How does this bloke keep his job ? 50K a year to kill our club.
He and the other muppets recruit a Manager worse than Mccarthy whch takes some doing.
With Bignot/Maguire at the helm we are going down. Have no doubt.
Bignot was not the answer and I said so at the time.
Utter filth todays game.
Shame on you Maguire and shame on you Bignot.

I was literally about to do a 'board out' thread.
All should resign and not restand.
There is a consistent element to all the poor results, players, appointments.

Absolutely agree %100 Maguire backed McCarthy and replaced him with a guy who fluked his way to one promotion

Unfortunately, I've got to the point where I feel so distanced from the club, that I'm not even arsed about today's defeat. The board are accountable for this shambles. 90% of the fan base said in April that a change was needed, but NOBODY on that board is/was strong enough. Before anyone says "Why don't you put yourself forward?" This isn't about me. I haven't got the time for it, that's why, as a CFU member (or was, at least!) I voted people on the board who I felt would do a good job of it. Another thread suggests we are not fan owned anymore. Certainly doesn't feel like it to me, nor has it since we won promotion back to the Conference Premier. The Conference North is now a real possibility (can't see any other way anymore). That was a fucking shambles today and there will be a lot of finger pointing going on here this afternoon, evening and night, but the buck stops at the board. We've hit rock bottom AGAIN. Trouble is, it's going to be down to Maguire again to come out, spouting his usual shite. At least he's got the decency to talk to us though. Has anyone, apart from him, got a back bone? I fear not and that is why the club is on it's way down.

And who is going to take their places? Are you volunteering? That is not an argument is it? Perhaps people will if they know there is no old school lurking around, or cliques in place? I can say a defender is shit without having to be a defender myself.

Agree with you on Maguire, but not Bignot. The fact he's inherited this bloody awful bunch of jokers (I refuse to call them footballers) isn't his fault. Maguire and the board and their unrelenting support of that utter cretin we previously had impersonating a football manager are fully to blame.

Judging by the fact whopper is posting we must have lost.
Why don't you moan about the CEO and manager when win?

I think the issue is Maguire did a fair job at getting sponsors and we can't really argue with the commercial side of things having improved with some new deals. However, he shouldn't have had a job the minute JM was allowed to keep his over the summer. That's ultimately a decision that will cost us conference status.

Each and everyone of those board members that allowed McCarthy to continue over the summer should be ashamed of themselves. You reap what you sow and through their stubbornness and refusal to listen to the fanbase we are now where we are. And to think those same people are now trying to galvanise the support. Shocking mismanagement.

That's because not one person on the board is strong enough. I couldn't name one person on the board to be honest. Again, I'm falling out of love with this club. One I've followed through everything in the last quarter of a century. Sad. There's no advertisement of games, but as soon as they want us to put our hands in our pockets, begging us to "Build Bignot's Budget" they are all over social media. The mismanagement of the last 4 years is crippling the club and somebody somewhere must be held accountable.

It’s sad to feel far away from our club. As has been pointed out there was a majority wanting change in April. The board are entirely responsible for the state the club is currently in on the field. As a fan owned club. Someone a spokesperson for the board should say something as an apology. They have/are and will Continue to drag the club down through mindless incompetence. The politics internally are clearly a major issue. We must be haemorrhaging financially at present. The capitulation today wasn’t acceptable. As gates drop money will get tighter all paints a miserable picture for the future. 32 points from 24 games no chance. We need 4/5 much better players ASAP or we have no chance. Whilst I agree with other posts on the defence second half and clearly that needs strengthening ASAP. I felt the decision making and what seems to be lack of s football brain from bell and Akintunde today left a lot to be desired. I can’t find anything positive to say I’m afraid. Thanks to the board for making me feel miserable about the club I love so much.

...been wondering this for months.
When we all sang 'youre not fit' to the players at Kiddy, it should also have gone to the board who have acted so incomptently and hurt us.
They refused to see what McCarthy was when so many us wanted to avoid the mess we're in.
I've seen no accountability for their disastrously lengthy backing of McCarthy. They are why we are where we are.

Steve Burr sacked in April 2016 - correct decision. Caretaker manager for last four games - correct decision. For keeping us up, mccarthy given a 12 month contract in May 2016 - correct decision. McCarthy given a two and a half year contract in January 2017 - ridiculous decision. McCarthy kept on after a four month shambles in April 2017 - ridiculous decision. McCarthy allowed to spend our biggest ever budget, on a totally unbalanced squad of dead legs - ridiculous decision. So did anything of significance happen in June 2017 to turn correct decisions into ridiculous decisions? Let me think oh yes, Maguire appointed to lead the club forward in what was “exciting times”. Change the club mascot for a dodo now, because we’re heading for extinction. Graham Barrow was the only chance we had and we blew it. Far less happy clappers now, but it’s too late for the realists I’m afraid.

When you're paying pittance then you can't expect quality in return. If MM and the board hadn't allowed JM to waste every penny of our budget, knowing full well he was on borrowed time, we would be in a much better position now to make improvements.

Why do people think Graham Barrow would have been able to do anymore than MB at this moment with this squad and this budget?
Billy W is right,professional team run by amateurs.Amateurs that have taken on a hell of a responsibility and respect to them for taking on the load but someone said during the Burr era maybe the board buckle when confronted by seasoned professional's?

Maybe but if he's going to be allowed money to spend he has to bring in better than what we already had and frankly 8 of the 9 are not.

Doesn't it say more that it's been necessary to bring in that many players? JM has landed us in the crap. Archer looks a good find. Not seen enough of Slew. Halls-Johnson looked a very good player for us. Problem is we're bringing in loan played who's parent clubs are willing to give us for free...its not his team yet at all.

No argument on that front my point is that Bignot isn't and shouldn't be immune from criticism. His team or not they are under his command and to date I haven't seen or heard anything from him that says that he's going to be the man to lead the club.

Does anyone share my thoughts on the following definition?
Definition of a Parasite Parasites are plants or animals that live on or in a host getting their nutrients from that host. A host is an organism that supports a parasite. Sometimes the host is harmed by the parasite, and sometimes the relationship is neutral. But the host never benefits from the arrangement. When the parasite does have a negative impact on the host, it doesn't often kill the host directly, but the stressors that come with having parasites can kill.
