Is everyone ignoring the fact there has been an open secret that he has been in for the MK Dons job according to their forum since before May 20th. If the board got wind of it they would not like it, if he has got the job the statement shifts the blame onto the board, and he looks good, and it is announced a little later. I await the outcome with interest. He could have been tapped up, or just got fed up with us, the best of luck to him, we can do better. The Accrington manager would interest me. If he does not get the MK job he will pick something up, and although he may not think so it will be because the Board he is now at loggerheads with stood by him when he would have got his cards at any other club.
We've got a VSC Director, a fellow fan with no agenda than making sure the club is run properly in the eyes of fans, having regular one-on-ones with the CEO of the club and feeding back what he has been told in person, and loads of you throw it back in his face if it's not the info you want/expect/like. Other than that what more can we f*cking ask of the club?"Never mind that, I want a statement from the club, in writing, on the website, so I can sleep at night"....WTF?Grow up.
Harsh on Martin that Glyn. He's updating us where he can.

Why does he have to have found principles? It doesn’t mean he’s walked for the good of the club. I genuinely believe he’s gone because he doesn’t believe the resources are there to deliver what he wants, so will go somewhere that he believes matches his ambitions. The unrest in that sense was clear. I would direct you to the interview he gave stating that he doesn’t want to be a league one manager. But you can find it yourself.
The facts are - Rovers were caught cold with DF’s resignation. Yesterday was spent getting the house in order and deciding what they want rather than who they want. I don’t think discussions went on for particularly long on that front either #drfc
Milton Keynes are set to announce their new manager at 5pm tonight, I wonder if it'll be a familiar face...
If Ferguson goes to MK Dons, one assumes we have a pretty strong breach of contract case. If we wanted to pursue that.
It's not a controversial request that the club communicate with the fans at large on very important, somewhat extraordinary issues. It's not controversial at all.
I also think it's important that they maintain some dignity for the club rather than rushing out with comments that have not been fully considered, unlike some others.
At the end of the day, maybe it all comes down to whether or not you have faith in those running and financing our club.I do have faith in them, so I tend on balance to give them the benefit of the doubt in these situations.They will say what needs to be said when they are ready to do so, and that's good enough for me.If taking a little time means that we get a clearer picture, that's fine.

Some posters on here find themselves in the awkward position of wanting the fans to have greater steak in the club, but then thinking the fans don't directly need to be informed.

Just because they haven't told people juicy details that certain people demand, doesn't mean they haven't communicated.

What other industry ignores its patrons like football does, then every year expects your financial support whilst not being listened to on issues that effect the very essence that makes a club what it is , it’s supporters . It is a results based industry and as such our board are under achieving when comes to its 5 year planning strategy. We are privileged to have them but it’s folly to say they are on top of their game.
