So everything should be played out on social media. That’s not how it works. Putting people on the spot with replies to proper dialogue, can sometimes say more than words ever could. Stock answers are not acceptable. One of my roles at work, is to read through. What’s being discussed by both parties and hopefully distinguish truth from bullsh1t. And on occasion , the result is not as you’d expect. Given the evidence beforehand. You have to try and go with an open mind. We need answers, not a prepared statement on damage limitation. I've tried to start a conversation with laikinart. Who I feel needs answers as an affected ST holder. And invited him to attend the meeting as a guest. ( we are allowed to bring one) As yet he's not replied, If anyone on here is affected. and wants answers. this is an opportunity to put your feelings across. I personally would have liked the club to invite all those affected to a meeting to explain the situation in full and those with strong/emotional views offering a response. As someone says. we are all investors in the club. Without us. they have nothing.
Just wondering how much he actually knows, being as he's not been there very long. We shall have to wait and see what he is able to say.
You have always been very pro chein lee and co I've found. While the rest of us have kept a open mind. Other pro the board posters on here seem to be not so keen on them now.
No one to my knowledge has ever been pro board in the way you portray. Siding with them on occasion, when for example they told us the game plan and others being in denial is not pro board. Just stating facts. ( and not necessarily liking the game plan/model) What I do know is. Some posters will never accept anything the board say. Be it management issues, player issues. Having our pants down on player sales. Jumble lane bridge. The list is endless. Trust is a major issue and sadly the club on this occasion ( west stand) have fell way below standards if if reports proven are as said.
Some people on here have been very pro 80% mob and have backed them up, defended them and generally been up their arse at every single opportunity.
I've seen posters inflate player sales, argue that we got good money for certain players pinnock for example, and these are the ones who were the first to slate patrick. I think if this consortium didn't have the billionaire status patience would have gone along time ago and other would have had more of a open mind from the start.
...believing that they're the better fan and loyal to the club when in fact all they've been doing is being loyal to the owners.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's sat in his office thinking what the **** have I let myself in for joining this basket case club... Could be looking for a quick return to Man City! City.
It's true though? A very select few, but still accurate. Some of which appear to be finally seeing the light.
The people going really need to hold them to account. Ask the hard questions, call out anything that doesn't make sense. They need to be confronted with the question: Are they trying to devalue Oakwell through neglect and closing the West Stand, in order to force a cheaper sale from the Council?
Ouch. I'd like to think of myself as open minded regarding the owners. Or at least I was open minded, not so much these days. I definitely wasn't "up their arses" , a "better fan" or "hero worshipping".
If you go to conversation mate on your profile name it should be there. In your inbox. Hopefully. I’ll try private message you. Bit reluctant to put my number on the full forum.
One thing that I find particularly $hit in all this, is how fans have turned against each other. This thread is full of it. ‘Pro board’ ‘Pro Council’. Fkin depressing. If we’re not able to unite on this, we’re knackered:
He may not have meant you but some have been lording them up ever since they came and were seen as billionaires, maybe they hoped they would get the cheque book out and invest there money establish ourselves as a championship club and maybe push on....
