Guest Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Re the “fashion parade” (beauty parade is the accepted term) and management of him afterwards - would you have honestly, in the knowledge of the position the board were in and that diligence would take a while (it always does), kept the whole thing quiet and told people nothing? I wouldn’t, just to get them off my back if nothing else. Allowing him a forum to speak to the fans was generally recognised as A Good Thing at the time, certainly on here, and to say otherwise is complete revisionism. And you can’t realistically manage what someone does on social media. You could put in Heads of Terms that he’s not allowed to speak about the terms of the bid, and I’m not aware that he has. The character of the people involved in BTB has nothing to do with it, and I don’t know them at all. Tell me, what WAS the point of that statement if it wasn’t entirely self serving? If they thought it helped, I’d love to know the logic. Don’t misunderstand, I don’t think the board/MSG are all sweetness and light - they’ve made some monumental cockups over the last few years. But it is possible to think that some decisions were bad and some decisions were good, and the same about BTB - and you in particular are guilty of presuming that the board are always acting maliciously or incompetently, and the BTB guys are a combination on Einstein, Sun Tzu and Gandhi. People are too willing to deal in Brexit-style black and white, and the world isn’t like that.It has been widely acknowledged that the the BtB guys have done everything right apart from a 5/6 post on a SM site saying they had concerns about the guy buying our club and they had sent those concerns to the club. Wow what a shower eh? The BtB plan would have seen a transition to new ownership and new directors chosen by the club and those who were contributing to the scheme. It did not mean that those driving the scheme would be in running the club. We are in Division 3 unless you haven’t noticed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Have the btb boys made any effort to discuss their findings with this boy or had any other dialogue apart from the opening meeting? Has he shown any interest in talking to them again or rebuffed any attempt to continue dialogue past the first get together,?I would doubt it but don’t know for certain. Why would they discuss similar things that the clubs DD was handling. Could the club have asked them not to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest, did BtB have any plans to replace the Pitch or finish the stadium, or was it just injecting a sum of cash to hopefully help our promotion push? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be up to the directors at the time to decide how to spend the funds. I don’t think pitch or stadium was ever specifically mentioned, but that wouldn’t rule it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC has just posted on Twitter that if he gets the keys it will now be a floating pitch of the finest golf green grass with dancing girls giving out free kebabs. It will be replaced after every match. He's booked The Beatles to play the stadium in the close season as he knows Ringo well - he just built him a hotel , but don't tell the ex-wife. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
