Title: bemused, confused but not overly suprised
Post by: justboiledover on Thursday, December 21, 2006, 22:42:46
sorry to start a new thread on this.

I've just been away for 4 days with no internet access and I have no clue what the fuck has been going on.

I'm seeing references to new board members/advisors, moving the club out of town (not sure if I believe this one as if my geography serves me correctly Chippenham is moving away from Newbury!), a previousely faceless advisor now general manager - isn't this another name for a CE, whats happened to smarmes,anymore news on Devlin (love to Stan if you're reading this)

seems like I've been away for 4 years not 4 days.

What the bloody hell is happening?

Just the usual mate. You're right. On the face of it it does seem that a certain Greek chap has in effect been making executive decisions.

And the move that has been mooted is stated as a last resort, although if it did happen most people on here wouldn't go to watch the franchise.

I wasn't being sarcastic?

That's probably the best summary you'll get on here. It took Youth ages to write that as well.

To be fair reg there does seem to be about 150 different conversations going on about this and that, the fella only wants a summary.

Was out delivering pressies

(I do have a family and a life you know !!  :wink: )

Contradiction after contradiction after contradiction.

Great PR for the consortium

Although, as a Trust board member (and proud to say so aswell Mr Diamandis !!!!), I would urge the fans to think before taking more dramatic protests into their own hands at this moment in time.

I think it is easy to have a knee jerk reaction to today's interview because it is still raw and people are angry.

I think it is a time for calm heads, I really do.

Let's see how the next step of the Orange Revoloution takes shape on Tuesday and take stock from there.

Personally I do not that feel any of Mr Diamandis' mud slinging warrants an official response from us IMHO

Yeah I know mate, but spent all afternoon in the pub reading the Adver and listning to the game then come home all stroppy to find a house full of guests, so had to smile and kiss kids etc.

Mind you drank 3/4 bottle of port and ate half the cheese board that was meant for boxing day so its best that I stay down here for a while !

(Spacey would be proud of me ! )

I just dont think its wise for me to answer consortium stuff in the mood I am in
