One or two characters on social media turned up their abuse to Zanetti-on-the-mic volume.

Must have missed it, what’s his link to this FC100 fiasco?
He fronted up the Club’s video announcing the FC100000 deal (filmed last week).

Now that’s piss poor Michelle and shows how naive she is, just one press of a button on Google would have shown what a shit show they’d done before.
As ever with official statements of any kind from anyone or anywhere, you have to realise that they are political moves and do not necessarily reflect the nuances or (sometimes) the actual truth of events. They are the convenient account of events, or the convenient position to take to be able to move things forward under your own narrative steam. Statements are often designed to be shields (or, indeed, swords).
I’d be very interested in a more detailed conversation with the club about the exact state of play as of Saturday with rumours of announcement videos having been filmed and the FC100000 website saying a club had been found. It doesn’t tally up.
You’re going to get the Club’s official statement (I posted it elsewhere) and that’s it.

Honestly think those responsible for foisting that debacle on the club and supporters, particularly at the juncture should do the honourable thing and walk.
There’s a more important question: Why should he continue putting money in if his wings have been clipped so humiliatingly like this?

One of the problems is that there is very little football knowledge / experience in fortress Glanford these days.
There’s a lad who lives local who’s been around, played for and managed a few big clubs. Maybe a seat on the board for him?Ditching Turnbull and replacing him with Roberts looking like a rookie move.

I thoroughly despise everything about fc100000, but what I really can’t take is this was all done on the sly. Very underhand. This is something that should’ve been consulted with fans before anything was signed away.
Whoever tried this on, whoever’s brainchild it was, needs to take a few steps back. Even better, leave the club, tail between legs.
This is the most important point for me – if this had been shared with fans for feedback rather than seemingly being dismissed as a non-story at the AGM then we wouldn’t have seen this level of outrage. The fact that it has been conducted in this manner means either incredible naivity, a lack of respect for the fanbase or they just knew what response it would get and decided to push on in secret.
Whichever it was, it doesn’t fill me with confidence.
What the ‘slyness’ suggests to me is that certain member(s) of the board are merely paying lip-service to the idea of community and supporter involvement etc. It’s literally business as usual.

I reckon that could sum it up. Fingers crossed.
Hopefully more to come – full explanations, contrition, carpetings, sackings. Even if that particular deal is off, trust and relationships are soured for good.

The wheels might have fallen off this venture
“A deal agreed in principle” page taken down and ripped up..? Although from the outside the last 24 hours have been filled with our Club’s official silence (which has frustrated a lot of people), there’s no way there hasn’t been outright panic behind the scenes. Frantic emergency phone calls, disagreements, I-told-you-sos, tears and tantrums, dummies spat, etc… Perhaps the Club has seen sense or perhaps now FC100000 have glimpsed the utter contempt for them from the supporters and bailed..?

Twas only Michelle and Roj who came in the DRE on Saturday guess he’s picked his side.
I don’t disagree. I’m saying people only usually mention Sharp (and CEO Roberts) when they talk about ‘that side’ of the divide.

He bowed to the board on his 5 at the back. And yes we don’t know for sure but Michelle did say words would be had if results continued like they were, they did and low and behold 5 at the back ended.
Integrity now where did I here that, was it Keith Hill and fans on here saying he’d stand up to Swann because he had integrity, that worked well in the end he showed what he was about wouldn’t even take a payoff to go, just wanted his monthly salary which finally ended last year.
A concerned word / bollocking is different to someone micro-managing and doing your job for you.

The fans suss out those that will damage the club very quickly.
That’s not quite true, though, is it? Hence 18 months of post-Hilton division between those who immediately or very quickly suspected, discovered or knew he was a wrong ‘un and those who licked his little round head.
