We will be leaving the club at the end of the season and handing over the club to a new owner with the resources we lack.

They've already said that.....providing Ellis takes over.

He's stated that aim in past.

In this latest interview, what would you like him to say that would inspire you?

What was uninspiring? That he's aiming to be a grade A club?

Starting with an apology to fans would be a good start, followed by actually leaving the club and stopping the silly delay tactics

So is every club...

Stop being childish and tell us what he should have said that would be inspiring.

An apology won't change how I feel about where the club is.

He's stated his willingness/intention to leave.

Apart from the tin-foil brigade, there is nothing out there that shows that Minards is the speedbump in the takeover.

I'd have liked to hear that the takeover is on track/nearly done/completed, but it clearly isn't.

So what's more inspiring that aiming to be the best?

I’ve told you unless I missed his comment confirming he was leaving, all I read was a man trying to justify why he should remain because of his understanding of the IMG rating.

It’s a good interview and sounds we are alll over the IMG process and long term aim of a grade A. Yes it sad we’re looking like getting relegated but not end of the world especially if take over goes through. If all goes to plan we are/will be in a better position than a few clubs already in SL.

Up the Trin

I read that, made me realise we’re not that bad after all.

Up the Trin

You do know it was not a statement, but a series of journalist-edited responses to questions posed to him in interview?

It's getting tiresome explaining all this.

1) he and Carter have said on numerous occasions that they are looking to transfer ownership to Ellis.
2) he has a role of CEO in addition to shareholder.
It is up to Ellis not Minards who should be CEO in new setup. He can't block, hold on, remain or whatever the current word is unless he's asked to stay.
3) at the shareholders meeting someone asked if he would stay. He said he hadn't intended to but if asked he would help the club any way he could. It was then suggested by a member not him that he'd be useful to see the stadium projects through to the end.

Perhaps he’d like to say that but can’t because something - not necessarily somebody- is holding up the deal.
Silly comments made about either MC or JM holding up the deal
Are easy to make without a shred of evidence to support them.
JM has said all he can say- all of it seems to be for the benefit of the club!
Am I missing something or is there an obvious reason I cannot detect why either one would want to hold up the deal?

There is now an extended Q&A with jm on the yorkshire post (id had a link if i could)theres more in about the take over (if there is one)amongst other things worth a read you will agree and like some stuff and probally disagree with others.
