Should be a 3 strike system or something. Whilst some I would not say are trolls and debate their different views with reason, there are some who are just here to take the ****, it’s toxic and brings the place down

True, as 1% of trolls could be an supporters of an rivals club who like to have an kick by trolling our forums, so as you said, 3 strikes, then you are out.
 
What a fncking mess.
Part of me wishes Stan hadn’t stepped forward with his offer of help, for a brief moment there was a speck of light at the end of the tunnel with visions of the sort of club we could aspire to be. Now all gone.
Ignorance is bliss ☹
 
I like others am deeply disappointed to read all of this from Mr Collymore but when will our chairman learn.
Cant he see that people want to work with him to help the club not against him. I have said all along that we needed someone to do just this and when we have had an opportunity knock on the door RM has opened that door invited them in and then slammed the door in the face. No we don't know what has gone on and rightly some things need to remain confidential but you should never turn away support.
What is he fearful of?
 
Shame to hear this stan but not overly surprised. Would like to say thanks for your efforts over last 3 weeks. You tried your best, that's all you can do I guess.

Whatever fans views are on sufc plight, this club is ****ed in so many ways and will rot in non league football for quite some time..... the old saying when things can't get any worse doesn't apply to sufc.

Sad times to be sufc fan.

I've negotiated 1 British club record transfer and 4 club record transfers in my 20's. So of course a National League agent and contract would be terrifying.

I never talk money in an agreement meeting, only roles and responsibilities.

I invite terms then to be offered and accept or decline them. Standard practice.

But a first in 30 years of contract negotiations happened last night. I shook hands on agreed roles and responsibilities, something discussed over 3 seperate meetings, only for that deal to not resemble the agreed roles and responsibilities whatsoever.

Whatsoever.

I'm relaxed because I've acted with great care and honesty in every interaction. I've done everything in the correct way. Maybe that's the problem for some of you, you're addicted to the lies, the lack of accountability, transparency and honesty.

Many on this forum and amongst the wider supporter base seem to have forgotten that it wasn't me who's turned up 19 times to HMRC.

It's not me who won't allow a forensic analysis of every penny and where it's gone at the club.

It's not me who gave a 3 year contract to a player who walked out of a negotiation doing cartwheels because he thought he might "nick one" year. Apparently a very familiar pattern in seasons gone by.

It's not me who's overseen 2 relegations.

It's not me who's overseen a first season in 101 in Non League.

It's not me that every season is late on the starting line.

It's not me who doesn't pay employees on time.

It's not me who routinely does everything late.

It's not me who's burned every bridge built and snapped every olive branch.



Words matter.
Handshakes matter.
Agreements matter.
Honesty matters.
Trust matters.

Stay safe.

I still feel as empty as I did this morning when I read your post.

Whoever it was that changed / blocked your agreement shows the usual contempt the club shows for anyone who tries to help or advise, RM can do it all and thinks he knows far more than anyone else and of course is never wrong as there's always someone he can throw in front of the No9 bus.

There have been quite a few posts on SZ stating we can't expect to know too much or be too regularly informed, why? Any other business the people who pay the wages call the shots, for far far too long our supporters have been taken for granted and treated like mushrooms.

I have had enough and will stand by my principals that if you can't respect me I won't pay you through the turnstile, shop or any other revenue stream.

It's not you that owns the club.
It's not you that had the burden of responsibility with every decision.
It's not you that has stumped up a lot of dosh to keep things afloat.

It is you that has walked away for the second time in a matter of weeks.
It is you that says fans are most important but haven't informed us of the exact problem you encountered.
It is you that has given hope to a lot of your fans and failed to see it through.

I am not attempting to goad you but transparency is your claim but it is all opaque at the moment. Being quick to slam into RM is not going to build bridges or appear as anything other than schoolboy tantrums.

There are a lot on this site that breathed in your every word. At least be open for their sake. UTB

Absolute and utter garbage.

I have every email, text message, zoom call, meeting transcribed with contemporaneous notes.

All there, go and read or watch them and maybe you'll learn what transparency is rather than taking to forums to slag off someone who's only every brought money into your football club. In 1992 and 2021 to the Trust.

People like you make me genuinely laugh. All mouth supporting broken and failed systems for years then lash out at decent people who've never done anything wrong to you or your club, ever.

Stan, can I ask you something? Why have you walked away, why don't you stand up and fight? You have worked so hard to get to where you have got to and every fan appreciates that. The vitriol on here is because they all know what Ron is like and were over the moon to have someone stand up to him and be counted and now they are really disappointed.

You are exactly what's needed to get us back on an even keel
 
Jesus wept, what a day! I caught a glimpse of the thread during a dull meeting this morning and have just trawled through ... genuinely gutted. Not just to lose the opportunity I felt Stan presented (I truly believe his energy and passion could have made a difference) but the realisation that we’re still under the control of someone I fear won’t learn and can only steer us in the same direction we’ve been going in for the past three years.

Boy I need a drink!

On the attack again Stan? If you advocate transparency, tell us what role you wanted and what role was offered. As for me being all mouth and making you laugh, your opinion and you are entitled to it. I am equally entitled to point out that your mouth ran off telling your supporters how great you can be for the club, whipping fans up, and then running away at the first dust up with Ron. You may well be the one in the right, I have not said otherwise. But I do prefer the facts and both sides of the story.

Put your temper back into a box and use the energy more positively. I know the club earned money from you but they earned that by picking you up from another clubs stiffs and setting you on your way to your own paydays. Vitriol is unnecessary. A few answers would suffice.

Once again Ron does exactly what deep down we all know he can and will do. For what it's worth Stan your expertise and knowledge would of been so good so can only say cheers for trying. What's the odds we have a statement by end of week with no CEO being appointed.

You won't get much down William Hill's for that one ?‍♂️
