Title: Pat on the back for the VSC guys
Post by: twinkletoes on November 10, 2013, 09:24:42 pm
I really feel for you VSC guys. This barrage of unnecessary insults and criticism will hopefully stop shortly. Stand up for what you believe in and stay strong. I for one support all you do and say. I always remember that you all give your time and input and valuable advice to this forum and the general running of the VSC on a voluntary basis. Commendable and appreciated. Keep up the good work and a huge pat on the back for you all. IRWT

I am with twinkles.....Some of what people are saying is without any foundation at all.  Just spouting their view from a keyboard.

And a pat on the back for Twinkletoes as well for rushing in where angels fear to tread.

Well done the VSC guys. All of them. They have discharged their legally enforceable obligations with honour, care and sensitivity. If anyone thinks JR went because of a few folk on a forum, well, they haven't been able to work out what 15 years means about the man and about what that implies for his reason for leaving.

I did think long and hard before posting on here. But it had to be said. They are at the end of the day, humans with feelings, families, and friends like everyone else. People seems to think the VSC runs itself and it's just not the case. There is an awful lot of "behind the scene" work done that the majority aren't even aware of.  It's often forgotten when people get on the political football forum treadmill. Thanks BobG  IRWT

At the end of the day if people were genuinely as arsed as they're making out by kicking off on here or in that bas**rd facebook group which is becoming embarrassing to read nowadays they'd either attempt to get elected as a director and effect change themselves, or join and then do so.

This..

Having different views on events is all well and good, but if they disagree so strongly, then they should do something about it..

Thank you everyone. All we've done is what we were appointed to do and we've done it diligently.

The VSC have done what they feel right for the trust and club, some have on occasions overstepped the mark as have posters including me have.

But both TB and JR have said the only reasons the deal from Sequentia has not gone through yet was that the money being paid to them was not being paid up front, it appears it is now.

Therefore the allegations about Sequentia  were not the problem with any deal. Yet it was the main drive of the VSC and other forum members in the know.

 Most important thing for me is what happens from now, Paul Dickov be allowed to bring in at least two more loanees before the next game. Can the budget afford to keep players we have, will the takeover go through now.

No its not.
The VSC have done exactly what they were supposed to do in such a situation to try and stop history repeating itself and for that that they get my full backing. I'm a business man and have supported the Rovers for over 50 years and I'm flabbergasted how easily people will sell their soul without questions to a faceless purchaser with a half baked plan. I wish I'd have thought of it. Its no wonder people get in to finacial trouble so easily. Roll up, roll up come and buy these majic beans........................

Spot on. Maybe one reason TB has been so keen to see some money up front from SC is for irrefutable evidence they really have the money and are genuinely prepared to part with it.

Perhaps you would spend your time more profitably looking at the bigger picture than pissing yourself laughing Norfolk. Well done VSC keep up the good work of protecting this  OUR club.

At the end of the day it is too easy to put two fingers on a keyboard and type before thinking or before all the facts are known.

So may times the flack is thrown in the wrong direction, names are called wrong assumptions made.

The VSC is made up of people giving their time for nothing only a love of the club. At the end of the day JR is a big boy quite capable of making his own decisions be they in the view of some right or wrong. Moaning about the VSC won't change his mind one way or the other.

As an aside,

It was obvious something was up on Friday when Norfolk posted this thread.. http://www.drfc-vsc.co.uk/index.php?topic=243073.0  the reason I say that is because Claire posted it on her FB page, she is always so careful what she does and doesn't post, so to me it was obvious that JR sanctioned that post ..

I strongly support the OP as well

I think that the VSC have taken the moral and correct high ground through out this period.

We are all loses, the club and John.

 John's gone probably thinking he would get 100% support and forced by supporters to come back, but just look back at the comments, he has failed miserably.

 We have lost a very charismatic chairman who probably thinks he will be back by popular demand and I fear he has got that wrong.

It is too late now John what will be will be.

I wish Mr. Watson well whom I believe to be unwell again.
