"Should I stay or Should I go now?"

[NLVMalc]

I am sorry but there has been no change at the club in the attitude of the board.

 

There is still no openness or transparency.

 

We still have a culture of delay and frustration.

 

I should have received shareholder information from the club by 0932 this morning. Yet there is total silence even though they are legally obliged to give this information. It appears not only is there a total disregard of the fans and shareholders, there is a disregard for the law of the land and specifically the 2006 Comapnies Act in relation to Section 116 requests.

 

Well I guess we are where we are!

[Sonny]

There will be no change.

 

Bratt does not adhere to deadlines designed to take the club forward,he will stay out of the firing line whilst still making decisions in the background.

 

Oliver will do as he's told by Jackson and Meigh they are still the puppet masters.

 

Lloyd will bide his time as he has continued to do all along.

 

Deakin will be the mouth piece taking the pressure off the board.

 

And regrettably Mark Sims will be forced to walk away leaving Port Vale Football Club to stagger along from day to day much to the delight of the happy clappers who just refuse to see whats going on

[Birdy]

If I was allowed only one joker to play, it would be for GO to go.

 

We will of course hear nothing as nothing has changed with the professionalism, transparency or communication from within the club. The contempt for the majority carries on.

 

I am still waiting for my (NLV) shirts as we sponsored MA/JG/MG last season. I have had to ask for them every year we have sponsored a player, why?

[doggone]

A magnanmous and indeed surprising gesture from Bratt would be to step down and sponsor the NLV board candidate.

 

I know there is more likely to be ice cream van in the middle of the sun but I think that would be very acceptable and would isolate GO completely.

 

He doesn't have enough shares, unless he did buy Broxap's

[Grumpy Old Man]

Agreed. There will be no response. Usual tactic employed by the board so why change now?The excuse will be that there has been no time for a board meeting with Adams working so hard to ensure that we get off to a good start to the season!!!!

[Birches Head Fred]

Absolutely no chance of eiher of them either resigning or indeed replying to this 'deadline'. Remember, 'they' set deadlines, 'they' do not respond to them.

 

I really don't know what else anyone seriously expects.

[Nottingham Valiant]

I agree with Grebovale. If Sims doesn't join the board then he lets the fans and Robbie down. Lots has changed already, with Sims on board plus a fans representative, then whether the majority of this board agree or not, that would seem to be a roughly fair representation of the fan base currently.

 

Sims must put up or shut up quite simply, if he walks away then nothing much will have changed. If he joins the board then I think at that point everyone else - SEO etc, must then start to back the team and the club again.

 

There is no magic wand, don't count on Mo coming back in shining armour. However, if Sims joins then we will have a 4 man board, none of whom have a lot of money to invest but hopefully we could go forward in a more transparent manner with a better business plan for the future.

Totally agree with that Fred.

I expect them to respond in the usual manner.

Id say if GO or BB went, and we had Lloyd + Simms + NLV + BB or GO then it may be more representative

[TheSage]

Let's hope there is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel.

As the weeks have progressed attitudes have hardened, sadly, and everyone needs to think about a compromise and what is best for the long term future of the Club. Let's pray fervently that it can be done because we can't carry on like this.

[Heron X Valiant]

The only investment ML will vote for is the AGS deal as it will keep him as chairman. He needs to keep GO and BB on Board for the time being (whilst the deal is finalised) to ensure it gets a yes. And I'm sure they will find some way to avoid putting the deal to a shareholder vote, we know how good the Board are at changing the rules.

 

Well if that happens then we have a decison to make as nothing will change, we either walk away completely or accept the status quo and go back. Neither of those things is palatable to me so I have to hope that ML will realise that backing Sims is the way forward for the club and him personally. Neither GO or BB have done him any favours in the past and I think he would relish the opportunity to screw them over.

Enjoy your fantasy but it wont happen. This club has no chance until the fans are united, and there is no chance of that until Bratt AND Oliver go.

Not after last nights crowd

[werstayinup]

I really dont think we will hear anything at all until at least tomorrow because aren't the board due to meet supporters groups tomorrow???

[NLVMalc]

Meeting the supporters group has nothing to do with their decision on Mark Sims proposal for unity to be restored.
