That was just embarrassing.

Well just watched 10 minutes and it's a bloody shambles. Why the intercourse is matt dean suddenly get a bashing? This isn't about Matt flipping dean. Idiots on both side of the table from what I could see. Jesus, supporting this club is bloody hard work right now. Tonight was completely unnecessary.

Mr Marley came across as a humourless and sour accountant lacking in grace or Communication and PR skills.  Having said that, that doesn't mean that the detailed run-down he gave of the steps taken to solicit investment in the club weren't of interest, or well set-out.

I actually thought he gave a good answer on this and addressed some of my points about the saleability of the club, the steps taken to bring outside money in, and the crucial issue of GYFR's shareholding.

I'm willing to take him and Philip Day at their word on this issue, and the conclusion that investment is most likely once the stadium issue is resolved, is probably a reasonable one.

I also think that although he didn't handle it particularly brilliantly, some of the barracking from the floor was disgraceful and an embarrassment.

I thought Fenty's John Shuttleworth impression was very good.

Did I hear him say he had had enough of being involved in the club? He said something like he would always be a fan but would be relieved when someone else takes over?

On a night when we'd hoped the PR issue would be addressed they send out grumpy old Marley and take the PR dept back another step.
Not a good night for the board in regards to their unpopular stances on Checkatrade and Stevenage, the fans required an apology for the bullying claim, instead it was just repeated, with no more evidence provided than the first time.

A good night for Slade though, came out of it pretty well with a mixture of insight and humour. Think the unplanned and forced changes helped in the last 2 games more than he'd like to admit but can't actually blame him for avoiding that.

I think Slade came out well, I don’t always agree with his plan, but I genuinely think he has one and he’s certainly thorough and he was quite open (within reason)

It did very lively from 2130 hours onwards.  Some frank talking (and abuse).  Well worth a listen.

It took the panel an hour, on and off, to answer my email question that Matt Dean raised, about securing new investment and/or new owners. So the USA owners fell by the wayside then?  I did not like their desire for 100% ownership, with no fans involvement.

The fact that John Fenty did not know that men in the UF queue to use the toilets downstairs was a big surprise. Has no one passed this info on to him?   He did agree to see what he could do.  

He came out well until the bullshit about Matt Dean destabilising the club. If a piece of inaccurate information in a newspaper is really able to destabilise the club, then I'd say we have issues people.

Am i the only one who thinks Slade is full of excrement and just says what he thinks we want to hear. He showed his true colours the way he spoke to Matt Dean.

Just started watching it on the other side of the world and switching off because Slade is boring the bottom off me rambling on trying to justify not leaving one up front. Does anyone ask him is it not down to having crap defenders?
