Can't imagine what he could possibly have said that would have placated people at this low point. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I don't want him to wipe my tears, I just expect leadership from him. This kind of blanket statement isn't it. I know he's essentially a politician and blanket statements are to be expected, but by now I think I'd much rather read one of those Chairman's Reports again

The Al Qadi family are slowly destroying our club no new stadium no new training ground but licks of paint and embarrassing tents.A new CEO what’s he doing apart from taking up a players salary.They have made our club a laughing stock in our own city. What? No new stadium that we didn't have before they got here. No new training ground that we didn't have before they got here. More attention to the stadium than it was getting before they got here. Not sure why you think things have changed for the worst. Dwane's biggest mistake istm is not to string us along with some bullshit about a new stadium that we'll never get, like every other regime we've had since the 80s.

Its more than just communication though, its about leadership, they go hand in hand.
Between him, Starnes, Hamer and DC the ship is rudderless. We have got 2 fat cats on the board on far too good money doing absolutely nothing. Its pathetic. A complete waste of £160k per year on those 2.
You also can't run a company never being there, not having your finger on the pulse, which is exactly what Wael is doing. This club needs direction, vision and a plan and its got nothing. We are sleepwalking into L2 for a start.

People wonder why he does not bother. He did after the Blackpool game and got abuse, saying you only do when we win etc. What's the odds, he has got abuse again?? If you got abuse every time you said something, would you not keep quiet?? When he came in all guns blazing the fans almost to a man loved him. Communication from him was good and it appeared as if he was leading the club to better things. The reason he gets so much stick now isn’t because he occasionally tweets it’s because he has failed to communicate, failed to deliver the promises he made, and is failing to lead. Yet you seem to think he should communicate less!!! Are you sure you’re a gashead? We don’t need cry babies leading the club who won’t communicate in case someone is nasty to them anyway. Any organisation that is going to be successful needs much stronger leadership, someone who can drive change and face up to problems and learn from critics, challenges and mistakes. Wael should note and accept the criticism he now gets in the same way as he did the lavish praise he once enjoyed , and do something about it!!!

The only thing he could have said to make fans happier this morning is a long the lines of "I can see as a squad we are desperately short of quality in certain areas of the pitch and rest assured, I will be giving DC a large budget in January to rectify this"It is nice to know he is actually still paying attention to our results but it doesn't excuse the fact that nothing is being said on actually putting some money into the club to progress it. and alert every club/player we go after, we have money to burn ! Good Business that...

Not to string us along you’re bloody joking if they had their way we still wouldn’t know that the UWE project had folded.Buying the training ground site and then declaring that would cost three times as much as they thought almost immediately what sort of businessmen are they ?

It always shocks me that the press dont make more of the fact that our owners, CEO and Chairman don’t communicate at all with the fans and also about the lack of clarity on off field matters. Whilst our chairman is doing the commentary would be a good time to bring it up.

If you got abuse every time you said something, would you not keep quiet?? I understand that and it's a fair point. He should not get abuse under any circumstances (although I fear if Darrell goes or is sacked, the fans may well turn on the board/owners, thus destroying any hope we have of a "collective" approach. Wael is the leader of this club but he is not leading. Darrell has been the sole voice from within the club for months now. We have a President who means well but has hidden now the going is tough, a CEO who possibly doesn't exist, a Chairman who appears to be merely a figurehead and a family who communicate nothing about the intentions for the club. I'm not expecting Wael to tell us all that Darrell has however much to spend in January. I do expect him to come out with a strong statement about plans for the club, how they intend to realise those plans, why Darrell doesn't have a training ground and most importantly at this time, to SUPPORT his manager. The manager upon whose coat tails of success he was happy to ride. Instead, we get a cheap tweet talking about collective responsibility. Sorry Wael, but that is pathetic and is about as far from real leadership as it is possible to be. As someone has said already, DC has carried the club for months and Wael has gone silent for whatever reason. There's nothing collective about the approach Wael has shown since the UWE deal fell through.

Erm, no. The fact is they are not currently stringing us along with stories about a stadium that will never get built. That's the first time for about thirty odd years that we haven't been strung along with stories of a stadium that will never get built. It seems to me as a fan base, we're only ever happy when getting strung along with stories about a stadium that will never get built.

Words fail me they’ve not actually spent any of their own money on the club it’s all secured against the Mem and the day of reckoning will one day come

Whilst our chairman is doing the commentary would be a good time to bring it up. Hamer has already told us verbatim that 'Dwane Sports do not communicate with the media'. I thought that was a slap in the face to the paying customers of this business at the time yet the customers were still enjoying having their tummy tickled by these charlatans. I hope now everyone has woken up that they review that statement again and realise what it says about the contempt our owners hold us in.

Here's my theory - club in the process of being sold, new owners will bring in their own manager - DC already aware that this might happen leaving him and his players thoroughly deflated?

The Mem is an asset of the club. Everyone who has ever owned the club has spent money but owned the assets. Just because it's secured against the Mem doesn't mean they haven't spent the money. The money doesn't magically appear just by securing it against an asset. If you remortgage your house, you don't magically get 100 grand to spend for free. That's 100 grand you don't get when you sell your house. This, 'they haven't spent any money' is contextless bullshit by people who don't want to admit, for some reason, Dwane are blowing £1.5M a year on us.

We need a bloody good CM and a striker in January, maybe Wael and Co can collectively get the money together and bring some in decent footballers.
They OWN the club and need to act, if we dont do anything in January, then we are F#ck£d.. and will 100% be the last straw for me with current board.

So what do you want him to say??? How am I not a gashead, because I'm not bothered if we get a weekly update, saying nothing! They have said until there is something to say, they won't, as they don't won't to get our hopes up again, as there have been too many false dawn's. I want to know, but I'm not going to cry about it like you. As I can see, why they wouldn't be able to say anything.

I dont know, if there was new owners coming in to my place, i would be busting a nut to ensure i was performing. If players are hiding and scared they deserved to be shipped out.

With respect, that sounds like thanking a 'Nigerian Prince' for not conning your nan out of her pension money. We should not be grateful that they have gone silent, we should be annoyed that they have no direction whatsoever and do not have the capability to display strong leadership. That should be a pre-requisite for ANY football club owners before you even get near factoring in dreams of a new stadium.

It literally looks like a template, poor words, and to the people that say "every time he speaks up he gets abuse" or "at least he's paying attention" it's not quite good enough for the "owner" of the club, if that was me? I'd be posting on social media as much as I possibly could He's been vague, distant and shown no true progression, it's always wait and see, I think it's getting a bit tired now, two new tents and a renovated bar and shop isn't enough and as said above we are in fact a laughing stock We're all loyal and being mocked won't shake our dedication to our club, but something has got to give! If he cares/cared about the club he'd want the best for it cause this is absolute shambles

If your team is in the relegation zone and you crash out of the FA cup to a non league side despite being in the lead, t home, then there bloody well is something to say!!!! You don't have to go into great detail.but you certainly start throwing 'I's' about, at the very least 'I will investigate, as a matter of urgency, every means available to get this club moving in an upward direction. The fans deserve much better' is way way way better than 'let's all pull together eh?' The man is so insipid it's unreal.
