What is going on behind the scenes? We are concerned

oh dear..

The club is in turmoil, i have heard several things today that i think might be true.

Apparently Bill Power wants full control of the club and obviously Devlin is siding with Power, however the Wills family and a couple of others are against this hence the falling out and split between the board, it looks like it could end up with Power and Devlin leaving the club and our club will be in turmoil as we will have no investment and we will be back to square one with Willie Carson and Sandy Gray running the show.

I have also heard something else today that worries me greatly, the players are unhappy because of Paul Ince, they are unhappy because he has come in on a £4,000-£5,000 a week wage and he basically walks straight into the team even though he is clearly very unfit.

Alot of people feel that someone who is almost 39 and has missed pre-season training will not be able to reach the required fitness level.

I think that signing Ince was a bad mistake, Lambert would have been a better signing Ince is a waste of money, he's too old and past his best now, and their seems to be problems within the squar because of him as well.

Things do not look good at all, the club could fall apart and to make things worse maybe Wise will go as well, all this would damage our club severely and we will probably fall further down the league.

All of our optimism for this season could soon disappear, we could end up back in the bad times with no money and a crap board and crap manager.

Except Power isn't on the board so it couldn't be split in the way you assume  

[STFC Bart]

Well its obvious SSW cannot do it on his own- he has drip fed us for years. He needs help.

Put it this way it will be absolute disaster if Power and Devlin go- i think with them so will Wise and the extra 4000 fans.

This current board(except Power and Devlin) are no hopers. We wont really go forward until the Wills family sell up once and for all. Yes they have helped us a olot inthe past, but the time has come to hand the club over to take us forwards, it is obvious that they are unable to do this so let someone else.

If we go back to the days of last season, with Gray as CE and us as a laughing stock again, this club will die

[STFC Bart]

They will probably bring back Andy King as well

[Simon Pieman]

Power isn't on the board...

[STFC Bart]

Think that is immaterial tbh

Agree if it goes back to Willie Carson and Sandy Gray will be TOTAL disaster for this club. No money again, drifting along and going nowhere.

It will never progress until we get he Wills family to sell up i am afraid. They are happy with Carson/Gray/a crap manager but we aint

[Simon Pieman]

Well put it this way. Power isn't on the board. You said he was. He has already put money into the club. He hasn't and isn't putting more in at the present moment.

But other than that you're right. Let's get Parkin back too,

[rockincockinrobin]

The wills family should sell up or come to some agreement otherwise Bill power will do what Terry Brady did when he couldn't get the new stadium approved (walkaway).
The Ince thing really concerns me as well, it is crystal clear that he is very unfit and i'm not sure whether he will ever get fit this season, he should not have been brought in, because he is wise's best pal he more or less walks straight into the team and now apparently there is alot of discontent within the squad because of Ince, should have left it alone, too old, past his best and a total waste of money, should have let someone else have him, we would do better without him, i'm sure alot of people will agree, since he has come in we have not been as good, maybe something to do with the discontent within the camp right now.

[STFC Bart]

Yes agree we have lost 2 out of 3 games since Ince came here, we dont appear to have  the same team spirit either

[Simon Pieman]

Yes he's played for ages this season.

ffs Wise wasn't afraid to take him off today  

[rockincockinrobin]

I have heard all of this from several people today and i can believe that the players are annoyed with Ince, wouldn't you be?

I just really hope that things get sorted with the board members and hope that they sort out their disagreements and start seeing eye to eye otherwise this football club will cease to exsist or we will drop into the conference within 2-3 seasons.

[STFC Bart]

We will def drop into the conference with the Wills family in control...

No money- want o have it all their own way..... and when they do get investors piss them off!!!!
