonelliott33.
1) Anyone sending abusive messages to Andy needs to have a word with themselves.
2) Andy’s ‘unnecessary’ question was ABSOLUTELY the right question to ask as a journalist. (1/3) https://t.co/dPkWFwKsIK

Ah well a journalist asked a question. Some didn’t mind it some seem to have taken great umbridge.
Simon isn’t bothered so can we all move on. Thanks.

it is time to stop posting about finances and let them get on with it because that is their problem not ours.
Get what you’re saying Mick, but the lack of finances during the last “takeover” ultimately became “our” problem.
But agreed, a lot of work to be done and the new team need to be allowed to get on with it.

We need to keep both the stadium AND the current team.
It’s a very big ask.4 users thanked author for this post.
It doesn’t disappoint me Cass we all have different views, I just can’t forgive Turnbull for threatening the protesters with police action after telling me personally he was in it for the fans, and I don’t trust Sharp if he gets fed up he’s made it quite clear he wants the money he puts in back
Two things in response:-
There is little doubt in my mind that LT was a mouthpiece and spoke under instruction. I’d consider what he told you represents his true feelings.
If Ian Sharpe loaned the money to pay the wages then of course he would expect it back. We don’t know the terms of the arrangement do we?3 users thanked author for this post.

Encourage? You were very abusive to supporters and this forum when there was a lot that appeared to be and was proven to be wrong.

The money the club received from Ian Sharp was a loan, it was entered into the clubs accounts as a loan, I know this to be a fact and have seen it.
It was never a gift, it was never intended to be a gift.
There’s only ever been one person that ever claimed that it wasn’t a loan and that was Hilton and he has been proved more than once to be economical with the truth!4 users thanked author for this post.
How is it,if you look back,Cassidystash says..supporting the previous chairman…
Yet,in the next post,Lord Kitchener says..I am happy in this moment,that we have a new chairperson. ? Wiping the name woman from our vocabulary (pregnant person anyone?) surely isn’t the way to go?1 user thanked author for this post.
