" Delves leaves because the chairman has spurned the opportunity of investment, AGAIN"

Sad loss to the Board in my view

Didn’t we all know he was leaving 3 months ago or am I missing something?
Do actually think this is just as the article says that it’s genuinely to concentrate on his other business interests, but shame to lose him from the board none the less

Am I right that our board of directors now consists of Roland & Duncan Montgomery who I believe was Roland's accountant? If so, all completely normal and nothing to worry about here

Disappointing news and a backward step in my opinion.
So we are back to a a board of two.

The only official thing (as far as I'm aware) was him reducing his sponsorship at the club - blueandamber.proboards.com/thread/105707/message-paul-delves-tuffinsAs for whether its simply down to finances/focusing on other things, I've heard rumours that this stems from a fall out with Roland over the alleged takeover. But no idea if there is any substance to that

If so, all completely normal and nothing to worry about here Duncan is obviously well in favour with Roland at the moment due to putting some money into the club which ever since that was announced has confused me and made me wonder what’s in it for him… But he’ll likely be out of favour in a few months so if I was him I wouldn’t get too comfortable.

This thread should read opportunity for Martin to talk bulls**t about the chairman again Change the record , they guy couldn't afford to buy 🥱 In future , would it be too much to ask for a potential buyer to make a statement of intent to the fans before they start negotiations ? saying nothing just means exactly the same few people start exactly the same rumours If I thought I could afford to buy and tick all the boxes I'd be up front about it , the fans would decide if they want you or not quite quickly If it turns out I couldn't I'd probably sneak off like a mouse and keep quiet , maybe tell my close friends I could afford it really

But no idea if there is any substance to that Yes I've probably mixed up rumour with official, although we often get breaking news from the club a good couple of months before the official news breaks through the club website I know the Montgomery Waters site in Churchstoke has been subject to a lot of planning applications recently and looks like a big expansion is due there, which would presumably take up a lot of Delves time and resources, so guess thats their focus at the moment.

Maybe you don't have an "in" at the club? Some people do. Some people GET information, some people are FED information, there's a KEY difference. I told everyone about Nurses ACL first time round 72 hours before it was announced. I knew about Pyke demanding £2k at Carlisle as I know the person who was at the table. I DM'd people before Wrexham and alluded that the chairman had Hurst lined up ready in the event of Taylor losing against Wrexham, Stevenage & P'Boro. I even alluded to it on a poll thread but couldn't specifically say it at the time. It's not idle gossip, some people do get genuine info from their sources.

Sad to see this I am not sure of all the ins and outs but I think the only downside to the great appointment of the new manager (if I may use that word)is that it has distracted a bit from the urgent need for new investment and new leadership at the club.

My point was floreats was two rumours rolled into one and if I did/do I wouldn’t blurt it on here. It’s a bit worrying that there’s a spy in the camp mind. You mentioned before it was someone present at Pyke’s negotiation to go to ? Carlisle when he refused to take a drop in pay so shouldn't take the club too long to work out who’s got a big mouth.

But hey yours theory fits some peoples agenda 👍 Paul Delves made it clear from the start and at the end he couldn't do it financially on his own. So he went to wealthy partners who for whatever reasons didn't tick the boxes for Roland..must have been they weren't local !! No agenda just the truth that hurts our club and reflects badly on our owner

No agenda just the truth that hurts our club and reflects badly on our owner Except if true you don’t know the reasons and are just adding your take ‘didn’t tick the boxes for Roland and bringing in local. Maybe they weren't serious / trustworthy and kept messing the club around, walked away twice then came back and wanted an exclusivity agreement. Or maybe that was another ‘syndicate’ ?
