| Quote: maurice "The answer was so you support the team, I would suggest fans support the club because that is the only fixed element to support - custodians on and off the pitch move on, wanting the best at any given moment is what fans do but I feel from your hatred of one man you would like the club to fail as a way of him moving on. This club has never had the financial investment it currently has and in todays game cash will dictate where a small club finishes, as a fan the ride is great and I cant wait for the 8's and 2019 in SL thanks to Dereks financial input'"
OK you're making me feel slightly nauseous now. I get it, you worship the ground he walks on. Well done, I'm pleased for you. |

The Watcher would like to congratulate Mr Latham on his appointment as Chairman. The Watcher hopes he throughly enjoys his time in the prestigious position, The Watcher also hopes that Mr Latham continues doing his present match day role in the longer bar after the games. Good luck Mike.

Perhaps mish preferred the running of the club by the Mick Higgins band of brothers when the club was continuously in the mire. Personally. I think that, apart from a couple of errors along the way. Derek has been like a breath of fresh air to this great club. So you don't like the man mish. Yes wev'e all grasped that. Now get over yourself and enjoy the ride

I suggest that everyone stops talking about it then and get back on topic. We all grasped the fact the I don't like him in my first post, I'm not the one who keeps talking about it. |

| Quote: maurice "We all know that teams, coaches and owners come and go but it's the club that matters. Without Derek's financial input we would not be the club we have been since 2014 and I am sure you can recall the mess we were in prior when your beloved players hadn't been paid and a winding up order from hmrc was 48 hours away.
Derek owns the club, he puts considerable amounts of his money into the club which allows him the right to run it how he wishes, that's how a business that has a majority owner works. He doesn't need opposition in the boardroom he needs people he respects to quietly advise when requested or if they feel the need to, Allan did this previously but was paid to do so by Derek and Arthur before him - something I am sure Mike won't be.
Do I agree with everything Derek does or how he does it, certainly not but that doesn't stop me doing what I can when I can in support of the club I love. The alternative is the bitter and twisted agenda you seem to have, whilst either ignoring or being oblivious to the potential damage you could be doing to something you 'love' or is it just yesterday's players you have that emotion for who now ply their trade elsewhere'"
I don't see anything wrong in people being challenged regardless of position. Just because they make the investment in the club doesn't give them the right to dictate. Second time around for DB and he's come back stronger,no disputing that.
The Club started off £1.2M in credit this season,granted the parachute payment £500k had to be spent on players. Did the Club actually make anything in the SL season which started at £1.8M in credit?
I've no doubt DB carries losses from his investment,and without it yes, the Club wouldn't be in the position it is today.
Hopefully you can answer my questions Mo. Dwelling in the past I don't do I'm afraid,I only know one way and thats forward as often the past has failed. |

When you own something you answer to yourself, surely you grasp that bit. You communicate with your customers, Derek does a lot of that which creates the culture but when it comes to the key decisions democracy with minions is not required. Anyone can challenge anyone legally I suppose, personally if they are irrelevant you ignore them as you end up getting nowhere appeasing fools |

I think you'll find that if they effectively own the club, it does! |

I too as Charlie says would like to see another major investor, as although I have no axe to grind and I’m gratefully for what DB is doing, it is concerning that we appear to have all our eggs in one basket so to speak. And just like MK walking out at Salford where would it leave us if DB walked?'"
Agreed. |
