I was surprised that in announcing that the stadium manager left that we were told that Chris van Roon had resigned from the Trust. Not sure that was the CEO of STFC's news to share

We went from having Angus as CEO, Hall as General Manager, and Dover as his junior. To Angus going and the other 2 getting bumped up, to now just having Hall.
Cut backs are extreme, they are doing everything they can to make the books look as good as possible in an attempt to sell the club.
I'm close to having had enough with it all.

You are not the only one. Close to attending away games only and seriously thinking about it. Put it this way if it was season ticket renewal today 3 would not renew here. Just wish they would all fuck off - had enough of the lies and incompetence.

I feel the same and very much doubt that we're in the minority

Agree Mate and word spreading fast. Let’s hope a sale is not that far away.

Is there any actual proof of anything bar the club is being run shambolicly, over the last 6 months the amount of stuff that has gained legs as 'truth' with very little behind it bar someone saying it on SM and then it getting repeated has rivalled things like vaccine storys.

I have heard from a few people close to the club on more than one occasion that something is likely in the near future. No proof, but it seems like some former employees have been consulted on certain things by others. Which I can only assume is part of the due diligence.

I would say i'm not sure there is anything likely. However there are plenty of people who know that multiple parties have had conversations with the club. The price Clem wants for him and whoever still has their sticky fingers in the club, would seem to make a sale very difficult in my mind.

Anthony Hall's vote of confidence worked fast then.
Shame it's come to this, Steve's always seemed a really good guy, but tough to argue that it wasn't time for the Trust to have new leadership.

Under Clem, the club has just becoming a milking machine, trying to suck as much value out of every fan, from the waiving of ST refunds to the man city ticket prices, from the cutting of family options to the upping of ticket costs, if the club is offered the chance to take money out of fans pockets they'll certainly take it. And what are we seeing from this? A competitive budget that can't even fund a full squad, 1 million in losses per season and the club requiring volunteers to function. Without even taking into account all the red flags that have been mentioned on this thread countless times, it's absolutely no fucking wonder that people are becoming more and more disenfranchised with it all.
This. And if we somehow turned a big loss into a small loss then yeah, I could see its a bit delicate but at least I see the reason. We haven't. At 1.2M we are losing more than Power did. The other thing that got me, they’re mentioning Clem coming over just before Christmas to then sit down and talk with Flynn and Russell about what they need and how we do it. Are we really leaving those conversations until days before the window opens? Should we not have been having January window recruitment conversations and had a plan in place for a decent amount of time now like well structured clubs?
Instead it sounds like we’re going to sleep walk our way through that window.
Don’t get me started on the season ticket comments.
I’d be amazed (well I actually I wouldn’t) if the January window discussions only started in December. I assume that some thought has been put into it but the finer details still need to be ironed out because we don’t know exactly who will and won’t be there come January.
I do need to watch back, but I got the impression the CEO isn't that on the ball with the footballing side. I agree with DV that someone must have a plan. But who...

That's because power signed us up to all these terrible deals that still haunt the club's finances

I’m sure the club will be campaigning for James Spencer to become chair….
