Updating as we go.
So Far...
DC says ON departure was JW decision. DC adds he would have released him earlier.
DC says ER/AG swap was JW decision
NH says JW did not want to be manager for the whole season, thus the move upstairs
NH says they do not want to alienate fans and that they are as transparent as they can be.
NH says without the board there would be no BRFC. Everything has been done in the 'best interests' of the club.
The question of any criminal activity at the club last year has been DISMISSED (I am personally unsure whether this means denied or just not commented on)
Watola says JW was actively encouraged to bring in striker but that he turned down a number of strikers.
The strikers we went in for turned us down. JW was convinced we had enough quality.
DC disagreed with JW about thuis. He is now intent on building his own squad with quality up front.
NH says we must learn from mistakes and build a quality squad to get us back in the FL
Watola admits we were not prepared for relegation in regards to budgeting for this season.
Relegation cost the club just under £500,000
The club have asked the FL for an update regarding the WW saga.
DC preparing for conference football. Working hard to get recruitment right with incentive based contracts.
NH says we are always looking for additional finacial support. He says he has spoken to a number of people over the years in regards to this.
The community department may loose funding (are you listening JTS?!) but community projects should continue.
[[Tweets of unrest amongst spectators coming in as they feel that the Board are making excuses and not engaging in a real way - blame directed towards JW - one Tweeter writes 'whens JW gonna get the blame for santas grotto?' ]]
Barry Bradshaw agrees that communication is clearly an issue.
DC says he wishes to keep Lee Brown but that we will not be held to ransom. Every player is replaceable at this level.
(My boss is gonna go mental when I get caught)
DC says that JW was very set in ways and he wasnt able to learn as much as he has hoped to.
[[Other tweeters saying it looks like the board are here to stay - they dont anticipate any chages given whats been said so far]]
BSS says they present challenging questions to the board.
NH says SC directors are valued members of the team.
DC expects to win conference premoer. Says fan support is vital.
NH says the stadium is the future of the club. It will be the impetus to investment in a big way.
BB says he wants the club to work closer with the supporters club in the future and listen to their views.
BSS and KM say they believe recruitment needs to change and that DC is recifying this. A scouting network needs to be implemented.
Watola says Lambert money will be paid in installments over 18 months.
NH says OF had to shut due to libellous comments. EDITED IN CASE YOU ARE EASILY MISLED AND DONT UNDERSTAND HUMOUR.
DC says he will not offer long term deals. Latest signings are on 1 year with a 1 year option.
DC believes we can compete at the top. Says it will not be easy but that he is confident.
NH says there will be no CEO before the UWE move. We do not have the revenue. He plans on bringing in a CEO when we move.
Watola is acting finance directer and CEO presently.
NH admits that the Stadium focus may have been detrimental to footballing matters.
DC says Stuart Gray was JW scout and he no longer works for the club.
DC says he will be hands on with scouting at the club and utilise the loan system.
NH says lack of goals cost us relegation. Alan Gows injury in his opinion was massive loss.
DC says he may be guilty of trying to change too much too quickly when he took over.
Young players will be sent on loans to gain experience.
The long term ambition is to have a state of the art training facility but this is not financially viable until we move to UWE.
UWE. There are 5 legal agreements that need to be finalised before building commences. Watola says we are on track bu t not unitl the end of summer.
Watola says conference do have financial fair play, but no cap on wages.
DC gives a pep talk - players will always 'go for it' and 'fight'
DC says players must 'tick the boxes'. Taylor had bigger offers but chose Rovers ahead of them.
Board looking to entice younger Bristolians to the stadium in the future. Most of this will be when UWE opens with students.
Higgs says a new CEO will oversee workings on and off the pitch. He says he has spoken to CEOs that currently work in the FL.
Thats all folks.
