If an entertainment company bought us, they'd get done under trades descriptions.

Search the FM thread, its all there. Instead of making 25 or so people search for something already published and so accessible to all, couldn't you just tell us? Just a thought.

I don't get how the forum mods seems to imply everything is fine at the club, when two managers have left both saying more or the less the same thing, meanwhile we're the only team not to score in 2020, are losing £2m+ a season, have debts exceeding £10m+ and zero signs of a new ground or training ground, attendance dropping like a stone. But I guess this is all down to the ITK'ers being a bit mischievous with what they post nothing at all to do with the way Wael is running the club. We aren’t pretending it’s rosy we aren’t blind to the debts and loses and the poor leadership that essentially was the responsibility of our chairman. The ALQs have been let down just as badly by the people they appointed to help run us as us fans have been. But you are also clouding some of the facts. If you remember DC had spent his way to the bottom of the budget, he wanted more money but we were 23rd in L1. That’s why he left. I don’t think he would have been given the sack if we were 10th do you? He was given all the backroom staff he needed/wanted. All the assistants and coaches he wanted. It’s not as if he was deprived considering that just half a season before the ALQs came in he was managing a conference side to the top half of the division. GC has his head turned by a job around the corner. You cannot give any serious credence to an overly emotional post match interview. Given the suggestion from some at the time that come the following morning he had realised what a mistake he had made but he had made his bed. We don’t know the context of how he was speaking because he hadn’t said. But he was Mansfield or bust from the minute his lips slipped in that interview. The alternative options of people who are available to run the club quite frankly scare the life out of me. If you really think a dynamic which involves a 3rd party ownership by a entertainment company currently making a loss on their accounts sheet which has Steve Hamer and Ken Masters involved as well then please supply evidence why it’s a good idea. Especially when you consider that both of Hamers bite at the cherry of running a football club with us and Swansea has been totally disastrous. If you believe that you really are being led down a wonky path, someone is pulling your xxxxxx. For entertainment company read joker.

A recurring theme seems to be it is everyone else’s fault expect the people at the top running the club.

For the record, that was a joke. I don't know why.

What's Brian Seymour-Smith doing these days? He did at least communicate with the fans and even posted on here.
He seemed a lot more capable than KM.
I can't remember why he left.

I can't remember why he left.Don't quote me here and I am sure I will be corrected anyway if I am wrong but I think he left as his term as fans director ran out and they (not sure who they are myself) decided we only needed one fans director??

KM has had ample time to point fingers at the board, hes been on it the whole of the ALQs reign and most of the Higgs/Bradshaw/Ware regime. When its come to engaging with the regular rank and file and calling people to account he has been utterly feckless. Name one time he has done it.

Not sure it's the FD's role to call the club's owners to account, even if he did you'd probably be whinging why aren't the SC supporting the club and its owners anyway.

When its come to engaging with the regular rank and file and calling people to account he has been utterly feckless. Name one time he has done it. In all the times I have interacted with Ken he has come across as a nice bloke, but he does not do enough (in my opinion) to mix with the rank and file of the fans. For all his perceived faults Brian was always available to chat to and try to alleviate any issues.
I left the supporters club two years ago, mainly because it seemed not able to push forwards. I admire the volunteers who work hard behind the scenes selling 50/50's, programmes etc, but what ever has happened in the background will only it seems be sorted if Ken stands down.
Game tonight, come on the Gas

Because he felt totally unable to get any of his ideas across and he felt that the job was impossible to do. Always around various parts of the ground and a decent man. I feel it’s a loss but when he says he wasn’t even privy to meetings then I guess the only way is to leave
