Well on the promotion point, that is absolutely pie in the sky stuff

Questions for Ken - the latest top manager on the payroll.

What’s your remuneration? Do you fly business class or economy ? How important is honesty and transparency in building trust?

 

[PSumbler]

A good dollop of corporate bullshit at first glance

The supporters club did their job well there

If only they were so good at managing the governance of the club

Lot's of words but nothing learned.

Looking at ways of improving revenue, putting a good product on the pitch, I doubt very much if any other stream could cover the salary and expenses.

We are looking at piggybacking on Wrexham's success.

Basically looking at lots of things but there is nothing concrete in there as you said

This was my favourite bit “I’m enjoying working with the Trust and grateful for the conversations that we are having. You should all
be clear that the Trust tells us what we need to know, not what we want to know”.

And we tell them what we want them to know so they can tell you what we want you to know.

This bit about relations on the ground being stronger now then they were when litigation was proceeding is frankly rubbish. I saw first hand that the relationships Stuart in particular built up at ground level during the litigation process and they were more meaningful then they are now.

"Gude for nothing"

 

[3swan]

trust (with a small t) has to be earned. Their ownership started off by excluding the Trust in conversation, even though they then had a 21% shareholding.

I'm sad to say I have seen or heard anything that has changed.

Edit

Predictive text.

 

[Nocountryforoldjack]

Same old bullshit

 

[Swanjaxs]

I'd like to know if he managed to keep a straight face saying this?

“I’m enjoying working with the Trust and grateful for the conversations that we are having. You should all
be clear that the Trust tells us what we need to know, not what we want to know"...

I literally write that kind of bollocks for a living. I could have spewed that lot out on 15 minutes and still had time for a cuppa and a smoke.
