    I will say that I don’t blame you for being sceptical of information that isn’t public. It’s just that I know where the talk is coming from and a show of unity doesn’t dispel it. Anyone can swallow pride to appear united if they think it will help with the fans, while hoping that it might rectify any splits. As I have said, I hope it does work.

    It may have been an error of judgement, but going to appear with the AfD (who have members who joke about Anne Frank being gassed to death and deny the Holocaust) to echo their propaganda doesn’t exactly dispel those suspecting his far-right sympathies.

    And it shows it’s not just snot as you claimed.

    I think what I have been told is more reliable for an indication of what’s going on than a show. I am just hoping the attempt to show unity, despite it all, will kick some heads into gear and stop with the hostility behind the scenes.

    Butler is a young manager and has made mistakes. There has been deserved criticism, but sometimes not constructive criticism from some people, who have seemed dead set on him being an ‘imbecile’ and seem more bothered about being proved right on that. I am just pleased that we have had a start of what looks like a return to form, even with defensive errors needing to be stamped out. This league is the 6th tier for a reason, so such mistakes will be more common.

    Someone was fooled by the show.

    My hope is that the attempt made some not so sharp people realise they’re better together and working as a team, but I am aware (from more than one source) that things have not been rosy, to say the least, recently.

    It’s exciting if anything else?

    I remember when we were struggling to score, and having 0-0s with a back 5, there were complaints that we were too negative and statements that people would be happy with 4-3 wins because of the entertainment. We get more of that and there are still moans and groans.

    Criticism is fair enough for game management, but we still won.

    It’s worrying that it’s being entertained at all, and that destroys trust in anyone considering it. They might not be so sharp.

    I am surprised the low crowd didn’t bring 414 out of the woodwork, but I guess the win was enough to silence him until Saturday at least.

    I know we live in a world where truth is fast becoming whatever most people are willing to believe rather than anything backed up by actual evidence but in my humble opinion, this is all nonsense.

    The only tangible shred of evidence the bloke on twitter/X has provided is a link to Wikipedia page detailing what went on with myfootballclub 12 (TWELVE) years ago.

    The website linked to the Wiki page (www.myfootballclub.co.uk) times out and seems abandoned, I can’t find an active site on the wayback machine (internet archive) for at least the last 6 years. Their Facebook page detailing their sponsorship of the might Slough Town hasn’t been updated since 2020.

    By the 2012-13 season they had just 1300 members (source: The Guardian, interview with founder Will Brooks in 2017) hardly enough people to buy a football club at £35 a pop

    According to the FCA website mutuals public register, Myfootball Club Society Limited (30275R) was deregistered on 17th March 2014.

    I stress I have no knowledge of the inner working of the club so could always be wrong but on balance, based on the information I can find (and until anyone presents evidence to the contrary), this smells a lot like bovine excrement to me.

    I agree. There have been whisperings of what is happening and none other than this guy on twitter have mentioned myfootballclub. As you say, myfootballclub has been quiet for years and I don’t know why it would restart now or why anyone would think it would be beneficial to the club or themselves.

    There were past rumours under Hilton that had merit, but those came from people with some club links and Hilton had a Company’s House record that stank, giving reasons for concern. This doesn’t seem to have any trail beyond that twitter account.

    Cheers Siderite I see what you mean.

    This is all rumour, it must be stressed. Could well be part of the wild guesswork from people hearing things and basing on grains of truth.

    Not sure if this is allowed, but this is the rumour being referenced. I will add that this is all a rumour so far as I know, so I am not claiming any knowledge on this bit.

    There’s more to it than that. 64 did give some hints when he spoke of the piggy who wants to be most equal. This is what is driving the claims of hostility.

    We seem to have a cushion to midtable, which is good and a surprise since we were told this was our limit based on preseason games.

    The term hostile comes from those who have heard or been told some details that make it appear as such. Without wanting to delve further to risk libel.

    I wonder which one is spearheading this current situation. Awaywego seems happy, but will he be once that comes out?

    I understand change may need to happen to progress, but Michelle’s efforts deserve more respect surely. Surely it can be handled differently than what is seemingly happening, according to rumours.

    Either way, he should have known how it would appear. And palling with the AfD doesn’t help.

    Tbf, much of it involves legitimate questions being asked over this Unity group. Questions that shouldn’t cause anger and would benefit anyone who wants to know more, including those interested in joining. Yet this group have lost their rag over that.

    Welcome. What brought you to support the Iron? Out of interest Have you managed to make it across to the UK to see a game in person? Was Trent McLenahan criminally underused?

    I guess they find the timing to be deliberate and some comments could be taken as barbs at the Unity group.

    At least one of the nutters threw a tantrum and resigned from the Israeli government.

    Personal grievances have coloured it from the start and Stuart Maw’s attacks on the Trust has created division in the fanbase.

    I have no issue with this Unity Group doing raffles for away travel, but it would need to be transparent and that hasn’t been the case to date. They sold their fundraising as a bit more than their travel subsidies and it all seemed to be about praising the Maws. I don’t really see why this can’t be done through the Trust and it seems to be too tied up with some egos.

    Trump’s got his crypto coin now. It’s like having David Hilton as president with these obvious cons.

    Thanks for that CMC. I couldn’t remember where or when it was posted so big help.
    Correct hence I’m not jumping on the Stu’s a predator bandwagon. Unsavoury perhaps but not the extreme it’s being made out to be. I haven’t changed my stance particularly, unlike some.

    On the other thread you’re bemoaning the unsavoury nature of it as being chalked down as social media naivety. The first paragraph of that post could easily be interpreted as you bemoaning others for not taking such concerns seriously when your concerns were just you laughing along with him. You’re still using one person’s comments to represent many who have spoken about this nature of him.

    And, no, it may not be in the realms of Jimmy Saville, but it is sleazy. That sticks in the craw when he was being so self-righteous, which is why it exploded then and not when you shared it while he wasn’t stirring the pot.
