should be made public soon Ken Masters? It doesn't seem to be a secret. He's not a club employee, surely that can't be true? |

Maybe you can go to Ken’s social media page and ask hi.....oh wait that’s not possible.
Ah well perhaps you can go to the profile for ken on the SC website and then contac.....ah wait no that’s no good....

You're entitled to your opinion but I don't see that as gullible. It's a perfectly rational explanation as far as I can see. Don't get me wrong, I was no fan of his style of football, but I will never criticise a man for putting his family first, so if the chance to work near home rather than living away comes up, I applaud him for taking it. You applaud him for leaving at Christmas, with the club 4th in the table, with 2 years left to run on his contract, after slating the fans for not getting behind the team enough, making excuses about 'taking the team as far as I can', bringing it up in a press conference not even an hour after a fantastic win at Ipswich?... You must be pretty easily impressed to applaud that I don't applaud the timing (either the announcement at Portman Road, or that he could have done it a month earlier), but yes, he needed to be closer to his family. What's wrong with that? Football is just a game. Family is much more important. The events over the weekend should teach us that, if we didn't know it already. As for the 'taking us as far as he can' comment, I think this was an acknowledgement that the one dimensional style of play could only take us so far. He talked about developing the style of play last summer, but for whatever reason hadn't done so. Maybe his choice, maybe not. Route One football can get a team promotion from League 2, but was perhaps unlikely to do so from this league, particularly with a small squad that had injuries building up (maybe brought on by players playing too many games and not enough rotation?). Perhaps League 2 was a better platform in which to enhance his reputation? I don't know, but then nor does anyone else, so I'm happy to accept the reason given and respect a man who wants to spend more time with his family. |

Imagine our Ken
His expression when
He was banned from his place in box 1
Leaking crap to his friends
Like a dodgy U bend
Now he golfs on a weekend for fun
I can only admit
That I smirked quite a bit
When I read that his milk had turned sour
There ain't much support
When you've lost the rapport
Of those that put you in the corridors of power.

I don't think ken would be presented with too many problems by being banned....
All he has to do is wear a decent suit and no one would recognise him....

Can anyone tell me what Ken did to get banned? I could then pull the same stunt and get myself banned from the East stand. Just imagine, I wouldn't feel compelled to turn up and sit through 90 minutes of pure sh1t like we had to endure on Saturday! |

So the BoD is now effectively Weal and Starnes? How long will it be until it's just Wael?

Not sure if the club can terminate as the SC is a separate entity now but he can be banned There’s a difference between being banned from the club (which he isn’t) and not being allowed to be a guest in Box 1 and attend board meetings. I don’t quite know why he’s getting his knickers in a twist about it because on matchdays his prime audience should be the fans who he is meant to represent so it’s an ideal time to mingle with his rank and file members even if it means standing on the terraces like the rest of them. He could always pay for a box...?? Given that most of the things he was privy to was leaked to People like GI, BSS, Knowall and John Harding and a good few others I’m surprised it’s taken as long as it has. I wonder who is front the cost of his legal challenge? Will it be the SC or his own personal cost? |

If Wael wanted to then there’s nothing to stop him being banned from the club. I can’t comment of his leaking as I don’t know him plus, he hasn’t been invited to a meeting of the ever decreasing board for over a year. I would guess any leaks would be speculation as he’s not been privy to the meetings. Do you think it’s healthy to have what is, in reality, a dictatorship instead of a board ? I sense some strong insecurities here, it takes someone pretty special to have spent the equity in the mem and in just over 3 years. Our crowds are dwindling, performances shocking and we aren’t looking unified at all, evidence of that is clear just by reading comments here. As for personal cost, who paid for the London office, when we had it, the owners or from the clubs equity ? I’m no fan of Ken nor do I know him but it seems the club are distancing themselves from some true blue supporters. |

Could be interesting. |

I’d rather not be looking to blame anyone but it seems that our owner is ridding himself of anyone who could question him or maybe even challenge him. It’s very difficult not to speculate when we have no one to challenge or give input, at board level. The board is now WAQ and MS. It’S not like any of us can do anything anyway but it’s difficult not to speculate when so many strange things have happened and in a short time Hugo |

If this board would give us just an inkling of what’s going on , people wouldn’t have to leak information it reeks of dictatorship imo . Utg.
