Shall we just all pack up and go home? What is the cancer that sits within our club that causes this?

Really worrying times. Doesn't really surprise me after reading a lot of venom on here and on social media.....seems that you need incredibly thick skin to be a board member of our club. We expect miracles of people who give their time for free.

Well done, I think people actually want the club to fail...

Brilliant job lads I'm sure O'Toole, the soliciter and friends are sitting reading their Torie weekly, sipping their pimms and having a lovely evening. Superb work guys.

What has the bignot fan club got anything to do with the current mess the club is in? Comments made to or about board members regarding MB. The usual bollocks. Whether you agree or not with his removal the board were the ones in possession of the facts. They had a decision to make, a decision that they didn't take lightly. What was put out there on social media has been a disgrace. We needed unity but unity was just too hard for some people to grasp.

I think the Wrexham fans will finally be able to accurately say we murdered our own club........so desperately sad.

I don't think that a 'Bignot fan club' even exists. But there has been a vitriolic, accusatory tone on twitter in recent days - with conspiracies and thinly-veiled accusations being thrown around. When the 'new board' came in, we had a genuine chance to galvanise ourselves and move forward again. As it is, we are now totally rudderless. I don't think any board are above questioning, but for the newly co-opted members to be dealing with such persistent criticism, when they have overseen a huge fundraising campaign, is truly ridiculous. There is definitely something seriously amiss at that club behind the scenes. The Croasdale tweets showed exactly that.

We expect miracles of people who give their time for free. I know we’re in a different situation than most being fan owned but I don’t understand why they’d step down because of all the crap that’s posted everywhere. It’s the same at every other Club.

I don't read stuff about Chester on fb or Twitter so have missed it all. I'm starting to think that board members should distance themselves from social media to be honest but then again maybe that's building a wall between them and the community. Tough call

How hard can it be to just go the game, come on here and have a moan about crap left backs and strikers who can't hit a cows arse? Instead people have to get personal. I rarely comment on social media but I do see it and people send me it. There are people with blood on their hands to night. People who have had far too much to say for themselves.

To be fair the mess behind the scenes isn’t due to the fans, and to blame them would be ridiculous. It’s to do with last last year or so of management of the club by the board/CEO etc, which since the news of our plight came out in February has caused a toxic environment now between everyone.
It’s natural to get people with different opinions and views, some supporting our current model, some not. Some supporting certain board members, some not. Especially if we want to have a club which is a democracy we have to accept that. Sadly this season has been a hard pill to swallow for us all and significant damage has been done.

'But Olorenshaw, who works in senior management for Merseyrail, has decided to step away with immediate effect after stating that his views differ from the majority of the current board.' - Chronicle.
I feel very much in the dark with regards to all of this. Who are the members of the board that SO has differing views to? Who are the 'certain people who wanted this' that I am constantly reading about on twitter?
We need an end to this thinly-veiled secrecy. What is happening at the football club?

Time for the Leader to start printing the truth, or for Simon and Mark to give their side of things.
Whoever knows what happened in the last week needs to come out and say it ASAP.
The longer the silence continues the more people will just walk away

Absolutely gutted. Cannot believe it. Just when we thought we had some direction some sad fuckers thought they’d mouth off on social media at those trying to save the club. Fuck you, stick your keyboard up your arse.
Where do we go from here?
Chronicle article says Simon has stood down due to his opinions being totally against other on the board. Some shit has/is going down behind the scenes.
Mark has just said on social media bad rumours about Calvin are coming from within the club. These snakes need removing and if they are members of the old people who didn’t want removing, they need removing at an EGM. Immediately.
Totally shocked at this. Personal differences are going to kill my club. We really are club killers this time.

We expect miracles of people who give their time for free. Perhaps its time this forum took a stand then, and only allowed people to post under their actual names and not sit behind keyboards anonymously? perhaps we should do a poll, see what the general consensus is?

Far too much secrecy. This always happens after resignations. Let's lay all the cards on the table, lets hear what is going on at our club, and lets work out how to move forward. No cryptic reasons why board members have resigned whilst the problem is left to grow.
Ollorenshaw says he has stepped down due to a difference in views, Mark has said that the rumours regarding Calvin started from within the club.
Mark Howell @blacon_blue 19m19 minutes ago Replying to @matthew_WJG @cityfansunited
"Nothing to do with Calvin. He is diligent and works hard. He engineered the Turnbull and James deals saving the club 1000s. I know these attacks stemmed from within the club and that was it for me. Don't have a lot of spare time, not going to waste it fighting my own club."
I've got a good starting point - lets find out who started the rumours regarding Calvin and get rid of them.

My guess is this has been an internal fight between those believing external investment is the way to move forward and those fiercely defending the fans owned model.

So the board who got us into the financial mess are still causing mayhem? It looks like it Olorenshaw has come in with his ideas and the “majority” have said no probably because he was sensible given his background? And not drive the Club into the ground like they’re trying to do.

Some shit has been going on behind the scenes for a while now IMO, why do you think they cancelled a CFU meeting because of fucking Easter? Whoever this is causing Simon, Mark etc to leave the board needs to go NOW. No person is more important than multiple board members now leaving.
We don’t get this sorted THE CLUB WILL DIE.
