These texts say KM doesn’t like the entire board. But these texts have been alluded to in the past. They were implied to be a more prevalent smoking gun than this. Why couldn’t the OP share the information at the time. This way we could have dismissed or debated its relevance at the appropriate moment. We should bare in mind- that the OP has been floating rumours regarding a proposed takeover for months. These are looking closer and closer to BS. Perhaps the context of the source is equally ambiguous. A side note: Reading the texts- It appears that the supporters club wanted to get a rumour out. However, they seem aware of their own inability to get rumours out... “we will try again.” Come on! Surely the entire point of the supporters club being on the board is to ensure that there is two way communication between the representatives of the fans (supporters club) and the fans... Now this isn’t an excuse for the owners lack of communication. If the supporters club are not involved they cannot relay what they are unaware of. However, it’s damning incitement of the supporters club’s ability to communicate to the fans... why are they so unconfidebt about their ability to spread that rumour? Have they heard of twitter? From memory they weren't posted at the time as WAQ asked him not to so he could investigate. He's had plenty of to do that now so when a mod asked him to post them he did.

I mean it's all very funny, mainly because all of the major players in this situation look like divs.

I don't know why anyone takes any notice of, or is surprised by, anything KM says or does. He's got himself a nice little empire, a director's trenchcoat and free scoffs in Box 1/2. He is unelected as his three year term of office finished at the end of last year and the SC failed to hold elections at their AGM. Anyone who has seen him at previous AGMs knows how he views the opinions of others. I can't think that he carries any real clout where and when it matters, but he'll carry on..................

Just embarrassing all round
All it does is highlight the ineffectiveness, irrelevance of the supporters club and the fans director

The supporters club should just be dissolved, it’s out of touch with the majority of Gasheads these days and from what I see it’s practically a ‘mates club’ now.

Thanks for posting that Severncider. Interesting to say the least.
Shame so many posters who asked for the information have now ridiculed you for doing just that.

Anybody else intrigued by what KM meant by "We need total support for the position we're in" was he just seeking the OP's support for his own position on the Board, or concerned about the club's own future?

Yes I wondered about that. While agreeing with posters who say the Supporters Club is ineffective and has become irrelevant I think to dismiss this incident or pretend it didn't happen would be another example of fans fear of discussing what might really be going on behind the scenes. I don't know Severncider or Ken Masters but I am certain that both of them have much more than a passing interest in Rovers. If we are honest with ourselves can we say the same about Mike Turner, Steve Hamer, Martyn Starnes and the Al-Qadi family ?

Well the SC and the fans director could you know, actually speak to the fans if they have something to say

Who owns the '8%' ? Is it the supporters club itself or individual members? Could an Supporters Trust or something similar be set up to run alongside? No idea myself but I agree it seems past its sell by date, an alternative could attract new/ different members, that could be trusted by the fans.

The SC seem in difficult position as they have to work with the owners so can really go public with their concerns.
