I've ranted elsewhere, so I'll just focus on 3 things:

1) £250k bonus payments if promoted, being used to show Devlin was out of control.  now for the maths

A squad of 25 players would equate to £10k each on average, for a whole season, in bonuses, if we get promoted.  Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.  Next allegation?

2) Are they really open to any offers? if so, why slate the people trying to raise sufficient funds to give them a return?  Does this not show the attitude to people.

3) Slamming the rumour mongers - yet this statement shows a very big falling out with Devlin at the very least.  Was Devlin not the clubs Chief Exec? is that not a senior level within a business?  How can that not be a rift then?  So we were all making it up, but you then go on to admit you have fallen out.

I've had my fill I'm afraid.  Every rumour seems to be publicly slated but then admitted to within a few days (even if they don't think they have).

Some people made a wild accusation about 2 weeks ago that POwer was off, also that Devlin was in trouble.  How wide of the mark were they then?

I just can't understand why the Wills family trust the people they do.

Thats the whole crux of the issue to me Rob.

At no point what so ever have we publically slammed the Wills family, in fact quite to the contrary.

Our beef lies with the so called "team" they surround themselves with.

Its bullshit posturing they can see a significant ground swell against them and they are trying to split the fans.Its funny that they worry how the club is being run since April but they never seemed to worry when when the club "forgot" to pay the bloody VAT and blundered from one crisis to another.Threaten to take your ball home Wills,fans wouldnt be looking at any of the actions being taken if your advisors could do there jobs properly.Im pretty sure P Davis and the others would much rather be spending time with their familys etc than fighting your bullshit.Grrrr!

The way in which the club are conducting this is thoroughly unprofessional and downright disgraceful, it's a fucking shambles.

This statement boils down to "shut up or else", as others have said. Rather than publicly slating Mike Wilks, Paul Davis and the Trust, why didn't they liaise with them in private first?

I believe the board did make an offer to Power for the club, but it was at a ridiculously overinflated price. It'd be like buying a Reliant Robin for the price of a Bugatti Veyron.

Furthermore, I've not seen anyone slating the Wills family - only Diamandis. In fact, the general consensus is that the fans are hugely thankful towards Sir Seton but think it's time for a sea change.

I'd agree with all of that.Of course we're grateful for all the Wills family have done BUT they have also let our club be run by a bunch of incompetents for far too long.It really beggers belief that they don't see that too!
