    No one knows. Hasn’t stopped an 8 page thread though.

    We are run more like a national league club, & that’s where we’ll eventually end up under this stewardship.

    Just an observation..

    The article doesn't once mention JAQ at all and only refers to Neerav in the sense of being informed of the complaint.

    My guess would be an electronic device - a tablet or ipad maybe. Or just the pack of cards they play with on the coach...

    Oh great another chance to chuck **** at the club.

    this sort of thing happens in lots of offices up and down the country and these are allegations up to now.

    Anyone else think this is a none story?
    Be interested to know who or what Norwood has lent someone, he obviously didn’t need it to take with him over the hills to dark side.

    To take legal action for defamation to court, you are looking at a minimum of £100,000 - with the potential to go a lot higher. Would you rather we signed a new player or took the Athletic to court?

    Thing with the Athletic if they link us to any new signings they are roundly dismissed as spouting rubbish.They then attack our club and the usual doom mongers believe every word they say.
    If Jean doesn't think a member of staff is dressed appropriately is she in her rights to tell the person whether its male or female.

    Poor show when a woman can’t wear a short skirt for work

    You ought to have a look at some Twitter comments telling Nareev and JAQ to leave.Even the lad who had a team of financial backers to buy the club and had leaflets made has made a video slating the board again.

    One of the owners of the club should not be engaged in salacious gossip full stop end of story and certainly shouldn't have carried on with it after having to apologise for it in the first place. If Mrs Cryne felt strongly about the dress and demeanor of the lady in question she should have reported it to the staff members line manager confidentially.

    Yea...I'm more interested in our mess ups with Marsh and was it Dallas?
    Nothing to see here....this is common place in virtually every club in the land..."He said...she said ...they said"
    Actually probably not Forest Green who cant serve a decent pie!!

    It's a good job that social media wasn't around when King Ronnie was up to his 'alleged' shenanigans with other players, at the club, wifes in the 80s or the bedwetters on here and Facebook, X, etc would spontaneously combust

    I was trying to say despite their best efforts, 'other stuff', not directly attributable to them, seems to derail those efforts. Far too regularly.

    Whatever the story is, this has directly contributed to us being kicked out of the FA Cup.

    Which I think means that it's important - from a footballing perspective.

    Maybe she did, and someone else spilled the beans. In an organisation like BFC there's no way something like that wouldn't leak, even if it was originally dealt with professionally and discreetly.

    Only just picked up on this. Seems to me like there’s a whole raft of facts missing here, and a shed load of conjecture.

    I also don’t understand why Barry Cotter has taken to Twitter. Will be interesting to see if he features on Saturday.
