The 1st part is subjective but I based it on what I have seen people turning on the crynes on social media over the past few days and on here, one post today "move over crynes and let the owners build a new west stand" aye asif that's going to happen. The 2nd part is true they talked the talk but in 2 year havent walked the walk so far.
All this court activity and litigation has a common denominator- the new owners. No smoke without fire. But I'll remain impartial until the full truth is out
At the end of the day the importance of having a solvent, community-centred football club is all that matters. To that end who do fans trust with their gut? Cryne? Lee/Conway et al? Neither of these? The new owners, to my mind, are simply here to make money. They have shown this by their transfer activity. With that in mind I am suspicious of what their intentions are. However, it is still too early to form a complete picture of what is really happening. The best course of action for fans at the moment is to watch and wait before siding with anyone (me included).
So much wrong with that. On lies you have to be certain. You took the thought that best transfer window is wrong. And a lie. when it’s just a statement on how they and I interpret best. Re COVID don’t mistake running costs with investment. I’m not their biggest fan by a country mile. But some of the comments beggar belief. Re attracting sponsors. Wanting to get em in and achieving it depends on the other party. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t their intention. Lots of stuff hasn’t come to fruition. I don’t know some of the ins and outs as to why. Doesn’t mean to say they are or indeed aren’t trying. I have little or no information into what’s happened in the background. If they were given the impression that they could develop the ground. Then you can only assume they are being frustrated. One thing I do remember quite clearly is. At a meeting of the fans forum many years ago with Patrick. He stated that the use of the ground would not be used for anything other than football when he managed to find anyone interested. ( I dont know if that followed with the sale of the club to the new owners) That was in the hands of his solicitors. ( forget his name. The guy who joined From Man Utd) Would like to hear both sides explain in layman’s terms and not legal jargon.
thanks. As I said in my original post I don't fully understand the recent statements and I would guess it unlikely that we get the full story. I am very appreciative of what the Cryne family has done for the BFC and its supporters and for that reason I support them now. We all have the opportunity to show or not to show loyalty to the Crynes. Taking a neutral position is fine but you can't do that and claim your loyal to the Crynes as well.
That’s like having to take sides with Stendel or the board. Why on earth can’t you sympathise with Stendel and support the board on what might have been a legitimate decision. If he was actively engaged in talking to another club without permission. I can name a few employees who gave a lot to the company. But put themselves in a position where the sack was inevitable. I’d Sympathise with the employee but understand the company had no option.
Exactly. Stop taking sides FFS !!! Everyone should be on board here - but the club shouldn’t be carrying passengers that are able to hold the club back.
Tend to agree with you. Someone's telling fibs and I'm more inclined to believe the family that have the track record of doing the best for the football club over a long period of time. If there was one thing that the Cryne ownership of the club had it was integrity. We've sadly lacked that at times since Patrick's passing imho.
I have no view on this current dispute as we can’t see all the facts, but I have to say I have a different recollection of that regime.
