So he does win the argument then. Cheers for confirming. Just to make your point even weaker, during the Boston Marathon bombings, Boston was put under military control and made a police state for several days. This was done easily and accepted by people. There were police tanks patrolling the streets and the people of Boston complied with the draconian curfew measures without a whimper. This was under the watch of a very left wing Omama regime. But, you know, feel free to keep attacking GOA. We don't agree on much politically, but I'm always much more aware of an issue when I agree with someone so ideologically different to me. Haha he gives as good as he takes so spare me the bullying nonsense thanks . Remember he calls a few of us the axis of weasel…. Amusing to me but nothing to worry about . Likewise I can call him a loon and I don’t need you to lecture me 😃👍 Bullying?? Lol.

Well if the club has said it isn't true, it can't be true, they tell the truth all of the time!
Also Vladimir Putin doesn't care about you buying your food shop on your Monzo card gents 🤣

Anyway 😂
What a salty statement from the club! The line about not being about the south stand should have been left off altogether.
Seems like someone at the club is rattled. TG?

I'll say it again - The future's Bright, the future's Gorringe... but for how long? He’s always been regarded well by much of the fan base, the ownership of course and by the playing management. Will that change? Possibly? I’ve never really bought it and feel like the club has been more about image of getting stuff done and things actually being better. I don’t think a change is needed but there needs to be a shift at the top. The cult of personality needs to end and we need to see results and not water around at awards evenings and telling all and sundry that everything is better when indications things are no better than they were under other leaderships under Wael. Yes we may have invested in facilities (south stand - don’t laugh it’ll be done, training ground, paving behind the thatchers actually getting replaced) but a lot of this has been change in circumstances for Wael rather than a sudden improvement in how the club has been run.

To be fair we have strayed into a political discussion prompted by GoAs reference to state control and China.
Back to Bright, if it was not him that screwed up the South Stand rebuild, who was responsible? For me the buck stops with Gorringe

If DB actually wasn't sacked for the South Stand, when will the person who was responsible get the boot?
Also, what was he sacked for, then? Not getting STs out on time? Giving fans needle on socials? Dared not to kiss Barton's boots one day.

Surely he is winning the argument up until a counterpoint to his statement is put forward? If you are comfortable with the possibility of even more oversight, intrusion and control then please tell us why GOA is wrong. What he says is happening in China is factually accurate. Oh, but it won't happen here I hear you cry. Look to the US. A totalitarian military nation is already forming there and has been for years. Its a slow creep. Its considered normal for police forces to have tanks in many states now. The UK is never far behind falling in line. We have already given up so many rights, but the reality is we can live without a mobile phone, without a credit card and without loyalty cards that track our every movement and transactions. Calling someone a loon is not winning an argument. Oh, and to stay on track, David Bright. What a dickhead eh? For me, it's the utter naivety. It has always been the case that established ruling classes will use any means available to maintain their position. It has been, and is, education. Look at the narrow group of schools and universities the current government are drawn from. The media. Who owns the main printed media? Watch the attacks on the BBC when they are deemed to have stepped out of line. Look at the activities of the police, infiltrating protest groups with under cover officers. I could go on. But the point is this stuff has been going on the ruling classes granted the right to vote. Using a debit card is not going to make the situation any worse. Quoting A1 when none of us know how that might be utilised, other than speculation. Look at our own club. Do we really know what is going on? 20 years after the prospect of fan involvement was first mooted we know less now than we did then. Sales manager allegedly sacked after he was tasked with running a build project. Club Secretary resigns and is replaced by a kid, who allegedly has now gone. An owner who p***ed away nigh £20M, got us relegated following a disastrous policy implementation and recruited an inexperienced manager with a highly dubious reputation. Now has given up and sold out to people of whom we know nothing. And still we will turn up like lemmings, shout dogs abuse at players and officials, laugh at the latest jokes about immigrants and vote for absolute buffoons like Johnson, Rees-Mogg and GoA's particular hero, Thatcher. We have so much more we should learn from than the use of Debit Cards and AI. Why do say " allegedly" when it was announced that he had left the club some months ago? Where is the proof that Wael has given up? He has brought in somebody who will help to move the club forward, which he has always said he was open to doing. You like to use language which casts doubt on virtually everything the club does, even when there is proof to the contrary.

For me the buck stops with Gorringe Agree, not a fan of Mr Bright, but I couldn't believe that the South Stand was totally down to him. He just jumped the gun and blabbed about it. No doubt if/when it is erected TG will step forward as the brains behind it.

Another thread goes down the sh**ter Yep, tiring isn't it? I think it's about time moderators did a bit more moderating. Posters should be advised to keep the discussion on track and then given a warning if they persist, then posts deleted. This is how it generally works on other forums I'm a member of. Otherwise you end up with what we have now - a forum full of WUMs personal attacks and bizarre tangents. It's hardly worth creating threads with a subject as any new posts could literally be about anything. To be honest, I'm starting to think I can't be bothered with it, which is a shame as I'm an exiled Gas so this place is my main way of keeping up with fans views on what's going on with my beloved club.

It will transform the ground especially with the proposed F & B that I believe is to be provided beneath the seating.

That statement was not thought out very well eh as it just brings up more questions rather than answering just the one. mad. the way it's written makes it sound like it's nothing to do with the thing you think it is, but it basically is. All they had to say as BS as it might have been, was "As part of a management restructure following the takeover, David Bright has left the club.
Dave joined the club in December 2021 and was responsible for Sales, Marketing, Ticketing and Retail.
We’d like to thank David for all of his efforts during his time at the club and we wish him all the best for the future"That would at least be professional. I can't believe a HR person would let a statement like what has been published be put out like that Exactly as i see it. It really is so badly done. I could barely believe what i was reading and for the same reason as you give plus it just adds oil to an already incendiary piece of information. Makes you wonder who is responsible for writing it and also who signs off in it.

Nobody likes a grass. Talk me through what happens. You read things which are off topic and what, you feel bad inside? Bottom lip wobbles and you just hope teacher intervenes? Run to mummy moderator, she’ll make it all better. Now take your crayons and colouring in books and have a glass of milk

Your argument dies when you call any government of the USA (or Uk) very left wing. Hasn’t been one in decades. The Overton window has shifted so far right since the 80s.
