Are you deaf/dumb/blind or just rabbits in the headlights? The basic job of the board seems to be being ignored by you. When will someone come out and make a statement? At this point it's pretty obvious no one will or has the power to do or say anything. Just deferring all responsibility to Steve. i guess some of you may have told Steve privately our managers a clown and our team is a joke, however you stay and take his money and keep your heads down and gobs shut. How does that feel? Someone needs to man up! Now!! They only need to bend and splay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a usual business the board would appoint and monitor the performance of the Chief Exec, who would have authority to hire and fire senior people. SL has the final decision on hiring and firing managers so, whatever his official title, he is a CE. The process at City is back to front as SL, the Chief Exec, appoints the board! Even if they feel the club is not being run properly, due to poor performance by LJ or SL, they can't sack either. That's why I feel they are really senior managers Dawe picked SC, but he had no authority to appoint him. I'm sure that SL has said that he had agreed to Dawe's suggestion because previously he had ignored his suggestions. That's not really collective decision making because there is really only one person who makes the big decisions - SL. Can Keith Dawe pick the next one then? *runs off to send Keith Dawe tweets, Facebook posts, text messages and letters telling him how great Gary Rowett is* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Back in the Middle Ages, even the house of a merchant would typically only have a table made from boards with only one chair. The majority of the household sat on benches, or the floor, with the senior person sitting in the chair. Hence the expression "chairman of the board". Perhaps so much money has been spent on the ground that SL can only afford planks for a meeting table and only one chair, that Keith Dawe is allowed to sit on. That's why he's called "the chairman of board" even though he doesn't do much. Far fetched you say, but can you think of a better reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your answer is look at 1982 blah de blah then that's just comparing crap with crap. Our club, not the conrete and plastic, not SL's bank balance, not potential. So what's left of BCFC? We're surrounded by the corporate crap of a lower placed Prem team with the real chance Rovers with their tent and plastic chairs will be above us next season. Wake up!

Clearly for the likes of you, Ivor , Ben "Ultra" and Mile Hertz- there is nothing worth supporting at BCFC- so don't and save yourself and others a whole lot of hurt and do something else.

Of course I'm angry, aren't you? If not why not? My families club since 1894, don't you dare tell me to do something else. For some of us this club means more than kowtowing to SL and clapping like performing sea lions at abject performances on the pitch and incompetence/arrogance in the boardroom.

Agreed I think city fans are allowed to feel angry. We should have established ourselves In league. Yet for some reason we are precariously close to beckoning the Rocers once more.

There was zero personal abuse- not my style. What I made clear is that if you feel that EVERYTHING to do with BCFC is wrong, bad, incompetent, from the academy to the first team, manager, board, owner and employees- what the hell are you doing still supporting this club? And if you think OTIB is evidence of your own constantly negative views then why oh why would City get near 6000 away fans supporting their team very vocally in the last two away matches. They clearly think there's something still worth supporting as do I. 8 hours ago, RumRed said: Of course I'm angry, aren't you? If not why not?

I repeat: if you are that angry and that negative- do something else and save your self the hurt. I'm not angry because I don't believe our problems are the end of the world or a personal slight to me. I'm not angry because the memory of my best ever season as a supporter which no one predicted is still fresh in my memory. I'm not angry because so far we haven't been relegated.
