Croasdale got a lot of support over his treatment by the previous manager but he has chosen the wrong battle this time and I'm glad he has walked back with his tail between his legs. Has he? No updates since saying "He's running the club into the ground Mark. You know that, but aren't willing to help do the right thing for the club" |

No wonder they don't engage with him. Just read his twitter drivel - the guy is a complete clown. Ignore.
Would be interested to see what journalism qualifications he has

A post grad you say? Well fair play, Russ Abbott, Daniel Craig and now Charlie. |

There's a board of directors who make the decisions. A BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Its not one man's play thing. Stop stirring it up |

And that's the kind of bullshit I was on about earlier. Throws a handgrenade in and runs away. Destroys a blokes reputation in the process. People like Calvin Hughes aren't the problem here. It's people stirring shit up that is the problem |

Well fair play, Russ Abbott, Daniel Craig and now Charlie. Don't be silly. The guy said he would be interested to see what journalism qualifications Charlie has. I'm not sure why, but I'm assuming the intention was to insinuate Charlie was under-qualified as a journalist, when the reality is Charlie holds a very high level journalism qualification. I'm not sure why that would mean anyone should bow down and listen. Most people like some newspapers and disagree with others. I find the editorial line of some newspapers abhorrent. But there will be talented, qualified journalists working at every one of those newspapers. |

This is an absolute disgrace. The club is on its knees and the people working their arses off to rectify it have to put up with this nonsense from a journalist.

Suggestions are the lad made his comments whilst on the ale? Social media and ale are always a dangerous combination!! Wonder if he'll get banned?

Hopefully his editor will have a quiet word in his ear about acting in a more professional manner.
Asking question's is fair journalism but shit stirring in public isn't.
Make's you wonder why anyone would step forward to help get this club back on an even keel with people like this on your back and shat stirring when he spit's his dummy out.

He’s made a serious allegation against Calvin Hughes, if it’s not true I expect Calvin or the football club to put a complaint in against Charlie but if they don’t and they just leave it then I think we all know the answer.

If Charie was “barred”, I guess Neil Bellis will take it upon himself to report on matters at the club (he’d know about them more than anyone, wouldn’t he?)

A ban? Ridiculous. I know Charlie and he's a reasonable well qualified guy.
Sadly our club is a shambles. Why we we gave McCarthy the manager's job and compounded that by making the wholly incompetent Maguire chief executive god only knows.
McClueless got the role on the strength of one result - the away win at Grimsby.
And Maguire has a shocking record at every club he was associated with.
Two very bad decisions made by the previous CFU board. And we're still counting the cost.

It's people stirring shit up that is the problem Absolutely correct Al. It’s embarrassing people sniping away and spreading rubbish, if you listen to blue4eva it’s as if all board members should be on social media replying 24 hours a day. Where have I said that? In the same post about people sniping and spreading rubbish you literally have made up and posted a lie to the internet. Nice one Seal73 ! You are what you hate  |

I look forward to the expose article in the leader, or a tweeted apology.
Anyone offering odds to which is will be ?

We are in a dark place at the moment especially when board members are arguing back on social media. It is a shambles and I fear like Young said it’s going to get worse before it gets better. I just hope the fans don’t wash their hands off it all. Arguing back? I merely stated a point. He accused a hard working, honest volunteer of running the club down, and me of knowingly letting him. Sorry Matt, but Ive been posting visibly on DC for as long as it has existed and know manyof you in real life. There is not a way I wasn't going to answer him, board member or not. We really have to have a good long discussion about whether we as a fanbase (or as a city even) want a club or not. We have an AGM coming up in Oct / Nov and will need quite a few new board members. Strong, intelligent individuals with time on their hands are rarer than white knight investors with £££s to waste. The shit that people who do dare put their heads above the parapet makes that task even harder. I am at a stage today where I genuinely fear for the future of my club, and for the first time since we set up the ISA back in 1993 where I am questioning whether I have the will left to fight for it. |

Forgive my ignorance (senior moment) ... but I can't remember why Calvin Hughes has blood on his hands. I do remember being advised not to vote for him in the last election. I did not. Is he one of the 6 that should be stepping down?

Is he one of the 6 that should be stepping down? Because he is straight talking and that doesn't suit some people. If I was Calvin I would walk away today and let someone else do it. |

You know when you've had a few shandies and then check your phone the next day cringing at what you've said to people....I'm guessing that's where Charlie is at this morning. I can't imagine his bosses will be too happy with his behaviour either. I'm all for journalists asking the necessary questions but there is a way to do it, and spouting off on Twitter is not it.

I feel for the bloke, and I fear for the future of this football club if lads who have worked night and day to make sure we have a football club to support next season have shite thrown at them on social media from press and fans alike. Whats the point in people volunteering their help to help OUR CLUB? If this is how you want to treat volunteers then you can stick it, I want no part of it. |
