If we all bet on him the odds will go down and he will become an even greater favourite.

Dear Mr WG your posts have an authoritarian air about them and it always appears that you know that little bit more or are in the know. When actually what is transpiring is that you don’t and you aren’t!
People have started to question your posts and now you have got really nasty about/to them.
For instance this post is actually a Twitter exchange with the Fan Director. Who is like the rest of us a mushroom, kept in the dark and fed on shit.
If the fan director, COO or any other party does actually know what is going on they would not nor could not divulge.

Cox
He wasn’t good enough when we finished 3rd bottom, we carried on and persisted, it got worse we lost our League status.
This is not a knee jerk, Hill actually made us worse than even Cox’s teams, the warning was there last season and I cannot see things changing.
Been resoundly beaten by a team tipped to go down this season in Maidenhead and an average team in Woking.
The goals we are conceding are the big worry, very similar to last season when teams pick the ball up deep and run at certain defenders. O’Malley and Taft being the prime culprits.
When Yeovil brought that number 15 on it changed the game, we play too narrow packing the central midfield leaving the fullbacks space to attack but exposed when defending.

Just waiting for BlunderBalls to tell me who the next manager should be, plug him like hell to get him appointed and then disappear for months cos he is another complete PLUM.

No sorry, he has to go we are pumping the ball long and high, whilst other teams play on the ground and score in the six yard box from low hard crosses.
Other teams have highlighted our weaknesses ie O,Malley and Taft and are exploiting for fun. The Lancashire Cold-pot has to go.

I think these “unknown bidders” will have agreed terms and be taking the Fit and proper test until next May.
I think Ernie will trot this line out at least twice more during the season.
The anonymous bidders will all prove to be unsuitable and untrustworthy to take over our club and unable to produce the monies required.

Neil is on the clubs board as a fan director, but with all due respect Neil and Lee only know what they are told by Ernest.
Therein lies the problem, and as other bidders have walked away, what is happening with the latest supposed bid?
Ernest has been known to tell the odd whopper so why should we believe him that a bid actually exists.

It seems very quiet on the takeover, odd little rumour about the bidding party having passed the FA fit and proper person test.
Other than that zilch. Does anybody actually know who the group is ie names.
Also if the bidders wanted to avoid publicity why would they let Ernie announce there even was a bid.
Beginning to think there is no bid and it’s just another ruse to get the fans back on board and continue Mr Turnbull’s successful rebuilding of moral on and off the field, without the negative shadow of Ernest Pawn undermining things.
I have no issue with the rebuilding of the club and as we have a silent owner I for one would prefer him to be err silent.

Maidenhead played the ball on the floor and ran at our defence pinpointing Taft and O’Malley in particular. They scored with their first two attacks putting the ball in the six yard box exactly where goals are scored.
Two of their goals were scored on the goal line far too simply.
We had a lot of good chances hitting the bar and post as well as scoring a well placed penalty and a classic header into the box from a good cross.
The worry for me was how often we pumped the ball high and long for Nutall.
We should learn from Maidenhead who played the ball through the channels and on the ground.

If your rumours are true that others have walked away can only be a good thing, we want someone who is committed to the club not someone who gives up at the first hurdle, most deals fail because the buyer can’t come up with the finance not being fed bullshit, just look at the Derby saga.
As ever you spectacularly miss the point and wonder off on a tangent all of your own.
You could throw yourself at the floor and miss.

Grant Shapes recieves £84,144 basic salary in May of this year he received a payrise of £2,212. He also received £71,673 as minister of state in the cabinet. A whopping £155,817.
Average train driver salaries £24,000-£60,000 depending on experience.
If you take away the right to protest (strike in this case) the gap will widen between the well paid few and a better paid many.
The French manage to protest extremely well and retire at 62 the Macron government tried to raise this to 64 amidst much national protest, theirs remains 62. Ours went up from 65 to 66 and soon to be 67 without even the bat of an eyelid.
MP pensions are based on final salary and paid at 65. Mr Shapps has a personal fortune of £1.2 million and has his own private jet.
If anybody thinks Mr Shapps gives a flying f### about train travellers or train driver salaries they are much mistaken and to curb the right to protest about anything is detrimental the democratic process, which is being slowly eroded anyway.
That’s why the fuel bill for the 400 mile round trip to Maidenhead from Scunthorpe will cost circa £70. Diesel/petrol prices at the forecourt are being artificially held up in line with other energy costs.
Maybe we should worry more about 9:1% inflation on everything, fuel bills of over £3000 per annum. The £200 rise in NI contributions per person since April 1st this year then 100,000 Train drivers getting 7% still below the current rate of inflation.
Might I also suggest that the payrise be paid for out of the additional 4.5 billion for Crossrail up from 14.5 billion to 18.5 billion.
In December 2020 the Government agreed £825 million finance deal with Tfl, the then transport secretary was a one Grant Shapps.
Who by the way is a complete tosser, I would be very disappointed if Ernie is not a Tory, the similarities are too numerous to mention.

Awaywego as usual misses most of the point or all of it, then comes back with a comment both in support and against something.
Centrica has announced record profits of 1.34 billion, so why are we paying such high energy bills, especially when only 5% of our domestic gas supply comes from Russia?
As for Maidenhead we can always go by car at £10 a gallon.

On the 13th of August they are!.
Good its time to stand up to these billionaires who dont give a flying fuck about the common working man, rising prices, house fuel bills, petrol/diesel prices, inflation at 9% and rising, no spare income to go to Maidenhead or any other London centric ground, public transport services we get 20 metre strip of tarmac whilst Cross Rail cost 18 billion and rising.

Has anyone factored in COVID and Bolton Wanderers from Ernie’s excuses.
Ernie fails to factor in umpteen crap managers, selling Aduleken, Holmes,Townsend and Wallace and not replacing them quality wise.
Oh and selling Paddy Madden our last regular goalscorer to be replaced by nobody able to score more than 10 in any season. Or as currently a team unable to score 10 between them.
Ernie did not lose interest he simply fails to deliver on anything, his attention and money was diverted to the Sands Venue, a multi-million investment of a 5 star hotel in errr Blackpool the home of B&Bs stag n hen weekends and scotch week. Popular for donkies, kiss me quick hats and rock!
Blackpool also once had the worse ever football club chairman!!!!!!
