Sack the board

Post by Kieran » Sat Aug 24, 2013 9:27 pm

The club is a [SwearFilter] shambles. Board out, Bayliss out.

Hate to be so negative but we are a joke.

the board and the manager have given there all but now seems the right time for change the question is who would want to run or manage our club

Members will get a chance to vote on those offering themselves for election or re-election at next Friday's AGM.

Could be interesting - but probably not! ;)

You're right, you hear it every time the AGM comes around, people talking big but ultimately doing nothing. This time next week we'll have the exact same manager with the exact same board (more or less)

Easy thing to say, easy thing to write but who would want to take control of the club if they all went?

And before I get all the arse kissing comments, far from it, I'm just asking a serious question.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

At present the way the club is set up is all wrong i.e. directors have no one to answer to and no defined roles,it is not sensible to carry on like this! I am going to propose (at the agm) that we set up a working party (members and board members to discuss/format a totally new structure with a set time scale to come back to the members to vote on this,if we leave it as it is we are just treading water!

Not just treading water - actually in danger of sinking with Bayliss out of his depth and taking the club down with him.

Great bloke .. but time to go Bayliss.

I think we have some good players - I believe our budget is competitive. The clubs a mess we are skint but a lot of this is down to the manager and the board - shit football - low crowds . No commercial activity when it mattered and when we had money [SwearFilter] up against the wall.

No ambition - tin pot. I am hoping someone is waiting in the wings - I think with this lot we will are screwed on the pitch and off it.

I and others can't say if they're true or not. People end up taking it too seriously and thinking its true. But they are good sources.

What are the rumours, and who are the sources?
