Q&A answers on the 'Official site

[Guppys left peg]

I have to say I cannot believe some people were contacting Robbie Williams solicitors about this. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. If it weren't for the supporters club having that proxy Bratt, Oliver and co would still be living it up with no way of removing them and where would we be then?

[Tosh]

I have to agree that going to RW's team before the full picture is seen and heard is well out of order. Let's hope everyone digests the forthcoming answers properly and don't give any ill thought out knee jerk reactions to them!

Regarding the Mark Sims statement and the meeting has Mark Sims finally been allowed to see the books and complete due dilligence or are Lloyd and Deakin still preventing an elected Director from taking a seat on the Board.

You might as well take an educated guess on that.

Nobody outside of the board knows anything.

So much for the promised transparency.

[Birdy]

Whilst I appreciate your hard efforts Dave of which many have helped before you I think constructive criticism about your actions were justified. That criticism came en mass from all quarters and you chose to ignore it, therefore you can't expect people not to feel aggrieved. Any person holding a position such as the chair of the SC should not ignore opinions of its members.

 

I look forward to seeing the answers to the 141 questions.

[Howjy04]

On Vale site now.

[Tone]

Hopefully at least a few more people will now start to believe.

 

But words are cheap. I believe that Blue Sky wish to be judged on their actions, rather than words.

 

I think they realise why people are still very cynical. As I have said before, we have all become conditioned to expect to be let down.

[PVTony]

Just read the 141 answers by the acting chairman.

When will we actually here somebody from Blue Sky talk on the matter,any idea Tone?

[Sting]

Red font, silly Mike. Sting will read this now.

[saintvaliant]

The words seem to be reassuring, albeit the way in which some of the response is written is a little 'PR' unfriendly.

 

As Tone has stated, it is actions that will really show what this deal is about, and I dare say it is actions that folk need to see.

Hi all,

 

We have just received the Q&A answers and Gary B is currently formatting them for issuing.

 

I have been extremely busy signing off my company's 2012 Holiday brochure this week so have had practically no spare time other than meeting Lloyd and Deakin yesterday with Mark Sims. Time that in all honesty I could ill afford away from my business.

 

I understand from others that there has been severe criticism of me on here and I just wish to point out that if I had not attended the meeting last Saturday then these answers would have been delayed even longer and I thought it worth risking some wrath on the majority of fan's behalf in order that they get replies to their questions ASAP but I never anticipated the character assassination that some have inflicted upon me apparently.

 

For those who believe that in the absence of the SC Secretary I should have taken anyone else who was available well that was not acceptable to me as it wasn't an environment for someone who was not briefed. I believe in representing the Supporters Club to the best of my ability but if that is not considered enough then I look forward to those who can do better applying for the role of SC Chairman.

 

You may like to know that before accepting the role of SC Chairman myself I made a personal approach to two well respected Vale fans to ask if they would consider applying for the post, unfortunately they both declined.

 

However, at the time of the election I made it clear that if someone who was acceptable to the SC membership came along and offered their services I would willingly stand down.

 

I have an extremely busy professional life and have been taken aback at what I am told has been put on this site this week, in some cases by people who I previously thought of as friends, I find it somewhat galling that a number of these critics are not even SC members!

 

For those who have contacted Robbie Williams's representatives questioning my use of the proxy for my own ends may I point out that Saturday's meeting was on purely SC business and had no relevance whatsoever to the use of the proxy.

 

Regards,

 

Dave F

 

Part Post Removed By Admin. Its a shame that people are doing this, however proves the point that some people will just do anything now to cause trouble.

 

Proves to me all along that some people were not pro investment, more pro Mo.

[Sting]

6 pages in and Sting has got more questions than when he started reading. Nuts this is.

[Aussie Rules]

I'M going to print it off and sometime tomorrow sit out back with a glass of Chianti to read and inwardly digest the responses.

 

Only then will I comment, if comment needed.

 

Until then folks I bid you all a good night because I'm going to my campfire to watch the rugby league

[BACK OF THE NET]

You have to question the reasoning behind some people who have so little patience that they let their minds wander,to the extent they contacted RW`s people over this.

 

I have also found myself wondering, how so many people can read the same thing, and draw such different conclusions from the text.

 

I think the majority appreciate what you are doing dave.
