Well if that's being well run behind the scenes!! A football club is much more than balancing accounts and allocating income. Look at that list of shortcomings and errors. And by a detail in your post I now know that you are indeed very close to JF if not JF himself, I'm flabbergasted if you think that the club is being well run behind the scenes and it underlines by you saying this that the club are sitting on its laurels, patting themselves on the back and haven't the werewithal to push our club forward. A total unacceptance, understanding or personal responsibility of what is needed for a football club in the 21st century, just bimbling along in personal comfort zones. I'm just a fan that is desperate for the club to take a step forward and by being associated with the club in some way, you should be ashamed at coming on a fan's forum and jabbing away at the people who are the ones that are providing the money to keep the club going..
I'm far less concerned about what's going on on the pitch rather than off it, even after the last four games. In fact we're nearly at the highest point in the football pyramid in all of the eighteen years of JF's tenure, which is a shocking fact in itself..
Pathetic. Three quarters of those could be applied to any team that belongs in the lower half of the fourth division |

I'm not a great fan of JSF but at the end of the day he's a town fan and one of very few who put their hands in their pockets when we were in big trouble. I think he deserves some respect as a minimum. Having said that we are entitled to ask the difficult questions courteously.
The only way I can see it not becoming an argument is by submission of questions in advance so the trust can pick the most popular questions. That way they can also filter out questions about what coffee is sold, why didn't he sack Slade earlier and other irrelevant issues.
Because slade is one of his best friends, that in the end from results and pressure had no choice |

You're a bullshittter who knows exactly who I am and you shouldn't and I'm peed off about that. Only JF should know my identity on here because out of respect for transparency he's the only one I told him in confidence in a PM. And as I only upload less than two posts a day I hardly live my life on here but any chance you can take to be condescending you'll always take it I guess. Anyway, shouldn't the club be pleased if there were ten times the amount of fans posting and caring about the club on here every day? Surely that would be better than less? You're an idiot that's got rumbled and the club and its associates should be using this forum as a source of feedback, not picking fights with its paying customers or trying to dilute their opinions..
Wow, someones got his undies in a twist  I have no idea who you are!!! And after that little outburst I'm pleased I don't know you. |

Seems to me whomever suggested this idea of a fans night with JF is either under orders from above, come up with a really bad idea or wants to create a bit of fuss/agenda to talk about.
Absolutely nothing is gained from these events, supporters don’t get told what they want to hear, questions that they want to be answered are deflected, the clubs heirachy take umbrage at fan engagement, then there’s animosity/division exaggerated even more and the only thing positive gained from the night is more social media interaction.
Had a period of hearing nothing from the board until just before Christmas. Seemed to be better for all parties that way. On and off pitch.
Only time need to hear from the board is either new board member, chairman, relocation, personnel change or selling up.

We do! Face it and the sooner you do the better. Forget the two cup semi finals and the 5th place in the first division, (that's the sort of thing I am usually accused of - see above) forget our long and 'wonderful' history and how we are Lincolnshire's best club. Times have moved on, there is no multi million Middle Eastern conglomerate just a local self made millionaire who has already done his bit by simply keeping the club in existence. We are where we belong, with a number of other proud historic clubs, hanging on in the middle of Div 4 with a bunch of journeymen players and a wet behind the ears manager, be thankful for that York Stockport et al would be happy to |

What's the point?
