    I may be accused as crawling out of the woodwork, but I think the board are being dragged down by the failure of the head coach to get results. I we were to win the next six games, nobody would want the board out.

    They've still got some big questions to answer, this isn't going away.
    Fans have seen the light, covid and our success hid quite a lot of things.

    If we won the league they wouldn't either, but both are equally as likely to happen.


    Then there is the matter of that £750k.

    Not true. They've opened Pandora's Box as far as I'm concerned by sucking funds out of the football club, and then subsequently going on record stating that this wasn't the case.

    There's no longer any reason for me to believe that any funds I put into the football club won't be used in the same way to benefit the investors directly, rather than the football club. Consequently, I'm no longer prepared to spend anything on the football club (programmes, catering, merchandise and, eventually, next year's season ticket).

    It's bad enough that their top priority for the club, to make profit on player transfers, doesn't align with mine of aiming to be the most successful club we can be within our available resources. Actively reducing those resources without good reason is about as low as it gets for me.

    Still plenty of questions unanswered especially where is the investment and not the money we are having to generate ourselves but the investment they promised .

    But they’ve appointed that head coach and they have the power to make changes.

    They could change that tonight, they should have changed it weeks ago. They didn't, I wonder why? Perhaps given the CEOs interviews this week it's because Schopp is just doing what he's told.

    When the latest accounts were released and discussed on this forum the team were doing well. No one cared, or at least said they cared, about the £750,000 taken from the club's accounts to pay the previous owners. Quite the opposite in some cases, arguing it was a perfectly reasonable thing to do. I mentioned it a number of times and no one said a thing. It wasn't until months later with the team doing badly that it became an issue.

    I guess you have proof of this. I can’t imagine anyone making a potentially libellous statement otherwise.

    Yes Helen, I don’t know anything about the contract issues and frankly they don’t concern me. They’ve appointed a head coach in good faith. They kept hold of Mowatt last year when they could have cashed in. I’ve been impressed by Kitching, Benson, Iseka and Cole. I think we have the makings of a good team. I’ve got an issue with the head coach.

    Go on then, post that previous stuff up. Let's see who cared or didn't care about it at the time.

    I'm comfortable with the documented evidence of this in the club's own accounts, discussed at length elsewhere on the board.

    Personally, I hadn't seen any reference to it until the recent thread discussing it in detail. Maybe the thread got buried at the time, or I wasn't reading the board regularly, but the on-field performance wouldn't have affected my criticism of it if I'd seen it earlier.

    Even if we'd got 42 points, instead of eight, the owners would have still kicked lifelong fans out of a stand, to accommodate more away supporters.

    What about the fact they still haven't paid for the club in full or the fact they used £750k out of the club's bank account to pay some of what they have paid. Just what have they brought to BFC that wasn't already happening before they arrived well apart from the closed stand the court cases the fact that staff have left the club in droves over the summer from all depts some after years of service. Then we have their latest two recruits the worst head coach in years and CEO whose first decision seriously pisses of the fan base and his first interview pisses em off even more.
    Please tell me what you're seeing that I'm not because I just want them and their yes men out of our club the sooner the better.

    An American owner bought Man U by leveraging borrowing on the club. Similar thing with Burnley! Do I agree with it? No. But it seems to be the way business is done in football and £750,000 is peanuts at this level.

    Look at the club's accounts £750k used to pay money they owed the Crynes.
