There are very few facts in the article in the OP, the majority of it is just conjecture. There are more facts in my post than in the OP.
No, there is not a hope in hell that the board members would get their money back if they were to sell the club right now.
But surely that’s the role of leadership and strategic positions? And do the board, AND the fans believe that we have had good ROI on the £80m have taken asset positions on?
And please remember they have taken asset positions on the cash. They have/will have opportunities in the future to make that back or potentially turn profit.
Using a typical accountability pattern. The questions would follow as
1) What was your goal?
2) Did you achieve it?
3) How do you feel about that?
Is 1 cup, 1 league win and a EL final run everything could have been achieved in the time frame being considered?
Could a different board have achieved better success?
Strategic roles dictate that you have to keep moving forward, it’s very hard to make a sensible case that we are moving forwards.
The roi is key part I think
Yes this board put money up but the majority of it was for assets ie shares of they arrange it for a 25 p per share sale to fans in general they will make roi of 25%
The issue is communications the king/1872 thing with club is not helping 1872 is right idea not set up correctly or with correct people.
The board only communicate when they are under attack make promises then don't deliver. Engagement was at its highest when they needed us but now it like we are like that bird that won't go away so only talk when needed.
After what we have been through every board we have needs to expect to be challenged. And to mitigate the issues they need regular communications and updates. Not always about finances as that's restricted to an extent but disabled facilities, ticketing allocations, ticketing prices, safe standing, food in stadium ie they changed provider but its more expensive.
I would buy in stadium if food was in general decent quality and reasonable price its not the burger van across the road is better and cheaper. And service is better
It's these choices that and issues that piss fans of as much as anything.
Mygers is turning into a joke we did need a ticketing scheme but it should have been designed that way but they have over moneytized it short term it makes more longer term it causes issues and fighting among fans and anger at club ie linked to match attendance only, mygers£40, mygers away£60, mygers Europe £80 ........ they could have added some other monetization but its went to far.
Ticketing timings for money coming off we should be looking to have 2/3 bandings for season tickets home league only, home all games cccs (existing way) and with option to pay at start for all games ..... easy enough to put an average of what extra games cost to fan and club income over 2/3 year period and add it to tickets most I know would do that and that's even if club wins by having less games at home.
Defense of the fans yes we sometimes don't help ourselves but club only seems interested in defending the board not the fans it has to be both
