I don’t have a clue. Like the rest of the posters here. Thought that was obvious. I just thought it odd that someone would sign a contract extension when they haven’t been paid. If you don’t find that odd then fine. Nothing sarcastic about it. Quite an obvious point to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midsblue Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Here’s a thing. With our new dawn, why doesn’t Mike Keegan meet AL, conduct an interview and MK can then clarify the position regarding funds, staff wages, future of club/AL plans etc. That way it’s all out in open once and for all. AL might be bitter over MKs article but we are all adults; MK is an OAFC and was only reporting what he believed to be factual and at least AL gets to release his side of the story.

AL might be bitter over MKs article but we are all adults; MK is an OAFC and was only reporting what he believed to be factual and at least AL gets to release his side of the story. It’s a really good point. I do feel for the trust in the respect that the owner is so silent. So concern naturally turns to them for answers. Which isn’t always fair. It’s not the trust who run the club. I do understand that if AL tells the trust directly or indirectly that everything’s ok. They have to take his word. The conflict comes when everything is said to be fine, but there are obvious problems. It might be teething problems, it might be something more serious. But the silence creates a vacuum, some are happy to let it ride out. Some are concerned. I dont expect any owner to tell me or explain his day to day decisions. That’s ridiculous. But I do want a reassurance and a little bit of honesty to say, yes I’m struggling, (or not) things aren’t perfect (or not) but this is what I’m planning moving forward. It’s about galvanising the fans, particularly after a relegation that in many ways could of been avoided. I disagreed with Andy B about his want for a plan a while back, but I’ve changed my mind. The more time that passes without hearing from AL the more I’d love to know what his plan is. Especially now we’ve been relegated! We’ve just signed another #french lad. So is it the same next year then? Does the manager have to play them? Is he looking for additional investment? Does he want to consolidate in league two, while he sorts things out? Or is there a budget which he thinks will see us challenging next year? Leadership comes from the top. I genuinely think if he was as honest as he could be, for better or worse most would back him, and think ok this where we are. Let’s come together.

Depends if he wants paying which wouldn't be unreasonable as it is how he earns a crust. His employer would have no interest in publishing it and why would they . It wouldn't be a sales generator.

Can't work out whether Conor is calling Keegan a liar or AL a liar for the excuse he is putting out for the late payment of wages, either way its dragging the clubs good name even further down the toilet, despite that I still think it is worthy of putting out there if it forces change in the way the club is run.

I cant work out who he is calling a liar either, I suspect the owner... but then perhaps Conor has an axe to grind if Ryan has been reprimanded by the owner for being a lazy git. On your last point... agreed, if it’s true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
