If you don't pay for pointless staff you could gift the difference to add to the turnover. Ditto the London office. Do you know what those staff are doing then?? So you can't say if they are pointless. If they don't waste money, they wouldn't employ them to do nothing surely?? To me, it points to they are king to into our options. We all want it to happen sooner though, which is the problem. I don't, but neither do you, so you can't say they're not pointless. I do know that since they joined we are performing worse on the pitch while struggling for budget. Maybe I should refer to them as lower priority than the playing staff. You neglected to comment on the London office. It's all wasted funds that could be vital in progressing the football team.

My natural inclination on their performance so far would be 'out', however I haven't voted as it's too easy to say out without a credible alternative. I so wanted to believe in the Al-Qadi's and I still do believe that Wael wants to succeed. Some improvements have been made and there are aspects of the club that are in a better shape than they were before. However, good leaders don't hide when the going gets tough. Good leaders don't say one thing to their most prized asset and then fail to deliver on it. Good leaders have a plan to progress their business. Good leaders don't ignore and subsequently alienate their customers. Good leaders don't leave one employee to front up and take all the crap. For these reasons, IF there genuinely is someone out there who is able take over and has a credible plan to take this club forward, I implore Wael and his family to sell up. Thank you for what you have done, but good riddance for the broken promises and complete lack of leadership. If there genuinely is no-one, it doesn't matter what we think as they will go nowhere. And if their lack of leadership and communication forces DC out (and I fear it will), then I will be convinced that they are no longer the right people to lead our club and I will be joining the 'sack the board' crowd. Well said. Whilst I did vote "Out" I agree that it's too easy for me to say that without a viable alternative waiting in the wings. Your points of lack of leadership are spot on. Wael, if you're reading this, please take note. Perhaps you'll learn a thing or two and improve your running of this club.

We all want it to happen sooner though, which is the problem. Why do we need a fancy office in London, given we're a Bristol based club why not have a cheaper one in Bristol? Come May what's going to benefit us more a striker who scores the goals to keep us in Div 1, or a nice office in London when we a Div 2 side next season. As far as DC wasting the transfer funds, if the owners don't trust him with their money thrn they need to get a manager in they can trust.

You neglected to comment on the London office. It's all wasted funds that could be vital in progressing the football team. Because I don't know what the office is being used for. I know when one player signed, he said he met there and thought we were professional. Who knows what else we use it for. It's probably easier for Wael to get the family to commit to funding things like that, than gifting money every season. So it's not as easy as one or the other. Until we get new facilities, they probably thought a mid table budget, was sufficient to stay in league 1. Our long term future is more important, so we don't know if the CEO is needed more than a player. That's why I'm 50/50. I'm not making out I know. But they could be doing what's best for the club. We don't know, is not a reason to want them to leave IMO.

It would be cheaper for them, so hopefully they have a reason. Could be working with someone based in London on a scheme. They are not in the habit of waisting money, unless there is something behind it. I agree if they no longer trust DC, they should replace him. But it's not January yet. Who says they won't back him, as we are struggling. Will be hard attracting a striker to the club now though. A decent loan could be the best option, but DC does not like to do that.

Would we even notice? Are you saying you don't want them gone Tom? The club is an absolute shambles. It's the alternative that I'm worried about. Currently they are covering the debts and taking us nowhere. However a new lot could come in to asset strip us. On the other had they could come in and seriously invest so... Considering our only asset, worth £10m, has £10m debt against it, you could suggest the current lot are doing a very good Impression of asset strippers. No planning permission gone or going in on the training ground and absolutely nothing with the stadium. Not quite sure how they are getting away with this. At least the previous owners tried, even if they were inept.

So many want them out, but don't have a clue what's going on behind the scenes!! Plus a lot of clubs owners are worse than ours. Are we better off than before they took over?? Yes I'm lots of ways. Team might be worse, but the budgets about 50% higher, so that's there fault obviously. More spent in a lot of areas. Better back room staff. Better medical team. Double sponsorship deals Stadium wise, we don't know what is happening, but obviously everyone thinks they do. Those same people knew about Uwe, years before everyone else I suppose as well! Let's half the budget again. Sell player's and never reinvest any of it. Put the mem back to how it was. Look to half the sponsorship and go back to the raffle. Be careful what you wish for. Although we need a new stadium etc, things can be a whole lot worse. Re-Read the first two lines of your post Daniel.. That kind of answers your question..

For me it’s a really difficult decision, because whilst my heart says out my head is saying, what’s the alternative, I don’t see a long queue of potential buyers fighting over us. I would love to see someone come in and deliver on the promises of a new ground etc, just not convinced currently there is anyone out there at the moment.

Ah, with a Freddie Mercury moustache? No, he never had a moustache. He told me that if he had one, his top lip would have got sore with all the pillow biting involved.
