I'm not playing cat and mouse. I will give the whole sordid tale to anyone who wants to make themselves known. But it's easier for some just to snipe behind an alias- the worst facet of social media.

I'm pretty sure I came out of the closet quickly after my elevation 3 years ago. I'm also sure I never poured vitriol in anyone else's direction. I was told quite bluntly by most on here to vacate these boards. But I've responded because I'm sick of being sniped at. If people want to continue doing so, hiding behind a keyboard, so be it. It says more about them then it does me...

Point taken Mr C. I would add that I wasn't one of those that bluntly told you to vacate the board, and I'll be forever grateful for how you saved this club. You did state at the beginning of your tenure that you would be completely "open and honest" with the supporters. In retrospect can you say that you have been?
Just one more thing from me on this topic. Can you openly and honestly state which announcement will come first, the sale of season tickets date or the future of the ground?
Please carry on the excellent work.

Would there not be some mileage in now, at this crucial point on our history which leaving Our ground is, having an open forum at Belle Vue where all questions can be answered openly and honestly? If you're willing to discuss it with anyone anyway then why not get it out there for all to hear whilst making a couple of bob at the bar as well? Maybe then it would help the masses understand and accept the situation?

Yes I would say I've being open and honest. If anyone can find a lie, please present it.

Where we will be playing will have to be announced before season tickets go on sale.

I don't think an open forum is necessary right now because I don't have the answers, just the facts of what has gone on in the 3 years I've been involved.

I have 3 separate meetings on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from which we are trying to get the best solution. It is akin to swimming in concrete, never mind treacle!

What I will discuss with anyone face to face, is what we've been through and where we are right now. I'll be there from 10.30 tomorrow until about 8 o clock. It's not hard to find me.

Will you be wearing a pink carnation just to make sure.

For me, the whole thing boils down to trust. I've never met MC but what I do know is that the club has been turned around financially, and when I think back through his stewardship of the club I cannot think of a single misstep that put the club in jeopardy. He's recruited the right people, stabilised everything and negotiated things well, like the new lease.

So trust? Do I trust him to do the right thing about the ground and for the right reasons? Yes, I do, and I'm content as a fan to let let those people involved in making decisions simply get on with it and have no need for constant and regular updates.

Fair enough. I think most of us know the level of brown stuff we have been in previously and for that you deserve nothing but thanks. It would be nice though to know what the current situation is and where we may be heading. Its maybe though not convenient for everyone who wants to know to whats going on to just call in, likewise i imagine you have better things to do on a matchday. Maybe a twitter q&a at some point could be an option, at least that way you could see who is asking the questions. It's something done by many sports organisations these days.

With Slugger on this.
I'm watching the cycling at the moment. It all pales in to insignificance in comparison to SP and one or two others on here furiously back pedalling!!!

Funny that, I'm watching the same and thinking the same

Even on twitter people can hide behind alises as the many parody accounts show. All MC wants to do is "face his accusers " . People get brave when hiding behind a screen, you probs would say things you wouldn't say to his face which isn't right.

I have met him Slugger. I attended the launch of Snowies Trinity brewery in the Cats Bar. I stood out like a sore thumb as the only one there in a Cas shirt but MC made a point of coming over for a chat. I was amazed how open he was as I never actually asked any questions he just volunteered the information. I know I came away thinking that the club couldn't be in better hands and it was nothing to do with the excellent Belle Vue Blonde.

Which is why i initially suggested an open forum where everybody can ask their questions face to face all at once. He doesn't feel that is appropriate right now which is fine, so i thought a twitter chat where everybody can see might be the way forward. If a question is under an unknown alias, don't answer it. I don't think one to ones will help as it may be good for that certain person but thats how chinese whispers start and can create more problems than they solve.

Just about sums it up for me as well Slugger.

You have your chance, put up or shut up, you're an arch critic, the guy has given a chance to to have a one to one, take it.
