laticsmarra Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I wonder if ALs henchmen Barry Owen and Alan Hardy will continue to sit with him in the Directors' box or will they now vote with their feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If successful the Trust will be part of a group that will be the landlord and have board representation of the club. A foot in both camps if we can do it So you are admitting that the buybout isn’t a knee jerk reaction to a alternative offer. Therefore this “fan led group” must have a backer with some finicial clout? Sorry if I put you in a difficult position, but before it was NEVER said it was a fan lead offer....

We have been speaking to Supporters Direct for awhile and I am sure we will be speaking to them again with more urgency You can only give someone enough rope so to speak.... We have voted tonight, we will make the stand Cheers Who is worse in your none trust related opinion corney or AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please remember, it's not too long ago the Trust was reporting on what a decent fellow our new owner was in comparison to the previous one "a refreshing, open approach" etc. I remember thinking at the time "Am I the only one who thinks? - hang about - this guy's just presided over our relegation to the 4th bloody division" I kept quiet, thinking that people better positioned than me (e.g. the Trust) must be correct as they saw the day to day mechanics of the club. We`ve all witnessed the decline and we are now as bad as we have been since the days of applying for re-election to the league. We are far worse off than we were under the previous owner - certainly in terms of playing staff, league position etc. I`ve stated my case on another thread so I won't keep repeating - but one last time - you have one chance here to retain credibibility amongst a lot of supporters - split off from this current regime ASAP and become an independent voice we can all unite behind.

Clifford Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 What a load of shite. Hit him in the pocket. Why would he care if a few scarves get tossed on. Stay out of BP until he fucks off ala Blackpool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laticsmarra Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 The Trust weren't represented as such. Jack Dearden presented it.Fans called in ,the views expressed were very similar to what has been said on here. We all seem pretty shocked and speaking with one voice which is comforting to hear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His knowledge will be extremley useful with negotiations...like i said when he came on board, sometimes in a game you need to have a bigger bat, or in our sport....a finisher with 3o plus goals hahah Elaine Ganderton is of a similar skillset with regards to negotiations for Councils/contractors Edited March 14, 2019 by underdog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcmetty Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 From what I heard, it wouldn't take a great deal of cash to get AL to sell up. Obviously the buyer would need the cash to keep us a going concern, but someone should certainly be enquiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
