Notes from tonight’s fan engagement forum

That’s fair enuff..

 

It’s clear Connell, Phillips & Kitching not for sale, that’s them away then.

 

So whatever you're told you're going to go ahead and believe the exact opposite.
And yet you'll ceaselessly moan about not being told anything.

 

So what do you want to hear?

You're told they're not for sale and take that as meaning they will be off at the first chance.

Presumably if he'd said we're open to offers you'd have criticised the lack of ambition and ability to hold on to our best players.

There is literally NOTHING that the club can say that will keep some people remotely happy.

Happy clappers? Not sure what the opposite of that is. Miserable twunts? Dour moaners?

 

@Gally (or anyone who attended last night or one of the previous events)

Has Khaled or any other member of the board confirmed whether they browse the BBS from time to time? It would be interesting to know whether they feel that this place or the club's other social media channels are more representative of the opinions of the fanbase.

 

this place isnt

 

SAD STAMPERS because they stamp their feet like a bairn

 

Did Gerald Scheiblehner get a mention?

 

Loko used to point this out all the time, when someone on the bbs would make a wild claim and back it up with 'all fans are saying it' when in reality there'd be about 4 people on the bbs who were backing it up.

 

The twitter updates were very useful (thanks @funnyfella23). Slightly surprised that there was no mention of this meeting happening beforehand though.

Was it arranged at short notice?

 

I’ll make my final point as a fan who would sometimes like to hear news first hand rather than trawl through hastily taken notes ( I would also like to see the sincerity in the people speaking’s eyes, so I know when they are lying).
Is the calendar of these meetings published ? Or does it come with a proviso do not disclose so people can’t know until after the fact ?
The first mention of last night when I saw someone saying similar on social media, hardly open and transparent is that is it?
But happy to be labelled a moaning git because I see nothing to build on nearly getting promoted to build on! Everything since has lessened our chance of building on the success but happy to be proved wrong.

 

I take that as club don’t want to sell, but as always if offers come in that are too good to turn down then they will have to seriously consider them, though not sell all 3 of them. Nothing new there and no criticism from me if there is investment in the first team

 

Thanks for posting this Gally. Top man.

 

Please try and specifically explain why you believe that we'll sell those 3 players when we've been told we won't.
Your logic is literally outstanding.

 

Appreciate the update, but it all feels very cloak & dagger

 

The same logic that Duff wasn’t here short term and Mads wasn’t for sale ! Not hard to work out really is it ?
Of course everyone has their price but we seem to sell and not re-invest this squad already looks threadbare up to press.
But hey let’s not build on the momentum and feel good factor we created on over achieving, let’s get back to little old Barnsley it will keep most on here happy.
