It’s the ‘clear directive that became noticeable a number of months ago’, the praise for Michelle and Roj, the total absence of thanks or praise for AchingHead, Sharp and CEO Roberts, and the bit on James Moody fighting the Merch Labs corner to the very end. That all suggests to me that there is huge tension and massive internal difficulty at the Club. Can we read into this, on top of Smoking Goat’s comments about Sharp, that the problems are now not just confined to the boardroom and the two factions power-pissing in there? Has the whole place gone toxic again?

If you’re going to go out in a blaze of glory, be classy about it. Well done ML.

Having had time to digest it the Friday and Saturday are absolutely abysmal. I understand there’s an audience for the Sunday stuff though not my cup of tea at all. Still not sure there’s enough to shift tickets for that night still.

I know it’s local bands and tribute acts on the Friday, but where are you looking for the Saturday line-up? I did see D:Ream mentioned somewhere, though I can’t find that now.

On this video. Brandon Bloc, Phats and Small, Livin Joy and Capella – https://www.instagram.com/reel/DH_q-PgscUw/?igsh=bWYzajNqdThqZHJs

All a bit one dimensional, isn’t it?

Marco’s sojourn on the pitch when he has contributed literally nothing to SUFC, taking the praise from those who did good work to save the club. The man didn’t even carry a bucket.

Are you suggesting he should be in one?

Do you think the club has an actual strategy or was it all hot air from ‘Sharpy’?

Clearly there was A Strategy! Public outcry before it had even been officially launched made it clear it would not be received well, even if inaccuracies about it were floating around and influencing opinion. That whole episode was a shitshow, and so now the Club has to find Another Strategy. I don’t think the actual shareholding drive has too much to do with the recent debacle, actually – it has been ongoing for several months. However, the timing of mentioning it again this week was perhaps a way for the Club (or Sharp) to say “Alright then, mouthy c*nts, step up and put something in”.

So a Hilton with real money? Lucrative and OTT 2/3 year contracts and decides after 1 season that he’s had enough. Been there – don’t like it!
In case you’ve missed it Michelle & Co have given us a successful football club under extreme difficulties, something that looked unlikely a year or so ago. Your constant sniping has become tedious, can’t you look for the positives at least some of the time?

Now is obviously the time for a carefully planned and well-orchestrated move by the supporters to secure some significant part of ownership of the Club. This, in my opinion, obviously has to be done through a formal body such as the Trust, who already have a respectable shareholding and have decent infrastructure in place. I’m sure that there would be volunteers willing to contribute the necessary time and their expertise (legals, etc), and plenty of supporters who would be willing to join a monthly subscription service to generate funds to buy more shares.

What have they really done other than get the government to stump up most of the money for the ground

“… other than…”

Wow. And you think that was easy, or that we should take it for granted?

It looks like they properly pulled the plug before they went, too. I went online to buy something and noticed this last night…

Unless you’re Kevin Keegan, who does but doesn’t know where the corner is.

The club needs money obviously. I am a pensioner, how many £20 shares do the club expect an individual to purchase?

The minimum purchase is 5 shares (so the cost would be £100).

Too short a time space between the announcement (yesterday) and the first meeting (today).
Yeah, it says you can arrange an individual appointment but better to see & hear the full presentation.

I think you’re splitting hairs and, effectively, complaining about nothing. You’ll actually get a much more personal version of the ‘presentation’ if you arrange to visit GP in your own good time. Michelle is accommodating and will talk to you, and it’s a good opportunity to have your questions answered without getting crowded out at something bigger.

Reactionary? Mismanaged? Poorly Executed?

A change in direction? Do we have a strategy and a vision.
We just seem to be bumming along, awash in the current of uncertainty… not knowing which lifeboat to swim to.

Reactionary, yes it appears to be. At least they’re doing something when it’s clear they can’t do nothing.

If his Chester halftime performance is anything to go by I would hope it isn’t Zanetti

That’s what I mean. Is Zanetti hiring ‘the building’ as it were, and providing his own teams for absolutely everything? Or is the Club responsible for all logistics, and Zanetti merely supplying the acts, facing up the promo and twatting a noseful in the tunnel on a matchday?

[Apollo11]

I did think on Saturday (Southport) that for the first time Beck had a solid game and his general strength and hold-up play was an asset to the overall performance. I also thought Whitehall would have been on the floor on several of those occasions, appealing for a free kick.

As someone who works in events and have been in planning meetings for some of the capitals biggest occasions it’s hard to what these people have done from the website with regards getting 10k people there for a festival.Theres no info at all around any special measures.

The more I think about it now, the more I’ll be surprised if it goes ahead. It would be interesting to know just who is officially in charge of the logistics and infrastructure around this event – the new stadium manager?

The reason there seems to be no action makes it more of a reason to explain what the debt is for .. i say again it’s a huge sum of money to casually write off.

The silence absolutely speaks for itself, imho
