Come on Dave Boddy, if Robert Mugabe can manage it, why can't you?

Because I don't believe Boddy is a megalomaniac in any shape or form. He wields no power, he is not a dominating force. Undoubtedly incompetent at the level he is operating at, the only reason he is still in the Boardroom is because of the general apathy amongst supporters and shareholders alike, who are just there for the football (WCFC supporters are no different to any others the length and breadth of the country, who often wake up one morning to find their football club in administration, and wonder how it all happened).
Boddy and the rest of the clowns can only be forced out by going through due process, and unless challenged, could stay there until the club folds. The problem has been, whenever the Board is challenged, the challengers have been ridiculed and called agitators or troublemakers. Well hopefully that is now changing and the challengers are now seen as people who actually really care for the future of the club.

I think you will find (in case David Hallmark is watching!  ) that I did not call Mr Boddy an incompetant megalomaniac, I was merely making the case that if an incompetant megalomaniac like Robert Mugabe can agree to share power, it should be possible for Dave Boddy and the Board of Directors to do likewise. Thinking about it, I hope David Hallmark does not also represent Robert Mugabe! |

me neither, I didn't call him a megalomaniac  Just his one statement promising to get the website back live in 24 hours (over two days ago) is a measure of incompetence in itself. His performances at meetings such as the shareholders meeting, and his inability to act properly in relation to his duties as a Director under company law speak for themselves. Anyway, I think any plans for a sharing of power are long gone!! |

My greatest fear is that people are to afraid to openly criticize somebody for fear of being dragged though the courts for speaking the truth.

As a shareholder I want to know what is the extent of David Hallmarks current involvement in the whole relocation process. That's the problem Wayne; as shareholders there are so many questions we want to know the answer to. And that perceived lack of communication, whether it be the ability to answer a simple email or disseminate details (even in truncated form) of matters relating to the future of the club, is one of the main reasons why the current Board has lost the few friends it had. I do still feel genuine sympathy for DB; he has been out of his depth (I used that very same metaphor months ago) for ages and his choice of advisors has been poor to say the least. He had been thrown a very real lifeline in the form of the compromise deal brokered by the Doc ; for reasons best known to himself he refused to grasp it and now he is clutching, not at a lifeline, but at straws. |

As a shareholder I would like to know whether David Hallmark is offering the best advice for the Football Club?
Why did the current Board go back to using him after they had a major falling out?
I would also like to know what his fee would be should we move to Nunnery Way?
I would also like to know how Mr Boddy and his Board intend to get planning permission at Nunnery Way now that the proposed Stadium is not going to be a "landmark stadium" and the football ground is now around 5.5acres when it was originally significantly more?
A handful of Reasonable Questions of many that remained unanswered or are they unreasonable?

" and the football ground is now around 5.5acres when it was originally significantly more?" When did that happen? That's staggering if its true, does anyone know what the current size of SGL is? it has to be in the region of 7 acres doesn't it? I seam to remember the whole plot at NW is around 21 (ish) acres so that means we get a quarter of the site? and the enabling development (which isn't enabling anything anymore) takes up 3/4 of the site! Surely the City Council wouldn't go for this proposal, if the St Mods planners push any further down the plot we will be building on the roundabout. Where is Mr Andrew Guy when you need him? |

Hehe I ws just thinking about Mr Guy. He's been rather quiet of late, content in the knowledge that the club will put through its own net before he needs to up his game?
