Which bit is rubbish? Regarding Roland, it's one or the other, it can't be both, he's either: - A safe pair of hands who has looked after the club. Or he's: - Not a safe pair of hands and is bankrolling the club. I'll repeat again, IT CANNOT BE BOTH! The fact your putting yourself on a pedestal as some sort of Hero whilst inferring everyone else who still attends is letting the club down by supporting the club while Roland’s in charge. “I'm so glad I'll be able to stand tall with a very small handful of others in time and say I was on the right side of STFC history.”Youve done it dozens of times, we know your opinion, you’re just using the current crisis to have a go at Roland. I’m no fan but if he walked away tomorrow we’d be stuffed!

Thanks again in case you missed it. you are being singled out because you asked the question It was presented for you It was answered and posted on here I presumed you'd missed it so thought I'd bring it to you're attention I won't bother next time 👍 Go ask yourself

However the accusation I felt was important to highlight either way. Did you manage to see it before it was deleted, as the account appeared to have been created just to make the comment under the name James Hughes. And then it was deleted 2 hours later.

And I mean more than the few Ks the CEO is aiming for, as brilliant and positive as that is. Why do supporters need to carry the club when Roland can't get proper investment, we're a league club, not a lower non league side!

I believe it would be his first ever investment without return. Other chairmen and women routinely invest in their football clubs, some aren't even fans of the clubs they own. He's meant to be Mr Shrewsbury and a massive town fan, it would barely be 5% of his wealth and would massively help the club he owns and claims to love? I appreciate his old work in the 90s and early 00s but we've wasted a decade and a half since moving to the new ground. We had peanuts then, it seems we have peanuts now.

Something along the lines that RW rejected £11m for himself along with £30m guaranteed investment for the club. I don't believe that for a second, absolutely no chance, he'd have ripped their hands off.

The post was in response to someone asking if Paul delves was resigning due to rumoured PH return: Response was: ‘No, because RW turned down £11.5m for himself and £30m invested into the club’ If you go on @ruytonshrew on twitter/ X recent tweets you can see it.

Have you pair thought about having you're own board so you can continue wittering on at each other? Either that, meet up and have a beer and get it ironed out. There's opinions on here and some from you pair that are very valid and make a good read, but the continued boring Nic picks isn't half tiring
Love you both btw

I don't believe that for a second, absolutely no chance, he'd have ripped their hands off. The only way he would have rejected that is if it was patently obvious they hadn't got £41M and intended to put the club into serious hock to try to finance it.

Has Roland ever taken a wage out of the club for his business expertise, dedication and time over the years? Have we had that for free?

Of course if Roland is bankrolling the club then we all have to be grateful for that - but I have to say I don't see how the numbers add up at all.
This is a club who two years ago was sustainable and had a healthy bank balance, sure covid made a dent but if we're on our knee's how are any other clubs surviving?
If we're only paying 25% of O'Brien's wage, that would just leave presumably Marosi, Dunkley, Flanagan who are on "high wages" how on earth has that put us in financial ruin??
Also a quick note to appreciate anyone who attended and a thank you to MM for attending and being open and honest - exactly what the supporters needed. Although I think the season ticket hike would be a gaff of epic proportions - people are already on the fence about renewing they don't need another reason to give it a miss.

Has Roland ever taken a wage out of the club for his business expertise, dedication and time over the years? Have we had that for free? He hasn't yet, but there will be a simple equation for when he does: Sale price / years served = yearly wage. You mention his business expertise, is it all it's cracked up to be if he's now bankrolling us?

Answers or guesses please ! I will go for Roland's ego and covering his own incompetence over the last few years which would become apparent in a takeover

This is the 4th time I've thanked you, I'm not sure what else to do? I was replying to the question you asked 🫤 Anyway , what do you make of the fact MM has no input during a game ? formation , team selection , subs entirely down to the head coach I wasn't bothered either way as such, but wanted the clarity. I'm happy that Taylor makes the subs, although I'd be worried if Moore wasn't implementing the formation as that's sort of his job? I'd hope we're playing the same formation and tactics from the first team down to the under 9s. Thanks again for putting it forward 👍

Answers or guesses please ! Whatever we think of RW, he’s a successful businessman, so he wouldn’t reject that bid if the rumour is true. Hypothetically if it’s true he probably doesn’t believe the funds offered were actually viable for the bidder. Or if he does want what’s best for the club, the bidder wasn’t trusted to have our clubs best interest at heart.

But if Taylor wants to play diamond , Xmas tree , 2 at the back You name it's up to him

A big red flag is this account being set up, one tweet, and then closed. Scammers succeed because people want to believe what they say.

I overheard someone peddling this rumour when crossing the car park to leave the ground on Saturday. No idea who the bloke was or where he got it from, but what he was saying was exactly the same as per the tweet.
