Gaspode Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 6 minutes ago, SamUltraRam said: Yes I do remember when Mel actually used to give interviews, he definitely stated that we were to be sold only if it's to someone who was 'safe hands' and could take the club forwards. He also mocked some of the many chancers that had shown interest - how ironic !! To be fair, it's well known that we're in a financial hole and also that Mel has had health issues and wants to get out asap. That will attract every chancer going - some more believable than others. Perhaps sitting back and waiting for concrete news that the takeover has been concluded might make more sense than taking part in the stream of hand-wringing, bed wetting and general attacks on Mel and each other that this board has been flooded by lately.....

Some of the criticism of Mel has gone a bit too far, however I don't think it is fair to expect us to sit in silence whilst we see mistake after mistake being made. Mel owns and runs this club and the buck stops with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For fans to express their views and have a debate with other members.....I never thought the idea was to influence the club and their decision-making. I think that would be more the case when fans attend the ground on match days, can influence things then. In some ways I would think Mel and Wazza are thankful grounds have been shut over the last few months....

But I think the vast majority of comments on Mel's tenure have been with the view to expressing an honest opinion, as opposed to trying to influence the club in some way.

Of course I don't think the club makes decisions based off this forum but I absolutely believe that people from the club will read bits and pieces of it.

I'm not suggesting that you sit in silence - just that people may find their mental health benefits from waiting for the outcome of the takeover before attacking/ranting/blaming.....
