Its about time someone at the club started to show some leadership,we are in serious danger of relegation now.we all know what the problems are off the pitch and i dont expect miracles,but nothing is coming from board members at all to try and inspire the fans going forward.I feel we are just drifting to relegation now and most fans seem to be accepting this,cant knock the players passion and battling performances but the manager quickly needs to change the tactics or we are doomed.It seems to me that we have lost another 200 home fans since the stevenage game and i understand why.It his hard to watch all the long ball stuff game after game.We really need some inspiration from somewhere,but we are not getting it from the chairman or board or absent owner.To be honest we are becoming a shambles as a club and it hurts to say that.

Judging by the amount of reads and lack of posts on your topic, you might be on to something.

It's a different cover for the same book....correct in the sense that we are a bit rudderless off the pitch , minor shareholders muddling through and contributing time and money , despite the fact that they themselves are in the dark about the club's future , is a consideration, moaning about lack of updates can easily be explained, there's nothing to report, the club has an uncertain future because it needs a major investor if it is to survive in the football league , it's that simple.

Judging by what the time the post was started 10pm on a Saturday night, and it's now 8.20 on a Sunday Morning(Day of Rest) with people getting chance to have a lay in bed, and your down under is it 17hours infront? Hmmm they could be on to something.

We were told about 3 months ago that Mr Burnard had identified a possible buyer who would only proceed if the existing board resigned.
This was countered when the existing board made a statement that another possible investor/purchaser had shown an interest.
Since then the silence has been deafening.
Is the problem that the existing board and one member in particular refuse to waive or write off their directors' loans as they have a perfect right to do ?
It does appear as though the only person showing leadership at the club is Jim and he deserves our full support in his efforts to preserve our league status.

I love how MPH jumps all over these kind of posts. Ok ok ok, we get it. You are in a director's pocket and he chucks you little tit bits of information that most of us don't know.

Almost as funny as a guy in Australia having a pop at a bloke who has stood on the terraces for over 50 years.

Berlinwaller, I am far from being in anyone's pocket , I am friendly with a fair few members of staff, and a couple of very minor shareholding directors yes, but I gain no advantage from this , I support the club at my own expense , and I have actually been very vocal if, in my opinion, anyone at the club has cocked up, so get your facts straight ......have you given any of your time to help the club out ?

I shouldn't even have an opinion really coz I support Burnley too...but don't tell anyone

When the prospective buyers were sniffing around was it then that new contracts appeared to our management team? If so that would have made me think twice or reduce my offer!

Serious question this....reading some posts on the forum following yesterday's result and post match interview, has Jim and Co now lost the support of some fellow posters on SVs...

I like Jim as a person and what he has achieved during his time with the club, but I continue to question his tactics and team selections.

Steady on there cowboy, where did I say you benefit from your friendships? Looks like I touched a nerve there eh?

I said I chuckle every time I see a post like this because you come on like a self appointed unofficial club spokesman and try to shoot down a concerned fan with your insider knowledge. I chuckle not because it is funny, i chuckle because it is as predictable as your tiresome jibes at CC.

And if you want to be a two team w@nker, knock yourself out mate.

Hahaha....funee!!

Absolutely! He lost mine years ago

We need to change our tactical thinking. We have lost at least 3 points in our last two home games because of poor tactics. Against Stevenage we tried to sit on a 1-0 lead and failed. Yesterday we messed up the substitutions and a draw became a defeat. We cannot continue to squander home points with naive tactics.

The only time we played proper football with a decent tempo was after they equalised.

We should have started the 2nd half like that and gone for the jugular. They had a poor defence and another goal might have killed them off.

We need a minimum of 6 wins from 16 games.

From a neutral perspective, not knowing either of you, I can't see anything wrong with MPH's stance here. You, BW, continue to come over as the w@nker here though...

With only 7 wins in 30 this season we have a mountain to climb !

This is off another thread, but this thread, makes this point.

2nd this.

might help people have a better understanding and also falling out with each other and losing even more Supporters.

This is a lot to do with people falling out on Social media and at the Ground and in Bars.

The times you see interviewers on the BBC, Sky, BT, Challanging your Mourinho's, Wenger's Klopp's about tactics and what other people(fans, players, TV Pundits etc) have to say about the game, it gives you a better understanding.

I stand to be corrected but never heard anybody challenge Jim about playing Barkauzen our most dangerous forward player at R/B when we were struggling to score goals.

Or Paddy Amond in wide positions(Scored yesterday against Spurs) when he's deadly infront of goal.

Like I said it gives people a better understanding.

Berlin waller is obviously looking for an argument but cant find a sparring partner ...sorry love but we are all paired up!! lol:

maybe it should be "boringwallflower"
