Re: Bamber Bridge
I think a ‘no confidence’ vote if proposed would logically be carried but what then? The BoD resigns and that’s the end of us. That’s the only reason no one would propose it in the first place.
At present there is not a lot of hope for our little club; there is only relegation, meltdown and liquidation on the horizon. The people still owed money by the club will get a percentage as creditors and for them that will be better than nothing. For the rest we will have to try and organise our own rebirth and start again.
With the withdrawal of the Mystery Investor I think we lost our last chance of survival and unless an organisation like the Furness Building Society come in and do a professional community asset based takeover...well...I can’t write the rest.

Re: Bamber Bridge
And we know nothing about them, or their motives but they say they're still interested so we carry a vote of "no confidence" through and then what?supporter for life wrote:If the takeover group are still serious about the club then maybe a vote of no confidence in the current board is called for at the next AGM, whenever that might be.
When you think about it, it's much of a plan it is it?
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

Re: Bamber Bridge
The BOD were quite happy to court them until they realised they would not be getting all their money back

Re: Bamber Bridge
Perhaps a bit of openess by the board would put us in the picture. Despite the "confidentiality clause" we should be given some information about the collapse of the "takeover".
What is the point of being a member of the club?

Re: Bamber Bridge
I'd rather us go bang and start again. I and a few others would much rather watch a side starting at the bottom of the pyramid than watching a club flatline that's lost it's identity with me.

Listen Tinman and Scarecrow, Kansas may exist, but there is certainly no yellow brick road and the only thing at the end of the rainbow is a car park!!

Re: Bamber Bridge
Probably got it right there mate,you and a "FEW" others.Majority would prob like us to fight tooth and nail to get what we want from this league and onward.We need a good manager who can motivate.That will be a good starting point.Klaus Moogintaal wrote:I'd rather us go bang and start again.

I'm with Benj on this to a point.
I wouldn't want to see us voluntarily just start again from the bottom but I could handle us dropping another division whilst we made some fundamental changes.
That said, I don't think making fundamental changes necessarily means that we have to drop again.

That would be the ideal solution but we don't live in an ideal world.
