10 minutes in and struggling to hear Tom. Presume its a work laptop. Computing power of a calculator

Much better from 13 minutes onwards. New CEO multi tasking already, although may need to change his zoom name. I know how he feels. Had to use Zoom and mine appeared as Mrs C

Well done to everyone involved in setting up and participating in these meetings , which are very helpful for fans and greatly appreciated.
My only slight issue with this meeting is that Ron rather dominated the chat from the clubs side when I was hoping he would let Tom take more of the lead.
Didn't get the impression it was deliberate though and as he won't be attending all of them going forward , hopefully the CEO will be the main focal point in the future.
Once again though , well done and thank you.

Have to say from looking at that, Ronnie has definitely got the best office.

One interesting comment from Ron was about a player we are hoping to sign who didn't turn up yesterday. Or his agent. Wonder who the player is and indeed if it is a name that we are aware of.

If anyone who watches it fancies putting together a bulleted (bonus for timestamped) overview I'm sure many zoners would appreciate that.

 

[AustScullyPriorPowell]

An interesting call, shame we didn't understand more about the Stan breakdown

Encouraging signs for the new season

I think it's understandable that Ron took the lead from the ub's point of view given Tom is still a few days in to the job and still finding his feet.

Yeah , I understand and agree with your point and didn't see it as deliberate , but I think he did say that he would let Tom speak , but didn't really follow that through....... I'm sure it will be more of Tom going forward.

 

[Blue Yonder]

Any chance someone could put up who all the people are and who they represent doing a left to right on the opening you tube screen. I know a few of them. Thanks

 

[brigg blue]

Just finished listening to that whilst driving, a very good meeting and seemed pretty positive. My big take away is that players have signed but we can't announce them yet due to league regulations.

Slightly disappointed on streaming but I guess I'll have to get clearance from the long haired dictator to spend some saturdays driving to and from the hall

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Chris Phillips looks like he should be hanging up in the Tate Modern.

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Having these streamed via Zoom calls is a excellent way for those fans to are unable to attend these meetings in person to hear from the likes of Ron and other club representatives.So please keep it going.

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

I thought it was a very encouraging start and in a way, Ron's statement that he will not attend every meeting a show of maybe him being able to loosen the reigns a bit and Becky, err Tom, being able to have time to give an appraisal of progress on the efforts of the football club to move forward on an administrative and with Ricky's input, the footballing front.

Already at this early stage a much better degree of professionalism seems to be forthcoming.

Maybe he should get sponsorship from the estate of Andy Warhol!! lol.

 

[Chalky]

Great to finally see Rebecca speak. Onwards and upwards.

? ?

I'm going to be honest and say I was slightly disappointed by the latest zoom call...... the new CEO didn't really get a chance to speak which was slightly disappointing! Would of liked to heard lot more from him.

Couple of interesting points i took from it were...... the player who was supposed to turn up and negotiate a deal but didn't turn up (hoping its dunne) and North Bank for home fans.

Hopefully the next zoom call will be just new CEO and not ron.

Why do you hope it's Dunne? What do you actually know about him outside of what a couple of Barnet fans who have, much like us I guess, become bitter and twisted as a result of their poor performances on the pitch (only really saved from relegation to National League South by the curtailment of the season at non-league Step 2)?

If he joins, I'll be making my own judgement.

 

[Dorsetshrimper]

It is great to have these Zoom calls recorded and available to the wider fan base. I found it a very informative hour or so.
I am not sure a recording of an in person meeting would work so well.

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

Bit of feedback for participants. Put your zoom on mute when not speaking. Pretty sure Lord Football is a culprit as I could hear him typing away at the end ? also could hear laughing and chatting in background of someone’s.
