Latest board statement

In the fickle and volatile world of football in which we operate.

So I am fickle and volatile am I John.   You'll be calling us vile next !!

You quote Paul Hurst as sticking by the manager ?  Don't make me laugh.  There was nothing like the feeling of animosity towards him as there is to SLADE.

If you stuck by Paul Hurst why did he leave us ?  His sly comments about Town when he went weren't about the fans were they John ??

You have basically stated that Slade is here to stay so screw you lot.

If anyone thinks they can do better then just buy the club off us.  (Fully in the knowledge we can't afford it).

So by not turning up, it is us that are making the players play not so well?  Well guess what John, players for other clubs in front of much smaller crowds manage it. It's called being professional (and having a manager that can motivate helps).

I do like the bit about trying to get the fantastic support we know we are capable of though.
I'm sure I read something similar on here by one of the better posters only last week  

Overall, it seems to me that you have called our bluffs.  You have let your personal feelings cloud your professional judgement.  And by surrounding yourself with 'yes' men you haven't been advised any different.  Well take your ball and fcuk off home John. This club will survive in one form or another without you and your two bob mates.

Your dummy is still on the floor and I am not picking it up.

Thanks. I applaud the board for making this statement cheered me up no end....

Quoted from gary_elton

Yep... the bit about building towards a team capable of a challenge for next season...  didn't someone say there was no reason why we wouldn't be challenging for play offs this season  ?   And the dissatisfaction shown by fans is not doing the club any good...   our fault then....   we need to give ourselves a smacked bottom... how dare we show disapproval...

Exactly!

Pointing the finger at others.

No mention of why they have allowed the euphoria of Promotion to vanish so quickly. Sadly they think it is down to performances on the pitch, it isnt and never is the full story. It is the total and utter failure to embrace the supporters.

Reading the statement there is yet again, no attempt to engage, just ram their views down our throat.

After 50+ years attending BP I have had enough. Right now I couldnt despise any person more than our majority shareholder  

Joke

what needs to happen here is that someone from the club needs to front up for an interview and answer some of the questions that arise from this statement. It has to be an interview that is recorded live. Maybe a good idea for one of the directors to hold a press conference with the Tel and Humberside.

Be great to hear Matt Dean interview Fenty. Can't imagine anyone at the club would be up for it though.

Add me to 50 year list. Not getting season ticket next season  if slade still here. Just pick and chose the odd game to go to. Sad it's come to this but going to BP has just become a habit and one that won't be too hard to break.

hm No point is there all they do is tell us lies or what they think we want to hear.The only thing Mr Fenty has got right in his tenure is the uncanny knack of hoodwinking and appeasing the supporters most of the time to head off the inevitable sh1tstorm. That has now come full circle the storms here and starting Saturday he will reap the whirlwind he has got this totally wrong and in his long line of clangers keeping Slade will be his biggest. The Club are on a hiding to nothing Saturday even a win won`t make this go away anytime soon the lids off Pandora`s box and I see no way back.

“The Board firmly believed that Russell Slade and Paul Wilkinson were the right men to lead the Club when they were appointed eleven months ago and continue to believe this today”.  
Really ? What have they done to make you believe that ?!!

“Supporters should not underestimate the impact the current environment at Blundell Park has on the players. It does nothing to help the team. We therefore ask the fans to do what they do best and that is to get behind the team and give them their wholehearted support.”
Why don’t you ask the management team what they have done to support the players insofar as the best players have all left or been hounded out only to be replaced with a bunch of journeymen and kids ?
Why would the supporters support the board and management team when you LIE and try and fill us with BS ? The latest one being the crock of sh.it about giving the manager funds to buy quality players . Simeon flipping Jackson ?!! All these statements don’t mean anything anymore you w.ankers .

Directors loans and shareholdings should not be a barrier.
Mmmm

Really do think it is time for the Trust to consider it position of the Board,they have no real influence,and are being tainted by association.It really impacts on their credibility and integrity and their presence on the board is only tokenistic.

Additionally with Slade and Wilkinson in charge next season attendances are going to dwindle and therefore bar profits.
Do not let yourselves be used any further and disassociate yourself from this nonsense,you will be respected all the more for it.
