I’d like to know what Johnathan Legard knows Big decisions facing chesterfc supporters tonight about future of their fan-owned club. IMO status quo will lead to ruin. Changes needed. Expertise available and ready to go IF board is brave. Time to seize the offer and rise again #believe #unity A reply from him to a comment on that tweet, "All should become clear at the meeting. Longstanding CFC fans with money and energy to take the club forward still as a fan-owned club, if given approval. Other changes would follow to beat relegation, increase revenue and build a firmer structure" Have posted this several times from his open letter: This is a time to acknowledge that there is a strong group of determined, successful, highly motivated, well connected Chester supporters ready and willing to apply their skills and take whatever tough, unpleasant decisions are necessary - as in any business - to give the club the best chance of surviving this season, ideally in the National League, and well beyond
Obvious that someone (MM) has approached and put together a consortium ready to step in

Depressing stuff.
We need a a charismatic leader, somebody to rally around. This board have been negligent in the highest order to let it get to this point without raising the alarm. Sounds like a vote of no confidence could be on its way.

Mark Jones, joined in October, sits on Ops Board, works with Rich Lynes on governance - has been looking at Data Protection regulations...... (FFS, lets do the important stuff!!!)
David O'Toole - starts by saying "sorry" "we need to take responsibility, we failed you"..... mentions his tweets..... was embarrassed..... "people coming to him with rumours regarding MM"..... "in CFC, information leaks and rumours get out"..... "no directors came from Hartlepool.... Hartlepool mail came out with CFC financial problems before club did, as did other local reporters...." D.O'T did work to try and improve CFU membership levels.... Is no longer with membership....

Potential unpopular opinion here, I’m feeling sorry for the board particularly Jonny. They’re all fans and they’re getting attacked from all sides here. I understand the anger but nobody questioned the budget when it was proposed and nobody moaned about the signings of Ross Hannah and Kingsley James when they weee announced either. Why are we expecting volunteers to be able to see into the future if we couldn’t? No but they could have been shouting from the roof tops a lot earlier that we where heading this way instead of putting their heads in the sand. |

Lawrence (finance director) says happy to retire to golf course if the meeting so wishes. Says the Board is the product of the apathy. Says membership level ‘is a joke’.

Lawrence Kirby "we're moving down the line here, getting closer to the end...." (hope that pun wasn't intended....)
LK offers to retire to the golf club if people aren't happy with him.... gets applause from fans....
Blames apathy for the clubs failing, citing "only 1000 CFU members"..... (Obviously expects fans to just sign up and blindly back the club with no duty on the board to actually make an effort..."
"250 people voted at last election", "you get what you vote for"....

As shambolic as this board have clearly been, there are apathy levels around the club and that's shown by the CFU numbers. Hopefully, we can see this storm out but if we do, we need to rally around the club in a big way. |

Q: If the Board walks tonight what do we do tomorrow? Jonathan Legard is ready: This is a time to acknowledge that there is a strong group of determined, successful, highly motivated, well connected Chester supporters ready and willing to apply their skills and take whatever tough, unpleasant decisions are necessary - as in any business - to give the club the best chance of surviving this season, ideally in the National League, and well beyond

How ready is ready? The Legard thing is frustrating. He is continually dropping hints, with no substance. Does anybody have an idea what/who he is referring to? |
