Being bald and having at least a working knowledge of the standard of player required to win League One is 90% of the battle. I'd take Dick Campbell any day to get us out of this league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rawlins have been a part of it but they may have been getting fed misinformation from certain members of the board. We’ve had a couple of strong emails that have left us gobsmacked and clueless as to what has driven them. Just a few weeks ago too there was a board decision, led by the chairman, which was completely unjust and quite frankly childish and bullish in its nature. Not the behaviour we’d expect from a board of directors. We’ve sought answers but no proper explanation has been received. The only thing left would be to go public with it all but to be honest I’m not sure if it’s worth the fight. We’ve kept our dealings private and I haven’t said anything against the club the whole time until recently. The problem is that it wouldn’t matter what we say, it will quickly dissipate and just be put down to one of those things like the many other incidents. The board play this to their advantage as the reality is that most people just don’t care about the governance of the club. One thing is, when you start dealing with the club you begin to realise why we are where we are! If the Rawlins don’t turn it around and reshape the board then they are just as culpable. So, who are ‘we’? Im assuming you’re part of the group who are wanting a stake in the club. You've kind of gone so far that you might as well ‘spill the beans’ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, if you know anything about the CI .... it's nowt to do with club governance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R&Y99 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 McCall said in a new interview that Williamson left after signing a PCA. He added we could have tried to get him out of it but they opted not to. Looks like you can expect him to be announced soon then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For far too long, those “leading” the Club have gotten away with murder, which is why the wider fanbase never get to hear about what’s really going on behind the scenes. The place is riddled with self-important incompetents who are driven purely by self-interest. They must be outed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a criticism either way if they think he's the best person for the job btw, just interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I thought they'd sorted out a shortlist already. All very amateurish as per normal. Christ we're they actually thinking about paying comp for Rice? There must be better than him out there if we've got cash to get someone out a contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Easy for me to sit here and say this but aye, if the board are being arsey with the CI folks, they absolutely should make it visible to the fans. Our board have absolutely lost the run of themselves in recent years and they ought not to be allowed to carry on like they do under the protection of respect and privacy that they afford to no one else, not least the paying customers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will need to discuss further. The main point of contention is with regards to myself so I need to weigh up the potential reaction to that too and how it may affect me. We are together on this though and will take in to account what is said on here as to the next step but if anything is said it will most likely be to the members of our FB group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilostmyself Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 So after the club statement last week I'm guessing he must have applied and he's made the shortlist for interview so that's why we've now had to ask Hamilton? I think that's the only sensible way. I don't think his time at Hamilton has me convinced he's the boss for us, particularly when we have no youth players to bring through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
