Taken from twitter, so not really a fact but it seems Asif Latief has left the Board.

That's no bad thing, my dealings with A-Plant is that everyone from the upper levels as absolute crooks and charlatans.
The club need a new board member who isn't going to take a back seat and has some capital to invest.

Short term let's hope someone can come forward with at least the finances to guarantee that we don't need to sell anymore players before the end of the season.
Longer term I suppose depends on what division we end up in.

I'm not sure what he brought to the table (if anything) so hopefully we find a replacement who is more proactive and prepared to put their head above the parapet.

The Supporters own the Club. Stop waiting for someone to come along with cash to pay for your enjoyment. Get stuck in yourselves. It can be done if everybody decides to do it.
Asif seemed a passenger to me. Could anybody tell me what he contributed besides a nice speech

The club need a new board member who isn't going to take a back seat and has some capital to invest. And if anybody,apart from Andy Rosler,knows of a suitable candidate I’m sure he’d be welcomed. Semantics,but I think we’ve established it’s not an investment |

Asif seemed a passenger to me. Could anybody tell me what he contributed besides a nice speech JJR It all seems very confusing, not trying to be funny but who are the power brokers? the elected members with no say, the trust, the managing director or Andy Rosler, we appear to have no direction other than well intended fans. I think tomorrow games needs to accompany a leaflet spelling out what is needed, by the club, the trust, the elected board or who ever, hopefully we will reach those not only trust members but those who have no interest in social media. I am not trying to be clever but with no income over the next month it does appear without too much of a finer point we have some very serious issues. |

You know I’m not sure what else the club can say.
There are regular statements,he’s talked about their work in the community,they’ve tried to sell new products and made clear that the finances are very challenging.
I know it’s good to talk but,for heavens sake,what more needs to be said ?
Broadly the fans all understand the issues and are supportive of efforts to improve the situation

For me, it all seems a little disjointed. We the fans are supposed to own the club, yet nobody has contributed anything financially, or is involved in any way meaningful. There seems to be plenty of layers with plenty of people in each, but nobody seems to be taking any decisions bar AR. If anyone else is, it's not communicated effectively. There seems to be the same level of interaction with the fans and the club as ever. We have a supporters trust, but I'm struggling to see the impact they are having. That's not a slight on those hard-working people either, before those involved jump down my throat. If things are being achieved then I, as a fan, am not hearing about it. It's all a bit muddled. It feels like we're stumbling blindly forward rather than having anything organised to strive for...

What will we do the next time we need to hire a 6 tone fork lift or Cherry picker with wheels. |

It feels like we're stumbling blindly forward rather than having anything organised to strive for... I actually agree with this to a certain extent. The goals/aims of the new ownership model should've been the first thing they communicated along with how and what they want the fans to get involved. However it's pretty obvious to everyone that we are struggling, and the main way that the fans can help out is by attending games and getting some money through the turnstiles. We'll probably be lucky to get 1500 vs Widnes, with these meagre gate receipts expected to pay the bills until the next home game a month later. When the next inveitable player sale then happens the board will then cop for a load more flak, but perhaps we also need to look a bit closer to home. |

I am not saying individuals are not working hard it just all seems very disjointed. I & am sure others are willing to contribute more but there appears to be very little direction, I will be there tonight. |

I thought that trustees stood for election and the members in this case the supporters voted for who they thought was the best candidate but am I not right in thinking that they were simply appointed by Mr Koukash and presented as the new board without the fans having a meaningful say.

I don’t think people understand what a community club is all about.
Non of the board members put money in they are there to oversee the running of the club and its finances.
They don’t get paid for this( correct me if I am wrong please) and have other jobs to do as well.
If we don’t get crowds then income has to come from elsewhere.
If this means selling a player then that’s what’s done.
It means living within your means so high earners have to go and we get bargains from the championship or elsewhere.
To work it needs investment from sponsors fans and other revenue streams.
There is no sugar daddy just hard working people trying to keep our club afloat.
If anyone out there who continually moans about selling players, and no new players coming in there is a opportunity for you now to get on the board and have a go.
