I never abused him. I never even swore as far as I remember. I’ll double check but don’t think I did. I just questioned why he wasn’t doing what he was supposed to be doing.
A tad harsh maybe but not really abusive. There some on twitter who overstepped the mark though, some of it was a bit much.

I think it was more about what he didn’t say than what he actually did say. I and many other people just felt like he was keeping us fans at arms length and was following the club spin and people obviously didn’t react well to it.
Anyway, all that’s done with now. If he keeps a dialogue open to fans, requests board meetings and relays information to the masses then fair play to him.
That’s all anybody could and should expect.

It would be helpful and circumvent future misunderstanding if he increased dialogue with supporters and provided regular updates / bulletins about what he’s doing in his role.

it’s a badly thought out tweet and clearly shows somebody who’s been put under a lot of pressure over thing that are not in his remit. Why is it that people think he has to go to the board after every game and slag them off and the team to prove he’s one of “US” He cannot do that ,he cannot do it publicly either ,if he was to do that he’d have to resign,he cannot really do that as he was elected into the post and that would be a big issue If he resigned would that hard earned position be taken away by the board?
He’s there to convey things to the board on the fans behalf not stamp his feet on our behalf.The idea that he can go in screaming sack the manger after every bad result or force Swann to resign is laughable.
They know most fansd want Swann out, they know a lot of fans want Hill out. Expecting him to make a statement every few days is ridiculous, he certainly should have worded that tweet better but I think it may have read ” at present there’s no new information ,as soon as some is made available I will pass it on”? Wrighty is OK,he’s fan we’ve had a beer with and a good lad. He is just finding out that you cannot be on a board and the guy who shouts the odds in forums, most of us would struggle

I still find it odd that he has chosen to protect his tweets; fair enough if he has a personal account but as the fans’ representative it would seem reasonable to have an open account (completely separate from his personal one) to communicate with fans in relation to his role on the board.

I’d also add in relation to the abuse Neil’s received on social media, despite what anyone thinks about Hill, he doesn’t deserve the kind of abuse he’s had either. There’s a fair amount of hypocrisy going on from what I’ve seen. Hill failed miserably but a lot of the abuse he’s received is out of order IMO.

‘Mind, something about Hill & his attitude in the press really pressed my buttons.’
I’d wager Neil’s abusers might say that about him and would use it as an excuse Ferrite.

Hill was a disaster he was going to come in have a fitter squad and get us out of the mire.
Senior players would not train so he then threw in youngsters who were clearly not good enough or ready. We regularly failed to win, draw or even have a shot on or off target. This ensured our relegation from the Football League.
He then brought in his own players, we won one game which turned against us when Yeovil brought their number 15 on. The same frailties as last season became apparent once again left back and left half. He also started pumping the ball long.
He then brought in two loanees Apter looked okay, the other midfielder was extremely poor, as was Wallace. These inexperienced players replaced seasoned professionals who Hill brought in.
Against Halifax we were slow, not up for it, failed to have more than one shot in the first half and managed not much more in the second, though the team looked better with the substitutions.
Nothing had changed from last season despite Hill bringing in his own players. Relegation again was and still is a real possibility. All the good work off the field was being undone.
Then two radio interviews sealed it for me, McMahon blaming the players after Bromley and the other on Monday by Hill which was pure arrogance.

‘Ernest Pawn has called this right.’
Or Neil and Lee called it and he concurred? It would be interesting to know how it played out
