Lets not get distracted with the Scholes issue. The Scholes appointment was always going to be either an unmitigated success or disaster.The latter was always going to result him lifting the lid slightly on some of the goings on at OUR CLUB..Which in the long run will be prove to be of significant benefit.May not feel that way to some now.

You are certainly on the right lines there.Davies and Gerrard may not be everyone's cup of tea nor Wellens, but they have been very discreet.

The 2 FWs were also very instrumental in our relegation

Not convenient for the fans who will have to stump up more than £20 extra to get to Manchester and back.Presumably more convenient for some of the players and others at the club that live in Manchester. Local community,employment,identity etc,etc...need I go on anymore.

Keep going Andy, the only certainty in this process is when you put your head above the parapet you will be shot at.

One test could be to assess the wealth of a particular individual as is common in business via a Statement of Assets and Liabilities. This could then be supported by documentary evidence. Surely then the EFL know how much it costs per season to run a League One club (as we were then). Divide the Net Asset value by the cost base per season and you get the number of years the individual could support the club financially. 18 months is unacceptable. That is not silly,a pretty basic financial assessment that the EFL should be capable of making. All the bollocks about hidden information is rubbish, any proper due diligence should be capable of verification. AL for goodness sake was working in the club before everything was signed off legally. He basically took a punt and it backfired.

This further enforces many views on the incompetence around the EFLs Fit and Proper Test.How can a man who passed that test drain his life savings in 18 months ?

I sit on several boards of directors and like to think that when I have forthright views ,and the time to contribute voluntarily, that I do so. I would suggest that you could well be an asset to the Trust and its' positioning against the current regime running OAFC.I am not taking the piss we all need to pull together and use our skills against this clown running our club. We may all not agree at every point along the way,but there is no doubt we have a current focus on what needs to be done.

Does that matter?Every team we play doesn't play in yellow.

Out of interest have you joined the Trust? I think it would be ideal that someone like you gets actively involved in driving/formulating the Trust/Fans agenda forward.

Why don't those of that are going wear yellow high viz jackets instead of scarves until Marco leaves.

Totally agree.PS didn't come out all guns blazing in the interview and was keen to put forward positives around the players. There is clearly a fracture within the squad between ALs mob and the rest. Having spies in the camp and trying to marginalise Peter Clarke plumbs new depths for me.I wouldn't be surprised if Clarke and Baxter aren't at Salford next season.

Ok I get that.Possibly for commercial reasons we have to accept an element of confidentiality until/if something progresses

While many of your points are valid you are starting to suck the life out of yet another thread

True, but WOW last man standing

The heat needs to be turned up on AL now. This is the first outward sign of his contempt for the whole fanbase.He may have had issues with the Trust in principle so ignored them, but I wouldn't give him the benefit of the doubt on that one.Since the day he walked into Boundary Park he has operated as a dictator ruining the lives of many good honest employees of the club,everyone has left either through his "sackings" or voted with their feet because they couldn't stand working for him.Name me one current paid employee who was at the club when he arrived.Free scarves,re naming the stadium were fronts to keep the fan quiet allowing him to progress with his own as yet undisclosed plan.The FA and EFL know what is going on but are impotent, its up to us guys.Whether it is boycotts,protests,not buying club merchandise we have to take the hard road. Things may get worse before they get better but ultimately we want our club famed in the past for being a family friendly club back.

I was thinking along the lines of I should have never taken the job everyone was telling me he would interfere but I never imagined it would be as bad as it turned out.

Unless he is going to go public about what really happened

That was a suggested donation to the charity.Most people were happy to donate more than that.

Don't forget this morning testing for men over 50 at Boundary Park in Rochdale Road end.Good to see so many there finishes at 1pm. Simple blood test.

You are starting to suck the life out of the process.Either get involved personally or let the Trust run with the process as agreed at the fans meeting.

Leave without a deal isn't it

If you were there you would have observed that the atmosphere was very subdued. Everyone can protest in their own way. You have to understand that many find it hard not to attend,but can feel at least as hurt by what is going as you appear to be. We are all different and express ourselves in different ways

Lets see how supercop Barry deals with the complaint. Get the same treatment as topoff ?

Despicable behaviour well suited to align himself with the AL regime, they deserve one another
