What’s the alternative? Who would take on a club in millions worth of debt, with a terrible stadium and no training ground? You would have to be fu cking stupid. I totally agree but weal and co are not funding our football club and when the happy clappers realise this it will be too late! We need a protest. They are not funding us a all, except......... they bought the club, cleared the debt and continue to supply funds, admittedly not as much as Gasheads would like, but we are still alive, which I doubt would have been the case if Mr Higgs and co still owned the club. If they annoy you that much then protest with your feet not your mouth.

Yeah, if you are gonna have a serious go at convincing everyone to protest and that the Dwane regime is bad for the club then you need to base it on reality. All this 'they haven't spent any money' is so clearly nonsense that it undermines your point and credibility.
Dwane have spent a shed load on us and left us in debt. BRFC is in debt to Dwane (or similar) and not to anyone else, so that's a manageable, internal debt. This is similar to how a lot of clubs (successful and unsuccessful) function.
That's not really the problem. The problem is how that debt is ultimately dealt with, either by Dwane or as a result of Dwane selling the club.
If you think Dwane are just gonna sell the Mem to get their money back then you have every reason to be worried. But if that is the case, you have to wonder why they bothered to get involved in the first place. What would have been the point of it all?
If you think they will just write off their losses (a fairly common result in football) when they sell the club, then there is nothing to worry about.
So, really istm, it all boils down to whether you vaguely trust Dwane, or vaguely distrust them. Our potential big problem is the large amount Dwane has spent, so this, 'they haven't spent any money' is gibberish, and you won't get many people to protest against the board on the strength of it, coz it's the exact opposite of what has happened, and the exact opposite of the potential problem we have.
Of course, otoh, protesting that we're spending too much goes against the grain for most football fans.

Im not having a go at peoples spellings here as I am not the best myself BUT it really wateres me off when our own fans can't spell our own players, backroom staff and owners name! People, it's spelt Wael. Also, while I am at it, it's not Tom Nicholls. It's Tom Nichols. Just the ONE 'L' in his name. I am now looking forward to see all the jokes with names being spelt wrong Pet hate of mine also. Can forgive a typo, but some you see making the same mistakes constantly. Agogo has been another favourite this season.

Weal the saviour lol!!! Hes sacked every board member who stands up for the club and now there is only two left let's see who the family can blame now. The familys a fraud and need to f**k off now before we become Buried like Bury FC. Sadly, he doesn’t bother turning up to games and that shocks me as he passed comment that he left the Jordanian FA to concentrate on us but now is in Jordan and according to one poster, for the foreseeable future

What a lousy and disrespectful OP Totally agree! But understandable for many reasons. Wael and/or Hani can counter this if they were to make a comprehensive and believable statement on what exactly is happening, in regards to stadium, training ground, finances and if Hani & the Al-Qadi family are prepared to continue to guarantee the Club finances in the End of year Accounts as they did last year? Also, have they received an offer from anyone wanting to buy the Club? and are they considering it? In the absence of a statement, is it any wonder fans/supporters are concerned?
