The wheels might have fallen off this venture
The wheels might have fallen off this venture
“A deal agreed in principle” page taken down and ripped up..? Although from the outside the last 24 hours have been filled with our Club’s official silence (which has frustrated a lot of people), there’s no way there hasn’t been outright panic behind the scenes. Frantic emergency phone calls, disagreements, I-told-you-sos, tears and tantrums, dummies spat, etc… Perhaps the Club has seen sense or perhaps now FC100000 have glimpsed the utter contempt for them from the supporters and bailed..?

I reckon that could sum it up. Fingers crossed.

Hopefully more to come – full explanations, contrition, carpetings, sackings. Even if that particular deal is off, trust and relationships are soured for good.

I thoroughly despise everything about fc100000, but what I really can’t take is this was all done on the sly. Very underhand. This is something that should’ve been consulted with fans before anything was signed away.
Whoever tried this on, whoever’s brainchild it was, needs to take a few steps back. Even better, leave the club, tail between legs.

This is the most important point for me – if this had been shared with fans for feedback rather than seemingly being dismissed as a non-story at the AGM then we wouldn’t have seen this level of outrage. The fact that it has been conducted in this manner means either incredible naivity, a lack of respect for the fanbase or they just knew what response it would get and decided to push on in secret.
Whichever it was, it doesn’t fill me with confidence.

What the ‘slyness’ suggests to me is that certain member(s) of the board are merely paying lip-service to the idea of community and supporter involvement etc. It’s literally business as usual.

sadly there are still too many people in it for themselves, not for the club, but also maybe too much naivety from those who do care

One of the problems is that there is very little football knowledge / experience in fortress Glanford these days.
There’s a lad who lives local who’s been around, played for and managed a few big clubs. Maybe a seat on the board for him?Ditching Turnbull and replacing him with Roberts looking like a rookie move.

Honestly think those responsible for foisting that debacle on the club and supporters, particularly at the juncture should do the honourable thing and walk.

There’s a more important question: Why should he continue putting money in if his wings have been clipped so humiliatingly like this?

Probably thought the fanbase would except anything they brought along there’s being very little throwback on what they’ve introduced up to now.
Easy to see why when so many swallowed Hilton’s guff.
