"So I'd say if you don't support us, then don't damage us. Keep quiet." Link that this was said consecutively and not out of context? I have read most of the quotes on the examiners feed and he was just saying not to damage club and he did accept he wanted "constructive criticism" Quote that hit me was "The criticism needs to be constructive. Sometimes when I say things and people don’t believe me, what’s the point for me to talk? Some hide behind names and when we invite them to forums etc they don’t come. Sometimes I don’t understand. If you have something negative with me then we can talk and I explain." Can't expect anymore than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not take him at his word you have the connections, the right personality, the high tec knowledge, you know about ticket pricing, points, deductions, embargoes, and selling stadiums etc etc You could bring it all together or at least get the ball rolling. Didn't I tell you many years ago that you are destined to be a chairman of the club? Chairman Neil sounds good. We can’t go from DC to a chairman who knows fuckall about football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said keep quiet. I suppose we choose the quote that resonates most with how we look at him. Confirmation bias. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scilly owl Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 The Chairman agrees to offer his perspective once, maybe twice a year and it usually coincides with Wednesday being in the kak and the majority of the fan base being unhappy. He always comes across as dogmatic, uninformed and intransigent... to me anyway. The message that I always take away from these little exercises is “ it’s my club, I’ve spent a lot of money on it, don’t criticise me, and stop being negative because I didn’t do anything wrong “ I think that he’s clueless. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 This reminds me of those situations when after a run of poor performances Morgan Fox used to get booed pre-game, gets dogs abuse for 90 mins and then finally gives it the ‘fizz off’ to the fans when walking down the tunnel And all the fans would be like HOW DARE HE!!!!! THAT IS OUT OF ORDER!!!! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
