To illustrate what was actually stated by me it was:

"........that a football infrastructure be re-instated within the club which is unique in the National League of not having one below first team level ~ the ONLY National League club; what sort of disgrace is that? A shocking indictment to the stupidity of Thea Bristow and her managing director of the time, Bill Phillips"
yes, its bloody obvious that having no academy is crazy, especially as ours was just about to produce a couple of players who have either been picked up by other clubs or are now out on a limb failing to show their potential.

Your point only shows the stupidity of Bill Phillips mainly, what to do you want for pointing the obvious out?

Perhaps people take it as read that closing the academy without coming up with an alternative was stupid but if anyone thinks Thea made that decision or even had a valid input they're sadly mistaken.

She was taken advantage of, it wasn't stupidity just plain naivety and I think that's why people take umbrage with your description of her. She didn't want to be the one running things, Baker and Phillips manipulated her into that position to take all the flak for the way Martin Ling was treated. Those two are pure scum in my book along with Dean Edwards.

People love to shoot messengers down there Lucy; get all personal with the messenger because they don't like the message and that causes them to take on blinkered attitudes and get conned into cheerleading the rubbish they have been putting up with for so long......you can read it on here on a regular basis when I post.


Any new ownership will want it's own management and if they can 'constructively dismiss' the incumbents they will because it is cheaper to move them on that way. Forget that it's #legend Nicholson; they would do that to anyone; so let's not profess shock/horror over that revelation.

'Trick the local council' ~ no need to do that with a Conservative controlled authority corruption and graft will be rife never you mind that. The Tories have been leeching the blood out of the place for generations.

So everything you say means that more than ever people need to be extra vigilant; stop shooting messengers and hearing what they say.

If people had listened that the club was being run in a stupid manner due to the naivety of the local beneficiary ~ apparently people on here don't like the term 'stupid' ~ when it was first being pointed out years ago that no proper revenue streams were being put in place, nowhere near high enough productivity standards were being demanded of the commercial staff employed and taking that blinkered 'end on view' of playing matters from behind the goal purely because it was nearest the bar instead of a serious scrutinising over view of the declining playing standards; the plight of the club in the hands of the current ownership would never have come about.

The supine, the gullible and the plain daft have only themselves to blame for all this and when the messengers conveyed the messages they were by and large shot down as being poisonous, unpleasant and unwelcome
you were rightly got shot down for calling Thea Bristow stupid. And to quote you to another forum member the other week, dont be a fanny!

I don't know either Clarke Osborne or Geoff Harrop enough other than talking with both fleetingly on a couple of occasions and if what you say is only half true then I really fear for the future of the club.
I was all for changing the manager but if he's working under these conditions then I feel for him.
Property developers are what they say on the tin.

Lucy, I said this on here God only knows how long ago. I think I might even have told you privately at the time.

A post tonight from the yellow army Facebook:

I remember someone on here posting a while back that the new owners would force kev out by making his life impossible. That they have zero interest in football, only interested in the land. And I think he got shouted down by people saying "give these new people a chance".

Well from what I continue to hear from players and others on the inside that's very much what's going on. Harrop is making things very difficult for the players and kev, hoping he'll walk. There is no money for even loan signings, they are just making out there is but not coming forward with it when he finds a player he wants.

Heard again that the keifer Moore deal was all agreed and finalised using some the blissett money and wages but that GI pulled it after kev had it all set up. Long before Ipswich were ever on the scene. That's coming from a friend of his who he'd told he was "coming home".

Heard today about the lads in the lodge getting shit from Harrop who everyone thinks is a total pleb...Like a spoilt kid who's dad owns the business so he acts like he owns the place" was how it got told to me today.

Apparently kev and Robbie know their time is up, have done since the GI sale was announced, so do the players and that the GI plan all along is to trick the council into a land sale whilst minimising the club running costs, even if that means relegation.

Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just telling you what I have been told today by a first team player and backed up by someone working at the club who I can't name for obvious reasons. Time will tell if that's accurate.

It looks like we the supporters maybe getting played just like some people on here feared a while back.

I think 'Amanda Counter' is a pseudonym for 'A Bean Counter' :~D

Well let's clear this up by using the club's official programme from last night. On the page headed 'Directory & Contents' under the sub-heading 'Who's Who?' it starts off listing 'Lifelong Presidents': Thea Bristow, Ian Hayman, Mervyn Benny', then 'Player-Manager', 'Assistant Manager' etc until we come to 'Finance: Amanda Counter' so no mention of Mel Hayman anywhere and importantly no mention anywhere of a Chairman or Directors.
Mind you there's no mention of Hodgkiss either in the squad on the back page. Interestingly neither is there any reference to GI/Riviera Stadiums anywhere.
So don't believe everything you read!

No.....the OP clearly stated: 'TUFC official website says that he is still the Chairman' and THAT relates to the football club board ~ not that of Plainmoot Ltd ~ because the holding company board has never been itemised on the OS.

Plainmoor Ltd has now been 'bought out' by Riviera Stadium Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gaming International which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Toklon Ltd ~ gottit?

To be fair that's what you're talking about! The OP was asking about board members! :na:

In the interview with osbourne, it was quite clearly discussed that Phillips had left. Whether that meant left on a free all inclusive holiday to Australia courtesy of GI or as chairman I'm not sure.
