It's taken you to leave the top position at the club to engage with fans on the forum. Why now and not then? Quite simple for me - a lot of stuff that goes on at board level is confidential, and that’s just the same as any business. To open yourself up as a board member and / or chair and respond to one post, those that want to throw bricks would then expect you to answer every single point, every single rumour, every single slight on yourself or other volunteers, and then criticise when you did, or did not. Personally my time was limited and I gave every hour I could to being involved at the club, but as you know the last year or so that became increasingly difficult to manage, there was no time to even glance at DC let alone post or get involved. Banksy, Dave Williams and previously Richard did a good enough job in my view, it’s really a no win. Now, whilst I’ve got a bit more time whilst I get treatment and recover, I will only occasionally engage, IF I think I can add something in context or correct a factual wrong - but am still bound by the code of conduct of a director so confidential matters will remain just that. i hope my engagement now is welcomed, but equally if not I shall just stay away altogether and leave the rumour mongers and top business people on here to say whatever they think is right. At the end of the day we support free speech, even if sometimes it is bo**ocks!

You are quite right dhw if every Board member got involved on Deva Chat there would be a constant stream of questions. I appreciate the posts from Banksy who puts us right from time to time.
We are forever grateful for all you did as Chairman and wish you well with your recovery. Do keep posting as a supporter and ignore those who constantly criticise.

Doesn’t SV’s 10 year ban from being a director end this year?. Scary thought!

Now here’s a surprise for you all to wake up to this morning, as yet another club involving the V**gh*ns has gone into oblivion. FC Boca Gibraltar, managed by V**gh*n Jr and sponsored by a company of his named Total Sports Management, have been dissolved after they were expelled from the Gibraltar Premier League. Boca’s players refused to play last weekend having not been paid for the last two months, so their game against Mons Calpe was forfeited. Their problems continued to mount this week, with them having to forfeit a further two matches having breached the ‘Home Grown Player’ rule, while it is unclear whether their owner actually passed the fit and proper persons test. Yesterday it was announced that FC Boca were dissolved, sparking the end of another debacle involving the V**gh*ns.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the list currently stands at: Barrow Chester Widnes Vikings Floriana Bangor FC Boca SIX sports club that the family have taken over and either completely destroyed or taken them to the brink of it. Each time I'm amazed that they get away with doing it, but I'm not surprised anymore.....they'll surface somewhere else soon with the same promises and then a few months later the money mysteriously dries up. When is anyone going to wise up to them?

What I don't quite get is 'why do they bother'. There surely can't be any money to milk out of these clubs.

They are prolific club wreckers. Fans of any club who find themselves subject to a Vaughan takeover need to oppose it with every fibre of their being, and if they're not successful, save yourself time and misery by starting a new club of your own straight away. There's no point in giving them a chance or hoping leopards change their spots, they WILL destroy your club if they get hold of it.

Have a watch of Ozark on Netflix if you want to know how clever money launderers can be.

We could have a lottery as to which country's FA would be stupid enough to accept them next, all profits to the Blues, of course!
