For three sponsors to cut ties and a director to walk it must be something pretty bad. Even administration wouldn’t necessarily trigger that backlash, if it was unavoidable.

As far as I can work out, and I may very well not be right, the main sponsor has left with immediate effect and is taking legal action including against abhorrent allegations The sponsor of the tunnel has already walked The sponsor of which BO is a Director has walked BO has resigned as a director of the club in support of a sponsor or sponsors Soap opera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) Looking at this more objectively we all know it would have to take something pretty major for Barry to walk away or even be pushed as he seems to like being on the board of directors this looks abit different to the usual sackings that have been going on and imply something far worse than what we have seen in the past few years. My spidey senses are telling me that the shit is really hitting the fan here and the walls are closing in fast.

Let's not forget btw tomorrow is April the first either this could be part of the most elaborate April fools joke of all time.

I remember when they did that under Corney one year - didn’t go down well Of course there is another possible motive to Barry leaving at his request or otherwise - get away from the mess and be available to swoop in with his “experience” if we get new owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
