And you shouldn't trust Hayman either.....

Agree wholeheartedly.

She was the Trojan horse as I've intimated time and time again. I'm glad someone else has chosen to highlight/ponder her role in the whole sorry saga.

I remember it well mate. The calibre of loans this season showed our true intentions but again it was Johnson who took the flak when in reality he had little choice but to take the meagre handouts on offer. I'd heard stories from other clubs about how unwilling we were to pay even small percentages of loanee wages and I found it hard to stomach the hatred directed at the manager instead of the 'owner'. I guess that put me at loggerheads with most of the users on here but so be it. All that aside I'll toast the removal of Osborne, Edwards and Hayman and welcome new owners as long as they have no connections with Osborne.

I've never been on Merse's site but if you want to send me the post you mention by copy/paste I'll gladly take a look.

I think most people miss the point. It's not that I think he's blameless but more the hysterical anger directed at him that I found distasteful. I felt and still feel that anger should have been directed at Osborne.

I personally wasn't interested in results in the context that the whole future of the club was at stake. Johnson almost got our league status back but it's almost certain that we'd have soon lost it again with Osborne as an 'owner'. To me the most important thing was seeing him off and I hope we end up with an owner who wants to see our club thrive. Maybe then I'll be able to just go and enjoy watching a game of football again, it's been a while since I had enthusiasm for a sport I've loved my whole life apart from the last 6 years. The level of deceit and questionable ethics that have prevailed at TUFC has literally turned my stomach.

I am pleased that Osborne not losing a penny has been confirmed by the end of year accounts. That man was funded by the big building companies on the hope of some lucrative property deal. My source was correct in every aspect and at last threw light on the Byzantine business strategy of the malign Osborne which nobody could work out until then. He desreves no sympathy and no one should feel sorry for him, he doesn't care about the club, community or fans. He has not put any of his money in. A slimeball of epic proportions, a liar and unethical. Attempted to deploy Trojan Horse tactics amongst the fan base to create division. Some of whom I expect were either seriously misguided or actually paid or given favours to sow the seeds of discontent. True, the club may have gone under had not him and the big builders not stepped in, that I am grateful for. However, the club was in peril again, owned by a parasite that would eventually devour it's host.

Looking forward, hopefully we will have an owner that wants the club to thrive, engage with the fans, maximise all income generation opportunities and invest in the playing side. I am so much more optimistic after the Taunton result. Roll on 24/25.

I knew a lot about his previous methods at other sporting venues and to me it was obvious. I've taken a lot of stick over the years and threats from various quarters but nothing could or would ever stop me from posting my views on him and his MO. I would love nothing more than to see us rid of everything to do with him and his cohorts. I still worry that he'll find a way to keep his grubby mitts on the club in some way so I'm looking forward more than most to finding out who the successor will be.

I did defend you when your post was mocked by others. Sometimes the truth is hard for certain people to accept. It amazes me that all the vitriol and hatred was hurled at Gary Johnson while Osborne rarely got any at all, hence my staunch defence of a hamstrung manager. In the end he became the perfect fall guy for a shady 'owner'.

Seems like only yesterday I was playing against Havant, and Waterlooville before they merged. Always disliked both of them so it's obviously easy to predict a defeat for the first and hopefully last time.

2-1 defeat.

But do you prefer King Grifters like Tice & Farage or Braverman & any Tory conperson ??

None of the above. I'm for anarchy and rebellion

Dutchgull wrote: ↑18 Apr 2024, 13:18 Sorry but that is garbage !
The preferred bidder would surely go through everything at Plainmoor to see what they are getting into. I certainly don't mind waiting as long as we end up with the right people who can run the club sanely and not as the basket case it has been !!

That rules out the Starmer/Corbyn consortium then

Also it is believed The Range man was at the Bath game...

Poster removed it, not any of us. Make of that what you will

Fixed.
