Swearing I can take I mean we have all done it.

Telling blatant lies about good honest people, people who have stuck up for you and supported you however, that I can't take.

Any ounce of respect I had is now gone, he has taken it too far

That comment is potentially slander although as it was broadcast on the radio I believe it would be classed as libel due to the greater audience.

If it were me I would be demanding a public apology or I would be bringing an action against Bayliss.

He should have been removed from his position at least 12 months ago but 'he loves the club', gives fans his number etc.

He has played alot of you very well until now but his true colours are finally being shown.

Disgraceful

When I was banned for three years from the club I have supported all my life Brian Keen said this.
What can you say? He’s basically hung himself hasn't he. He’s done himself no favours, his friends or us as a club.

I just hope he learns his lesson and others take heed of what can happen. In general we have the best fans of any club but it is sad that you always get that minority who try and ruin it for everyone else and totally let us and themselves down.
I have never so much said a bad word to anyone connected with our club never mind starting on someone then making out that one of our own supporters is a liar.... In fact quite the opposite, It was my honesty that got me banned. I paid the price for that and now it sickens me to know that our own manager and close colleague of Brian can threaten and attack one of our good fans then nothing at all happen.. in fact deny that it even happened when it quite obviously did.

Who's letting the club down now Brian?

Absolute disgrace. Fancy accusing Chris of telling lies!

Can the club be run on attendances of around 500? Because that's all they are going to be getting with Bayliss at the helm.

A lot of people are annoyed over this, and rightly so.

Has the rift between the board and the supporters ever been so big?

It feels like what we see/feel and what they see/feel are two completely different things.

Good on yer Dave Bayliss. Now all that crap is out of the way You and Alex can concentrate on getting the club up the league. True supporters will always be there.

He must have some pictures of some of the BOD in very compromising positions - why he is still in a job I don't know.

Chris is one of the nicest most honest fans you could ever wish to meet - if it had been me I wouldn't have retracted my statement - but Chris being the man he is retracted so as to not cause anymore grief to the club he loves - for the manager then to say in another interview that he lied is outragous.

Do the BOD not realise how much harm they are doing to the club, it's so sad that hardcore fans are close to turning their backs on the club (as it is now) - but this is how it makes you feel. If it makes hardcore fans feel like this how is it playing out in the town i wonder.

Will be less than 500 the way things are going and probably 25% of that 500 will have season tickets.

I've just had a chat with Dawn and we won't be going again until we have a new board and manager.

It's not a decision I have taken lightly, I've just had enough of them all now and my feelings are that I would rather support a pheonix club than put good money after bad into a club under this current regime.

Hmm, Immaturity is the incapacity to use ones intelligence without the guidance of another, the vitriol aimed at Dave Bayliss and the Board are an excellent example.

Bayliss shouldn't be allowed to get away with calling Chris a liar, an official comment from the club is needed on this.

I'm left questioning my own attendance now, certainly doubting whether I'll go on Saturday. The club is [SwearFilter].

Bayliss on radio Cumbria phone in tonight, could be interesting.

Something definitely has to be done, seeing as out Board are happy to sweep it under the carpet it's up to the fans!

All those on this site,(are you one of them barralou) who enjoy casting vitriol and who habitually fill their own minds with the rank poisons of suspicion and hatred and try to spread It, as a rule, take umbrage at those who refuse to do likewise and they find a perverted relief in trying to denigrate them.
