But if they can't do something without their permission, and the permission is not given, it might just be a simple explanation as to why something wasn't done.
Unless we are now holding people accountable for things that they have no power to do?
In which case.... I blame the board for not compulsorily purchasing a nice chunk of land around the Boleyn, knocking down the old stadium and other properties on 'our' newly purchased land, and building a state of the art stadium directly on the site of the old one. This whole shambles could have been avoided if they has just done that, but oh no... ;wink
I’d say they’re rattled......
Not sure why people insist on seeing it in confrontational terms.
They aren't going to be bullied/threatened into doing anything they don't want to, so I don't see where 'rattled' comes into it.
That would be a first, then.
Seriously, what do you imagine the impact will be on them? Because I think it will be zero.
They don't have shareholders to answer to. They can do what they like.
Do you honestly think a few thousand (or tens of thousands for that matter) of fans marching and chanting 'sack the board' is going to have any impact on Diddy Dee's sense of self-esteem?
I appreciate that lots of people involved in this coalition are actually trying to bring about genuine improvements in the match day experience, but some (and I number a lot of the RWHF folks in that group) come across as having a very different aim.
While they might have no objection to better stewarding or more flags, from interviews and other stuff I've read they come across as more interested in 'punishing' the board for leaving the Boleyn (and for being who they are, too - there's a strong whiff of personal animosity about a some of it). My opinion, based on what I've seen them say.
It’s about “change” for the good of the club
I’d say it was a general quote from David Gold and he repeated it at WHUFC, - I’m not going to stay anywhere I’m not wanted, 86% wanted us gone, so we left.
It wasn't very clearly written, so some people point out that it was hard to get through.
That's it.
It is understandable. But it took some effort to understand it - well, it did for me.
It certainly wasn’t “painful” to read, that just seems like a little bit of a cheap dig imo
Perhaps it wasn’t painful to me as I’m not the best writer either?
You didn't find it painful to read. And said so.
Someone else did, and said so.
Seems to me they are both statements of fact.
Not sure why you need to categorise it as a 'dig' never mind a 'cheap' one.
