So despite the talk of leaving such things aside we've gone from "why don't you go and support Manchester City" to "why don't you go and support Burton".  |

Obviously they tried for Messi and Ronaldo but they wouldn't come despite the consortium head being more than financially capable of paying them....hey ho life's a bummer |

We will be beating the likes of Burton. We've never bowed down to money bags teams.

The narrative being spun by the club and Jayne is so off the mark.
Don't believe what you read on here.

Still if the Chairman believes that's the best way to tell us his side of the story then that's fine. Obviously in the Chairman's mind he believes he now doesn't need to communicate with "the rabble"🙄 |

Can’t be bothered to read the thread, as I have said many times Roland is going through the motions, has no real desire to sell the club because it’s all he has. He should communicate truthfully to the fanbase but that won’t happen as privately he thinks of us supporters as an inconvenient annoyance. Roland will be running the club until his time on this mortal coil is up……Let’s just hope we don’t slip too far down the pyramid.

If you want to enlighten me then DM me,if not then I'm quite happy to stay blissfully unaware as to what you and Ollie are talking about. |

When I asked a Burton high-up old family friend earlier in the year if there was anything in it - after reading on Facebook about it (we no longer have a local paper online, it went kaput) - I was told nothing serious. Then within a few months it was announced. Considering due diligence I would assume I was misinformed and it wouldn't have been done quickly. I knew Fleur was leaving Wrexham, that was on the cards for some time with notice etc. - so I'd suspect they were talking to both us and Burton at the same time, doing checks etc. before seriously progressing and the Robinsons must have been confident. Maybe there were talks with others, too. It doesn't happen quickly but was certainly kept as quiet as they could until nearer the announcement. I just see it as a missed opportunity for Roland, and pretty unforgivable - even if it did go tits up. We should have the ambition.

My only comment would be; Is this not the same people who demanded exclusive talks with RW. That arrangement should apply.to both parties. |

If you want to enlighten me then DM me,if not then I'm quite happy to stay blissfully unaware as to what you and Ollie are talking about. it was something someone else said , I did message them at the time to explain( it wasn't about me or football ) The thread has been anchored so that those who want to continue the petty debate and post snipes can continue to do so with out it being in the faces of those who clearly don't |

They apparently had spent 4 years looking across Italy, France, Spain and England for a club, would be interesting to know why Burton (and the same could be asked, why Shrewsbury)?

We should have the ambition Steady up Dan, we don't want that sort of talk on here.  The fact is, frustration is setting in amongst the majority of the fanbase. We are clearly being left behind. What happened to the "money being raised 365 days a year off the field to finance the playing side". No one wants to invest in STFC and I don't blame them one little bit. I can understand the chairman not talking to us, because he never has. But for someone who doesn't talk to us, he manages to get some tit bits our way. |

Don't worry, another thread will be hijacked to cover the same old ground very soon Tactic 1 - deflection (did you know Cotterill used to manage us?) Tactic 2 - promote opinions as fact Tactic 3 - hijack We should be allowed to discuss concern at the ownership and a this far very unproductive summer, and be allowed to compare to other clubs that have had the investment we’ve missed out on. And people are of course entitled to disagree, but when the only argument is ‘I know things that you don’t’ it’s not the most persuasive counter view. |

If the club want fans to believe things that come from them then perhaps they should tell us themselves, rather than feeding bits to the odd fan |

Tactic 4 Just takeover another thread as this one originally did.
The ECHR Article 10 protects your right to hold your own opinions and to express them freely without (government) interference. This includes the right to express your views aloud (for example through public protest and demonstrations) or through: published articles, books or leaflets. television or radio broadcasting.
It's good to have the protection of the ECHR, some wanted out of it you know.
