Good luck Bill......I like what you said about encouraging new investment.

I hope your first step will not be to slate the fans on social media.....

Bill, great news!

Do you still live in Beaconsfield? If yes then please could you PM me, cheers.

So are we all backing the board now?

[taxi Phil]

Serious question : will Bill still be allowed by his new board colleagues to post on here ? I don't know him personally but have always respected his input.

No, I'm backing Bill

This for me doesnt change or paper over the cracks of the issues that we have as a club. However, one thing Bill has said is he's going to be looking at club communication - which is what's caused a lot of the issues.

The board would not be as hated if the communication had been better.

60% off the issues at present are non-footballing.

you would hope so it's a free country and lets be honest communication between the fans has been poor so this would be a good start

I don't like the idea of the board posting on here this ain't for them its for us

[im not really here]

Doesn't change a thing for me either. All that's happened is Bill has replaced Andrew Shaw. Doughty is still manager and Rowley is still Chairman, it'll take more than a few soundbites from Bill to sort this mess out.

This attitude of us and them is the reason why we are in this mess.

Bill is attempting to bridge that gap.

I see no harm in a supporter who has been a regular and informative poster on here retaining their ability to post, especially as it may lead to a better relationship with the fans.

He is also more sensible than other posters who have a lot of insider info and I believe he won't make stupid statements on this forum or other parts of social media which will make the club a laughing stock.

I agree bill has made a massive sacrifice but for the good of the team or the forum

Completely agree. I mean, bear in mind that we have some dumb-assed Macc fan who comes on here from time to time to spread some poison. Why wouldn't we want a fan who is also a board member to contribute what I am sure will be reasoned comments (even if not everybody agrees with all of them)

"hated"......a very strong term....these people run a football club and despite where things are at right now, they have not acted maliciously have they ?

BTW I can count on one hand people in my lifetime who I claim to hate

[safe95]

First board member to be a forum member first?

I think that would have been Ecky - and secondly myself

[cheshire cat]

It's a difficult gap to bridge. It's OK representing officialdom but there's a line you can't cross when the stones are being thrown.
