What's the point of signing an NDA regarding the Fruit Market, Sam Frost in the Post updates everyone what's happening in his Q and A every week and seems to be on the button with what he writes.

MK Dons went for the new approach when they appointed Dan Micciche as manager,a former England Under 16 manager and highly thought of as a coach. He won 3 games out of 16 in charge as manager, better record than Garner. It didn't work out, M K Dons got relegated with Ed Upson in the team, where is Micciche now, manager of Arsenal Under 15 side. Crawley went for the same kind of option, that didn't work either, it's horses for courses, a seller at Wincanton isn't going to win the Derby.

Can't help but feel on what I have just seen on the BRFC twitter account this evening that this rushed virtual forum had bigger and more sensational news to reveal but for whatever reason it wasn't allowed to break today, the whole thing became a damp squib. Everyone one of the board members looked on edge and at school maths wasn't obviously the Presidents strongest subject, he claims he now has 92% of the club, his brother 10%, add the Supporters Club 3.3% recently diluted share scheme shareholding you find the shareholding is over stated. Not very convincing is it from a man who has now been put on the spot by his CEO who has categorically announced today that he will underwrite the club until 2022, now that's pressure.

ITB interest in the SC position has all the hallmarks of doing what he's told to do from someone higher up the food chain, not healthy. He says it's run by grey haired old men, 5 of the SC committee are ladies, bet they are pleased. Wrong thing to say in this sensitive time also, ageist remark.

Ok, I accept the word wiser was not correct, it should have been realistic. I think the supporter base is united, we all have grumbled in our time about certain players and their ability and commitment to the cause, managers who haven't embraced us, why can't we have a view on owners. My concern is simple, we are losing £10,000 a day, probably more now with the pandemic, how can the former General Manager IT of the AJIB Bank as an individual owner (his words) support this unbelievable financial drain and for how long. You can shut your curtains every night and hope the problem has gone away in the morning but it won't unless a tooth fairy weighed down with gold appears at the owners bedside.

It's been interesting to follow different views on this thread, the apologists mostly on the other forum belive a holy prophet has arrived at the club, the wiser are concerned about the club and its long term future. It does look as if the club was going to be sold without any of the Al Qadi's remaining, three directors left within the space of three months of each other, one being the lawyer who's departure wasn't even mentioned by the club. Were they all Hani's men and believed that a new stadium without the Al Qadi's was a better future for the club.When this became a more likely outcome overdrive must have kicked in at the family ranch, in whom we trust cashed out his family inheritance and has gone for it, bloody great for us fans but probably not so good for his wife and kids. The Bristol Post ran a story yesterday that we are losing £10,000 a day,previous loss making year accounts were always supported by the elder brother as a going concern, who's going to do that this year. Nearly every business in the country is cutting costs and laying people off, the club are full on developing the training ground (long overdue) opening an academy in Uxbridge, hiring the managers own recruitment company and going for it signing new players, bloody brilliant, but when does next season start, what if football in front of crowds doesn't start until 2021, nobody knows, lots of speculation about September but not confirmed. The money tree has to run dry one day with a stagnant income stream, the wiser understand this and that is their concern, can the club survive being left in the lurch, the capitalisation on paper looks good but it gives a hopelessly over inflated value of the club, in this world crisis there aren't to many investors out there looking to blow their brains out. It's no wonder the prudent elder brother wanted out, I don't think he will come riding over the hill if his kid brother comes knocking on his door, three months down the road things could look very different.

I don't think it was any secret at the club he paid the transfer money for Joe Partington at the time

That Karim fella is Wael's driver, he's been on the payroll since day one. Always outside the mobile toilets before a game and at half time having a fag.He's on facebook, quite political.

Far better than Macron or Gorringe could come up with, I wonder what's in store for us next season when it starts, probably haven't designed one yet and we will be playing in a makeshift all blue shirt like the sixties and blame it all on covid 19.

Couldn't agree more, to many false dawns deliberately planted, look at Blackpool last August. Lets just sit back and enjoy the inheritance money being spent on us and long may it continue.

I'm sure if your not a shareholder of any organisation you can not be invited to attend an AGM by the majority shareholders, let alone then as an observer address the room from the floor in the middle of the meeting without identifying yourself. So what have we now discovered today, the club majority shareholders conspiring against other shareholders and the supporters club a year ago pushing to replace them and their financial support assisting the club, they take the money though don't they, nice people we have at the top.

I just wished he would have blocked off those idiots on twitter who convinced him to give DC a 5 year contract in this day and age, that cost the club a shed full.

Whole episode all very sad today, listening to the interview with KM and reading other posts, you start to think what has happened to all those that have fallen by the wayside, no question the club is now been run under autocratic management. Nothing wrong with that but don't try and hide when difficult unpopular decisions have to be made and give that announcement task to the post office counter clerk. What is interesting is the massive immediate weight of support if close to the nerve comments are made about the playboy autocrat, it's as if he is orchestrating the response amongst his forum followers and also he has the Evil Post under his influence. Could you ever see Gerry Francis or Darrell Clarke allowing a Q&A from Sam Frost being allowed every week.You can't help but believe there is an enormous sense of insecurity at large in Jordan and whatever is going on behind the scenes the playboy is very nervous. Should we still be promoting next seasons season tickets also as vigorously as we are, it's immoral surely, we don't even know when next season kicks off yet and it could be greatly reduced, we don't even know when life gets back to normal yet. What about the 5 home games that won't have taken place this season ? Something not right here and we need to be very aware of that.

It looks as if we won't get back to anything like normal until at least September and then we might have to maintain social distancing for a while. Not sure season tickets for an unknown future season should be on offer right now. What about the 4 remaining home games this season that season ticket holders have paid for but probably won't be played, Bury home has been already written off. Shouldn't these lost home games be deducted from next seasons season tickets which should be correctly put on offer when we all know what we are buying into. Press the reset button on this statement would be more sensible.

At least Boris has the chancellor and treasury behind him along with the public, all Wael has is his mother's wallet, what happens when that purse runs dry.

I think in the trade this is known as a soft audit, accountants that will do what you say. What is a worry is on page 11 of the accounts, "Hani Al Qadi confirmed his intention to maintain support for a 12 month period from the signing of these accounts" Yeah, it's my intention to enter the lottery tomorrow, doesn't mean I will though does it. In previous accounts it has always been stated that Hani Al Qadi will support the club as a going concern for a further year. The football finance guy from Liverpool University is right, when you switch accountants there is a reason, you can play them.

Couldn't agree more what if the club goes into administration or even worse Hani liquidates it to recover the charge he has on the Mem, you become a creditor. Looks as if the kids won't be back in school until September, the more you look at it, the EFL could well draw a line under this season and start the next one in September as well.

What is unbelievable is the cocky arrogance of Garners post match interview, we have now had the full monty from him, every reason under the sun for not putting together a winning team or come to that one that is even organised in 17 games of him been in charge. What is more of a concern is here we are with a rookie manager putting out a side against a youth team who by all accounts have not been paid for weeks thrashing us 3-1 and the CEO can't be bothered to turn up to watch the game or support the manager. How do you expect the team to give a toss if those at the top don't give a toss.

Gorringe at the forum did admit he shouldn't have mentioned the accounts. He could be stacking deck chairs back at Brighton next for dropping them in it, especially with early bird season tickets going on sale soon and cash needed by the club.

Don't know why Wael forces him to go public, he never looks comfortable doing this kind of thing, comes across looking like one of those old Blue Peter presenters and leaves you with the strong belief he won't be anywhere near the club when all of his answers given today in the Q & A turn out to be make believe.
