Quote: UllFC "The biggest issue for me is the lack of communication. For example he has repeatedly said last years squad was at 'full cap' when logic suggests cuts were made to strengthen finances.
He made it clear the covid loan was a drain in the club, told us when it was due to be paid back, but then hasn't confirmed if it has or not.
I understand that when passes for 2024 went on sale he couldn't say 'sorry guys I'm cutting corners and risk is we will drop down the table' but there's a middle ground between that and telling us the club is still being funded fully and all our issues are bad luck.'"
That was something I was going to mention as well in my earlier post regarding things creating the toxicity, anger, hate etc and you and Chris71 have mentioned it: false promises. I don't know if we were at full cap or not and to be honest I'm not sure whether I find it more palatable that our owner lied to us or whether it would be better to believe that we so badly misspent the cap.
But whilst something like that is debatable, the bullish promises about being competitive and then serving up what we did just aren't up for debate. That's something he has been guilty of for a number of years. Fair enough, he's got pass sales to think of as you say and even generating enough interest for pay at the gate supporters to attend. But I think to repeatedly make such statements and then failing to deliver has added to the toxicity that is around.
