Latest board statement

Re Trust, please don't shoot the messenger.

I too hope they will advise whether or not they were party to that statement. If they were then there needs to be some serious soul searching. If they weren't there also needs to be some serious soul searching about why they were not involved. I feel for the Trust, I really do, but the whole guilt by association thing that will inevitably develop with a continued presence on the baord could seriously undermine them - unless the folk sharing their angst on here are not truly representative of the club's fans as a whole, and I don't believe that for one moment.

"......Clubs respond too quickly to the demand to change managers......."

Ask Everton and Swansea fans if they agree!

It is all about getting the right manager for the Club.

Should we be losing Saturday with around 10ish minutes to go a mass walk out would be a message to thise watching from director's box

Latest statement from board will be General Slade will save the day with his reinforcements.

how did i know that it'd be the fans who got the blame.........

Ok....
well what did anyone expect really ?

We as a board have fcked up by backing Russell just recently but now we have had a change of heart and dont actually think Russell is capable but we cant afford to sack him, so for now he will remain in charge...

The board can only issue the statement it has in reality, how much you want to swallow it or pick it to pieces is down to each individual.

Again in the statement, the board have made it clear that they are open to offers of assistance, backing or takeover subject to subsequent due diligence being undertaken. Surely we all accept we would want that ?
This backs up what JF said at the forum ...basically he is fed up of it and wants out....fans protesting is all well and good but i honestly believe they want out anyway and would jump at a suitable offer.....not the first offer....but an offer from genuine investors, with the necessary skills and finances to secure the future of the club.

Personally i think any fervour would be better spent campaigning suitors to form a takeover party and doing pro-active works in that field than calling for people to go who already accept they want to go but wont just pass it into the hands of any chancers to do so.  

I will be there Saturday to watch my team, i wont be screaming for anyones head, i will support the players and i will groan at the players just as i do at any game of football and will be hoping for three points because my club needs them right now and a volatile atmosphere wont help achieve that.

That statement to me underlines the board want out....the quickest and easiest way to achieve that is to come up with a viable takeover plan IMO.

I think the statement was the best I’ve seen come out of Blundell Park for years. Well structured. Coherent. Good grammar. Such an improvement.

What they really mean is that we have made a right f***ing mess of this and we need someone to come into clean up our s**t

Comedy gold coming from the club, you couldn't make it up. I wish Nero was still alive, he could learn a thing or two off Fenty and his yes men. Nero played the fiddle while Rome burned, Fenty and his yes men are partying like they are at a rave.

Statement of intent...... to P1ss off the town fans even more.

The simple truth is that Fenty had to give him a large 'undisclosed contract' to convince him to come back and that its gonna cost a fortune to pay him off.  Instead lets throw a few cheap loan signings in the mix and hope we crawl to a mid table finish then pray Slade gets his player recruitment better next season.

The fact still remains that he has stripped away the little talent we had left in the squad and replaced them with players like Kelly, Hooper, Cardwell and Dixon that cannot comnand a place in the 11 let alone the matchday squad.

Add to this that an PR relationship with fans and radio humberside has reached breaking point and gate attendances are edging to becoming unsustainable then the board should have thought that a change would be best to save us from potential disaster.

Appears not, they are praying for the miracle of an upturn in form and then they can say they were right not to make a 'knee jerk decision' or listen to us fans.

I really do hope we can survive this season and this wont stop me going to the games to support 'my club' but to say im unhappy is a huge understatement.
