    I'd have GG over Mansford any day.

    Thanks Nudge, clearly not a member of the secret society.

    I actually thought there might have been some indication to what was happening with the takeover. I feel a little disappointed that we, the fans, are still none the wiser.

    I wouldn't.
    We have a leader that looks very poorly- God bless him.
    However - we should have a CEO that generates energy and promotes exciting times ahead.
    I'm sure Mansford would have injected some enthusiasm.
    But the meeting was as flat as a flat thing.

    Whatever. I'm done with those two clowns, CT. Drag the club and everything good about it down. It's all they know. Moreover, they've ruined what was once one of the best football forums out there. Zero tolerance from now on.

    What GG does behind closed doors is more important than what he does in front of a pub load of fans, in my opinion.

    The only thing Mansford ever injected was even more bullsh*t.

    The GG bashing smacks of when Maurice Watkins was lambasted on here following his departure despite not one single poster having a genuine idea of what he did to aid the club behind the scenes.

    Yes. The question was about basic income, which will all be public domain, for anyone who wants to find out hard enough. Mansford went on record several times with this info, from memory

    Patrick actually commented that he was waiting for you going mate....he really opened regarding takeover and Hecky in the 2nd half.

    I would guess at Maurice having a huge influence on the club since Patrick has owned the club.
    But one thing I did learn tonight - is that whatever is said on this message board - then it's mostly just an opinion - in reality it's far from the truth or what is actually happening.
    I'm so gullible- and always have been.
    This was built up as a big day for the club.
    Hundreds of posts on here.
    At the end of the day ........... nothing's happened.

    I actually found it interesting, Hourihane was offered to be the best payed player in our history but still nowhere near what villa offered, Patrick fought hard to keep Winnall, he wished he kept Roberts. Work starting on concourse to make it more inviting and hopefully completed by Christmas.

    I guess they might be subject to non disclosure agreements Nudge.

    Given that they were speaking in public and their comments were being broadcast via twitter perhaps it was a pretty smart move keeping schtum..

    Did he mention why he sold robbo? Seemed an odd move at the time.

    He didn't mate no but he made the comment that he's one player that he should have tried harder to keep

    Yes - someone else said that to me during the meeting.
    It's just me wanting to get it sorted and to be looking at a bright new future for the club.

    Thought the best comment from Patrick was “thank fook that silly gets gone................. Let’s get this meeting started. “

    Oh God yeah, the stuff posted on this board is incredibly subjective and is more often than not opinion even if it’s dressed up as fact by the resident ITKs.

    I think the timing of today’s meeting was unfortunate. Now again, this is just my opinion, but I presume that GG and PC had scheduled to appear regardless of the recent (non)developments regarding the takeover and this week’s SAFC interest in PH so tonight could’ve and possibly would’ve been a slightly different affair had one or both of the above been resolved beforehand.
