The Board - The Club - Action Needed Now !!

Nobody gives a shit anymore.

Board and senior staff and untouchable.

Just have to read this forum since the start. Too many low ambition easily led idiot fans who do not realise the long term damage being done. Top fans though so well done them.

If they do not resign it says a load about them.

The lot of them are an embarassment. Not a spine amongst any of them. Mercenaries who have gotten themselves voted on to serve their own self interests - mainly sitting in comfy seats, chummying up to the manager and feeling important about themselves. I looked over before the match started as they took their seats - what a bunch they are. Good old Mark keeps them on his string though. What Mark says goes...

We've had chants of "you're not fit to wear the shirt".

More appropriate now would be "you're not fit to run our club".

They've presided over a disastrous campaign and have taken the club backwards.

They arrogantly ignored the vast majority of fans and allowed themselves to fall under a dreadful manager's spell. It was a decision that almost got us relegated last season, led to a competitive budget being wasted over the summer and has led to our demise before the New Year.

Managers are judged on results, boards are judged on decisions:
Macca contract - wrong
Failure to sack Macca - astoundingly wrong
Bignot - I'm afraid to say also wrong

When clubs are badly run behind the scenes it always translates itself on the pitch. It's clear how bad things must now be. This CANNOT go on.

The likes of you are what is wrong. Low standards.

Happy with dross running things.

Lots done wrong before May 2016, but at least we stayed in the National League and had a record pot in the bank. The club as we know it was in a savable situation. Unfortunately the ridiculous power given to Maguire has well and truly destroyed the club. Allowing McCarthy to stay and spend the pot in its entirety has put an end to any dreams I had, along with countless others. There are several subscribers on this site who have blindly followed and supported Maguire and McCarthy, and in the process have been vile in their criticism and contempt for anyone voicing concern.
FFS. “Owners my arse”. £12 a year and we get the repeated nonsense about how they are owners of a full-time professional football club at level five in the national pyramid. No doubt I will now get the pathetic “if you can do any better nonsense” from them in response. No wonder supporters have deserted in large numbers.
In 2010 there was an honesty and decency about what was then a Phoenix club. Everyone was welcome and equal. Chris Pilsbury and Grenville Millington both good men. The club developed and the fan owned model no longer fitted in its original simple mode. The charlatan that is Maguire saw the weaknesses and slotted himself in. The end.

I suppose the old Vaughan sycophants are rubbing their hands at the thought of a fan owned club being relegated? There seems a totally unrealistic expectancy about where we should be in the football pyramid. If the angry mob have such high standards let them show there faces at a CFU meeting. My guess is they are gutless keyboard warriors.

Cant comment on Hull and Stockport, but the board gave McCarthy and Bignot the job. At most he would have been part of a 3 person panel. He would have no part in any sacking.

Tracy Wainwright ordered the kit and signed the new deal with Puma.

Those are the facts. Bend them into whatever narrative suits you.

Isn't it Maguires? Shocking that we can't sell any sponsorship for a Boxing Day fixture. 

If you support of private ownership you are clearly happy with the likes of Vaughan getting their hands on us again.

Lol, give your head a wobble. It's easy to be anti board and offer nothing yourself. They are bleeding volunteers, keyboard warriors like yourself offer nothing constructive and get all angry and arsey everytime it's pointed out. We are a small club, always have been. Sometimes we overachieved, sometimes we underachieve. Obviously mistakes have been made and there is room for improvement but Kneejerk nobheads like yourselves offer nothing.

I would suggest a change to our AGM and board election timetables.

Currently we do this in November to fit in with financial time periods. That means that new boasts members come in part way through a season after all the decisions for that season have been made. That probably adds to their lack of effectiveness.

This should take place in February or March. That way they could put their mark on the club quicker. They could work March and April to put things in place for the close season and the new season ahead. Including decisions on Managerial appointments, player contracts, budgets etc.

Another season with the current lot could be a lot more damaging than JMc, MB or any manager.

The gates going down when we are struggling is nothing new as you will know if you have been following this club as long as you say. Obviously it hurts, I feel it just as much as anyone else. But all this talk of invincible elites is a bit brexity! We all know where that is bleeding leading.

I’ve followed us for 30 years.
I remember there being a culture within the old ISA and that awful them and us type scenarios.
I have given up on this season. There are other threads suggesting we need to start building for next season in the north now. That’s probably a good call as we need to assemble competitively and not just whatever we can attract. Let’s hooe this step backwards ultimately takes us forward in the long run.
