Cheated this club out of its own money to pay for it
Proceeded to asset strip the club
Lied about the takeover and used KLD as a front to con the fans again

Donald and Charlie are criminals to this club as far as I'm concerned. Whilst Bob Murray and Ellis Short were well intended people who made mistakes and ultimately cared for the club, these two are parasites who do not have our best interests at heart.

Short may have initially cared but ultimately lost interest in the club.
He sold it to Madrox, fully aware they couldn't afford it and were using parachute payments to fund the purchase.
He's as guilty as anyone.
 

I hope after the metting tonight that RAWA can at least make some kind of statement about their feelings of how the meeting went. I know they can't go into details until the minutes are agreed and dstributed but we know from previous meetings those can take ages to be signed off and I think that's what'll happen after this meeting. The club will delay the minutes hoping things quieten off (and maybe even win promotion), then release them. I'd like to think RAWA could issue some statement along the lines of "all our questions were answered and we are a lot clearer now although we can't go into details" or "we found our questions were being sidelined or not answered clearly and remain frustrated without further transparency" or whatever happens to be the case.
At least people have an idea how the meeting went without any of the official details.
 
Let's get tough. The time for talking is over. Call it extreme if you like, but I propose we hit them hard and hit them fast with a major -- and I mean major -- leaflet campaign, and while they are reeling from that, we'd follow up with a {whist} drive, a car boot sale, some street theatre and possibly even some benefit concerts. OK?

Short put more of his own money into this club than every other owner combined.

Yes, but the way he invested it was madness, and created the problem by making us unsustainable without his/a similar-level of regular input.
Then he lost interest, pulled the plug completely and knowingly receiving parachute payments intended to soften the blow of relegation as payment to take the Frankenstein's Monster he created off his hands.
The whole shit show is ultimately Short's doing, whether initially well intentioned or not.

Telling them you won’t be buying a season ticket next season would work much better, if enough people do it.

Any investment won't be from your mates.

Embarrassing the way you befriend people who are destroying the club you apparently 'support'

I'm not defending anyone, I'm just saying it as it is, this whole hate thing is way out of hand

I don't think they would, we can't really be sustainable at this level. Mind, we can't really be sustainable in the championship either, I can't remember the figure but you only get a few million more in TV money, but obviously have to spend to try and compete with recently relegated PL sides and attendances wouldn't jump that much to cover it. So in one way maybe things are less bad in this league, but we're also further away from the PL where they could make genuine money, so I doubt they'd want us staying here

May I just say good luck for your meeting.
I hope you get the answers you need and can then calm this forum down.

RAWA intentions are good...but they're dealing with a group who couldn't care less about the club.

If RAWA want real change they could start to organise ... coordinate resistance against madrox.

Dialogue has failed
