    Can you ask him what he intends to do about the toxic atmosphere caused by the fact that virtually 100% of the fanbase don't trust the owners and want them to leave.

    Any of the following

    Paul Conway couldn't find time in his busy schedule to face the fans of this club but managed to find time to go to bramall lane. How can he expect anyone to part with their money when there is such a clear disrespect from the chairman?

    If we go down will he consider his position at the club?

    Does he regret hiring a 'project' manager rather than an experienced manager that fans were asking for?

    Does he have any proof that any work actually took place to make the west stand safe? What changes were made to the refreshment outlets?

    Fans are quite cynical about the sudden rush of emotional publicity stunts from the club that have coincided with season tickets going on sale. Does he understand why fans feel this way?

    On reflection does he realise that announcing a price freeze but neglecting to mention it isn't a price freeze on last year's tickets was damaging to the image of the club and caused a further lack of trust from supporters?

    Why does he think 3 weeks is an acceptable period of time before charging a £70 levy on ticket prices? Why wasn't the feedback from the previous meeting taken on board?

    Why wasn't Obbi Oloure tested with a multimeter before we signed him?

    How does he feel when fans who have supported the club 30/40/50 years have decided that they are so disenfranchised and upset with current owners (not league position) that they will no longer buy season tickets? And more importantly are the owners aware, do they care and if so what are they going to do about it?

    The 750k taken out of the club. He's had chance to get an answer. If he bats it ask him how he'd react if 750k was taken out of next season's budget on top of all the other losses.

    Paul conway was ceo when he brought some of the worst signings ive ever seen us make in the championship last summer, we find ourselvesnearing relegation when 2 teams have been docked points and we are 9 points adrift. Now he doesnt even have the decency to adress the fans. What message does that send to people renewing season tickets?

    1) How difficult is it to make club communications ("Back to our Roots" article) appeal to local fans with the juxtaposition of Paul Conway's corporate statements (SPAC/IPO news articles from Feb '22) that are targeting "financial hardships generated by the pandemic among its target businesses"? What are we expected to believe?

    2) What does "success" look like for Khaled? And for the Pacific Media Group?

    3) Should we expect our summer transfer window to consist mainly of a flow of players from associated clubs, similar to our outflow of players to Oostende and Esbjerg?

    4) Although avoiding relegation is still a 'mathematical possibility', should Barnsley exercise Poya's break clause, where can we expect the next manager to come from? Are we still wedded to managers from the high-press coaching tree?

    Why do our owners keep buying clubs but doing nothing to improve them, in fact in our case taking us backwards!

    The initiatives to offer match funding to local non league clubs is a good one. Given the extreme feeling of dislocation between club and fanbase what additional community based initiatives are planned.

    How can he buy or hire players when he knows nothing about the game, which clearly shows. This is why we want a manager not a head coach. The answer is in the title he manages

    1. Seriously mate, why do you bother? Wouldn't it be a lot easier to get a job at a club where the CEO actually has some input into the running of the club?

    2. Do you actually have any qualifications or experience that would enable you to get a job as CEO of any other club?

    3. Do you think there's any prospect of someone one day attending these meetings who can actually answer the questions that are being asked?

    What ground improvements are planned
    Short term - this close season
    Medium term 2-5 years

    The ground can’t just be left to decay so what’s the plan.

    Added to this.Why should BFC fans think that their club is important to the owners when it is just one of a group. Why should fans invest when it appears that this club is merely part of a portfolio as far as the owners are concerned?
