    To be honest I wasn’t gonna join as the group did come across from the outside as a bit amateurish and thought it may have been set up by some young uns. on joining this isn’t the case and some issues have been addressed in the opening post

    They have posted why the group is called Conway out and that this may change in the future. Also agreed they could have a better cover pic. As they say the group is only 3 days old.

    The group is about getting the 80% out of the club (although some do want the 100% out). Not just Conway

    All I can say to folk is make your own mind up about it. If your wanting the same, join and have a read if it’s not for you leave.

    But don’t form an opinion by the views of other members on here without joining and seeing the group for yourself.

    Not sure why Gally has been banned though may be a bit of an own goal banning guy who runs one of biggest BFC SM platforms.

    Received an answer from one of their admin it's because you're a member of the supporters trust rather than anything to do with the BBS. I pointed out that surely it would be better to reach out to trust members like you to help get the trust on board seems rather short sighted to be honest.

    Presumably because he's on the exec of the Supporters Trust, rather than being a member, as this would rule out plenty of other people, and I guess they're not checking membership status?

    I'd say it's self-defeating, rather than short-sighted, to exclude BFCST, as they've been the source of much of the information available, which demonstrates how badly the club is being run.

    They need to have a re-think, pretty sharpish, IMO. It's certainly not worth me bothering to sign up, as this suggests to me that they are not serious about working towards a long-term solution.

    They've apologised for going down the banning route and have asked for him to either be invited or request to join again and it will be approved

    Sensible decision, so it looks like I can revert back to my original plan of signing up.

    If only the ownership group were as quick to correct their errors!

    Thanks. I'm not interested in asking to join if it's just going to be a faction tbh. Much as I agree with a lot of what Luke says, the original.Luke on Tykes TV seemed more even handed somehow, had his own views too but didn't get annoyed in the same way if others felt differently..

    The only solution to change is going to take money. Whether we like it or not, most not, they own the club and have paid £8m quid so far.

    They are investors and all they want is a return on their investment. They aren’t going to change their business model because fans demand it.

    Even not spending a penny more in the ground will have limited impact for the rest of this season as the season ticket money is in.

    Any change will only come about if the fans/alternative investors can come up with the money to buy these guys out. The question then becomes how much?

    The alternative is time and the club gradually failing financially and potentially falling in to admin. At that point it would still take money to purchase the club but likely to be a lot less than the value ascribed by the current owners.

    So whatever happens we need money and quite a bit of it.

    Maybe they are a but wary of accepting everyone in case some insiders at the club gain access to what is being posted. Someone's already mentioned legal action threatened against BBS posters. The fact that it is a closed group may result in some defamatory posts which could be used against them.

    I'm assuming any supporters trust was involved with Blackpool, N and Bury protests?

    Dunno. I’ll see how it pans out. If it starts taking shape I’ll have another look.

    This is why I think the 2nd option will ultimately prove to be the way in which the next change of ownership occurs. I have no doubt that, despite massively devaluing the company they purchased to date, they will expect a significant return on their investment to exit. Who, ultimately, would be prepared to pay an inflated price for a devalued asset? Only someone who is too rich to care less, but has the club at heart and wants to save it, and I don't see many of them popping up in the near future.

    Precisely this.

    There are two reasons why this consortium will sell. Firstly, that its attractive to them. Secondly, that they have no alternative.

    As Archerfield says, its a game of cost vs time. You wait until it devalues and they either run out of cash and have to sell/ or be forced into admin (I can't see that happening, I'd expect them to strip cost aggressively first) and the price for a new buyer is easier to swallow. Or, like they did in Nice, they agitated the past and minority owners through a ridiculous loan to encourage a way over the odds bid to get rid of them.

    Cost vs time.
