I never called ewe a sheep si pi.

I merely intimated that some people may be just following the herd...

Or maybe they have weighed up all the facts and made a balanced decision based on these and back the consortium.  

Personally I find it hard to see the other side of the argument at all as after years of being let down and lied too time and time again by the current clowns surely the possibility of having fans input on the board, the excellent investment potential of Bill Power and Phill Emmel's backing and a realistic chance of getting a new ground are way too good to ignore.

The point is that most of us don't know the facts.

I support the consortium, as they appear to be the only alternative to the current regime. But I don't dismiss everything the board say, nor do I believe without reservation everything that the consortium says.

[stfctownenda]

I agree we don't know all the facts and hopefully they will come out in time.  But on what we do know the current board have lied to us, they have attacked us and we continue to lose money where as the consortium Bill Power, Phil Emmel and Mike Wilks have been open, honest and transparent so for me there is only one choice but it is just my opinion  

[Spencer_White]

Mike Diamandis.


End of argument. Good night.

[ronnie21]

Phew, saw the heading "Sheep" and just had to read through it.  Pleased to see that my initial fears were wrong, Mike Diamandis has not let out the grazing rights of the pitch to a local sheep farmer.  Wonder how that would have been entered in the accounts?  

[Simon Pieman]

What accounts?

[horlock07]

Eh don't take the piss!

I would suggest that any grazing rights that he sold for the pitch would probably be the best grazing rights in the division!

I can hear the interview now...'Yeah the grazing rights for those sheep, aye that was all my own work best deal in the division'

Is he Scottish then ??

[horlock07]

Do we know that he isn't he may have claimed as much but.....

I am not a conspiracy theorist but, dark hair slightly pale... say no more

[Fred Elliot]

Slightly Pale ?

   

You'll be telling me hes got ginger hair and freckles next !!!!

[horlock07]

That's why you can never google the guy.. its McDia****is we never though that did we.

OI though pale sounded better, the pictures I have seen just looks pale and unwell!

Be careful what you say, is that another Trust untruth, I am gonna go on thisisstfc

Trust say he is ginger and has freckles... the lying unprofessional bastards

Talk of grazing rights reminds me of the halcyon days of the early Macari era Board...when one of the directors .....I know his name, but in the current febrile litigious TEF environment I'll refrain from using it.....billed STFC for large quantities of straw to act as a frost protector.....thing was the bills were for 10's of thousands whereas straw even in fairly large quantities is relatively cheap....it was a way of salting cash away from HMCE.

  These events happened more or less straight away after the Articles of Association were changed about 84 or 85.....had this decision not been arrived at we wouldn't be in the shit we are today.

  Put simply up until then the clubs founding fathers had worked on the Rochdale Co-Op system of *OMOV.....in fact what the Trust seek to return to, namely greater democracy.....this meant my vote on matters as a shareholder was as good as SSW's.

  Often Directors could be voted out by ordinary shareholders, this discouraged some businessmen.   In the early days Sam Allen would go rouind the Works when the club was strapped and sell shares to railwaymen.  It meant the club was poor but honest.

 The change in articles it was felt would encourage businessmen to invest, unfortunately it has just led to a succession of chancers of which a recent board appointment would seem the latest in line.

  There must be an irony somewhere that losing the Rochdale system has led us to the Rochdale division.
