The Elephant In The Room

I said this on a tread weeks ago, these guys really don't see the need to tell people what they are spending or why they are spending. We are as much at fault as any one because we expect instant answers, these guys do not move in the circles that need answers every five minutes.
It will take a very long time for us to understand them and even longer for them to understand us. 

On top, another reason we're so twitchy as a fanbase is that we're getting left behind left right and centre by most clubs, in regards facilities. However, there is a glaring divide between us and our Bristol neighbours, which appears to be widening by the week. As much our club needs to get it's own house in order, the speed at which this happens needs to happen faster for a lot of our fans. Whether this is right or wrong, I would like Wael and Hamer to at least indicate that they understand this.

Give it a rest Peter, you know there was no racism there. I hate racism in all its forms.

You can’t expect to employ middle eastern investment bank business tactics on an English L1 football club. That was part of the message from Vaughan. They don’t expect to be questioned basically. Well tough. It doesn’t work like that when you have 10k+ supporters that are shareholders in effect plus other local businesses that underpin the club. You are going to be scrutinised and questioned, it’s part of the gig and they had better get used to it. All football clubs are the same.

There are also some astute businessman that support BRFC both in boxes and on the terraces that can see there are problems and situations that need help. Lots have offered their services already. It’s so obvious. And you may fool some but others you will never.

Also, what has happened in the past with other boards is in the past. Yes there were some errors but also some positives and whatever they are they can’t be changed. We are looking forward to the future now. And the future is bleak currently. If this board can learn from the mistakes of others then we could have a bleak future, but right now they have removed the stadium plans, not replaced it with anything and more facts are coming out about mismanagement of finances or the lack of them.

Combine that with a chairman that inspires zero confidence and it’s easy to see why people are being critical.

Thank you for your logical and clear response as to what I was getting at.

Can we buy shares in dwayne sports.?

Apologies if hou took it that way. I wasnt implying you are racist, just dont understand what being a Brtish club has to do with anything.

As for offers of help and the old board, i am sure they rebuked many an offer too, so in that shape the AQs cannot be considered any worse

Just fiding this constant negativity and defeatism raining

Again apologies regarding the initial comment

Problem is that it's pretty hard to be positive at the moment, we have a manager who's clearly unhappy with the owners, a good chance we'll lose our only decent player in January, a team who will do well to even avoid defeat today at Oldham and the promised new ground as far off as it's ever been. Meanwhile our local rivals are now looking like real promotion contenders.

I hope you told him face to face that you would have liked a 'thank you' rather than just complain on this open forum?
I have found the executives at the Club always willing to discuss in person with good supporters like you and it sounds as though you have had plenty of chances.

I am certainly on side of "What the f is going on at the club and where are we heading", it astounds me that people can say we are no worse off than we were and in our history we have always been no higher than we are now.

We are staring relegation in the face, unless we can sign 4 or 5 players, we need to replace players with Liam Sercombe quality of a player. Some fans seem to be far too loyal to their favourite players, they just are not very good now, certainly are not performing. We have to replace players eventually, should have done it in the summer.

Obviously the ground was the real blow, felt throughout the club it would seem, i don't anybody is any the wiser of what is going on, until we move will continue to struggle and will not attract many quality players.
