I don't know Rod Taylor so I have no axe to grind with him personally. I just felt that - as The Man With The Microphone - he was in a particularly powerful (and unchallengeable) position on Saturday: nobody had a right to reply. How politicians must envy him: they could all say whatever they liked and the (captive) audience can like it or lump it as we all did at the Globe on Saturday. I didn't personally agree with some of the things he said, which I thought were self-serving and not necessarily true either. To be fair though, I take my hat off to him for being seemingly the only person on the Morecambe Board to be prepared to stick his head above the parapet and actually talk to The Great Unwashed in the first place (who else does?) However, I think it would be better if he were to write a version of what he said on Saturday and publish it on the Club's website. That way, at least there would be the possibility for some sort of feedback from the people who actually support what is - when all is said and done - our club. Not his. Not mine. Not yours. But all of ours. Surely that's a more productive way to proceed for everyone concerned rather than a one-way street where we all hear what he thinks but it doesn't work the other way round.

I love his passion and drive, he doesn't have to put in the hours he does, A great man!
Also, forgot to mention the input of another very loyal servant and unsung hero of the club,
Chesh:
great to have a chat the other day, the pitch is bloody fantastic, the hard work, you and your small team of volunteers can't go unnoticed.
you're priceless to this club and a top bloke.

Without a version of what he actually said, I can't answer this properly. I'm not avoiding the question: I just thought at one point during proceedings that he was putting a very particular spin on the role of the Board in Jim Bentley's departure which did not tell the whole story. I also note that in the match-day programme, the `article' by co-owner Goldring didn't even mention the Faceflannel controversy which he was directly responsible for, let alone address it. Yet Jimbo cited this bit of skulduggery as the last straw at Morecambe as far as he was concerned. You could say that this isn't Rod's problem - he didn't do it. But Rod's part of the Board; is there no Collective Responsibility?
But to go back to what I wrote originally, given that there's no mechanism for feedback from plebs like me and most of the rest us to the Upper Crust who own our club, maybe this is not all that surprising. To use another political analogy, what happens at Morecambe FC is an example of what was once known as Democratic Centralism. This is a Marxist-Leninist concept: true democracy exists only when the Politburo tells everyone else what to do. They tried this in the Soviet Union. And we all know what happened to it...

Pardon? Never heard of the extermination of the Kulak class; Collective Farms and the famine these policies created? All under Comrade Lenin, not Uncle Joe. But let's remember - this is a football forum, not a political one where people - er - state their views.
