It's the same mentality of those who complain that the club is secretive and fans aren't kept informed or consulted (I always struggle with the notion of fans demanding to be consulted - invest a few £100k and put your house on the line, then you can have all the consultation you want).
If you tell 'em nowt, you are keeping them in the dark - if you are open and honest, you are an unprofessional gobe.
Can't win.

| I actually have no problem with you, I may not like some of the things you do but this is a forum and I am just registering my view. I accept that the few left posting on the forum accept how you handle things which is fine.
I will give you one piece of advice which I suggest you heed try to avoid the rough and bunkers tomorrow because both are destructive to your score.

Totally agree, it's like me buying a Ticket for Thorpe Park and then expecting to be included in all future planning and day to day operations of the venue. It's all part of the general sense of entitlement that people seem to have these days. Mind you seeing Politicians, and business cow-towing to the Titter mob and coppers going down on one knee doesn't dissuade them of this peculiar belief.

| I shall say this only once because you have obviously just jumped on the bandwagon. I do not want to know about the behind the scene negotiations so your post at best is completely wide of the mark. I know I have no entitlement to know and I am quite happy with that much in the way the club will not discuss signings until completed.
I am not sure what the BLM movement and people’s reactions have to do with this topic.

Maybe not but you are unique in as much as other CEO's don't use this forum for they're own ends, by coming on here posting you leave your posts open to interpretation from fans, mainly from fans what believe in you and those others that think you have a motive, scarlet is a fan of the club and not necessarily a fan of yours, as a paying fan of the club he is entitled to an opinion whether it differs from yours isn't the point, if you feel the need to post on here then you should be big enough to take the criticism along with plaudits, the decisions you make are your to do so as you think fit, surely your old enough and wise enough to realise that maybe you can't please everybody, this is not a criticism of you btw just simply an observation.

You make out it's about opinions, when what actually happens is MC shares FACTUAL insights and information with fans.
I for one, am glad we have such an open and accessible CEO - it's better than the alternative.
And no, I don't agree with everything MC says or does.
I am not clever enough to run a SL club, but I am clever enough to recognise that MC is. On that, I trust that he has the best interests of the club at the centre of his efforts.

So learn to use the quote function then.
And the full stop key.

This is a forum, it's about opinions not censorship, I too can't wait for MC to come on here and share the FACTUAL insights and information with the fans, unfortunately those FACTUAL insights and information you naively dream about will only tell you what he thinks you need to know and bare little consequence to what's happening in the real world which doesn't quite fit in with your open and accessible CEO theory which is how it should be and is my point entirely, he should not be discussing club business on here other than telling you how many ST the club's sold along with shirts etc etc, putting you on the horse and not giving you a ride springs to mind here.

BLM as an example, seemed the most current, I can be more obscure if you wish?

Who is being censored?
When there are 2 opposing opinions, or sources of information regarding WT, I'm gonna believe the person who is "there", not the bloke who heard it from his barbers, sisters, window cleaner.
You might be happy with simply knowing how many shirts or STs have been sold, but many others "demand" to know much more.
In reality, MC doesn't seem to come on here and share unsolicited information - he comes on to add corrections and context when some know-it-all has been spouting utter garbage.

Nobody is being censored as well you know so don't try and be smart.

The opposing opinion is that scarlet pimpernel said the CEO in his OPINION should not be coming on here using this board to leak certain things about a player as he thought it was unprofessional, the CEO had a different OPINION to this and said so, in my OPINION I agreed with scarlet pimpernel and said so, your OPINION differed to mine, so we all have different OPINIONS, so what's your problem with that? maybe the CEO has the hump on with the bloke from the chippy whose barbers sisters window cleaning boyfriend leaked it out before him
WTF are you on about!!?
YOU introduced the notion that someone was being censored, as opposed to having opinions discussed.
I stated I preferred the dialogue that our CEO provides on social media. You stress that others can have different opinions to mine, but you do this by capitalising the word opinion 6 times, to underline that you mean opinions you agree with and not the differing opinion of others!
MC came on here to correct some spurious info (not the first time), in order to correct untruths and misrepresentations that couldn't be allowed to go unchallenged.
If you don't like the forum, log off.

What spurious information, untruths and misrepresentation did I make, please enlighten me.
That’s the problem with the forum it cannot take many more leaving it just because you and others don’t like being questioned.
