Re: 'Redpassion is a disgrace
I was in the pub last night (….I had a feeling the meeting in the Cent was not going to reveal a lot, and frankly have lost interest in those love in meetings).
However, I was very surprised at the number of people debating events at the club over the last few days. Many I didn't even realise knew the club existed. Everyone was saying how ridiculous recent events have made the club look and how amateurish things appeared to have been handled. I have no idea what the truth is behind how, why and when all the events since Ricketts left us have happened, but from a PR point of view this has been a massive own goal. And I struggle to understand how that can be blamed on Red Passion. |

Re: 'Redpassion is a disgrace
How many times has red passion been the focal point for campaign against Moss and Roberts, been a platform for the WST, raising the money to start the season, building the budget. I’d take red passion over the board anyday. It’s disgusting that club officials think it’s right to insult fellow Wrexham fans who’ve saved this club more times than I can count.

Re: 'Redpassion is a disgrace
Just switched on my quarter of a brain, as someone who is not on Twitter or Facebook and no intentions of I just use my little brain on RP. I don't know what goes on, on those things although I've been told they make RP look like a calm collected forum in comparison.
All the outrage on here could of been easily calmed down if the board had done the decent thing, they and their idols look and post on here so no excuses and all they to do was this. Apologise for the complete balls up they have been making on the playing side of the club, the poor decision making, the treating their fellow fans like imbeciles, and just do the simple thing and hold their hands up and admit they have got it wrong on numerous occasions. Nobody is criticising the very good job they are doing on the running side of it they deserve credit for that and the voluntary time they put in. But it's a football club which imho is to big for them to know the main bread and butter side as well and that's where the board lack professionalism. All they had to do was apologise for the recent diabolical decisions since the departure of Ricketts which has wasted our the owners money. They can close ranks surround themselves with sycophants as much as they like, all it is doing is driving a wedge between the fanbase, not every fan who goes to the games support the WST or the fan ownership, but they are fans and put money into the club. Recent events has split the fanbase like Brexit has the country and if we don't even make the play offs this season then the storm clouds will gather, fans won't put up with this failure forever, after last season's cock ups,to be followed with even worse this season fans are in despair. We have to get behind the really amateurish appointment of Bryan Hughes as he is just a patsy to take the brunt of it if we fail again like Davies last season. Here's hoping he gets the right experienced assistant because he is going to need it. Posted via mobile theme |

If, as some say it’s caused a rift between fans, it is up to those that feel aggrieved to call for an Extraordinary General Meeting, in accordance with the constitution, whatever that may be (x no of members, y % of members). I don’t know what the exact mechanics are in the case of WST, but if a group feel strong enough about things they should do their own research and work towards it. It goes without saying that only Trust Members can call for such a meeting, so those thinking of resigning their membership need to bear that in mind if they are looking for explanations or changes to be made. Resigning will only hurt the Club and take away whatever voice you have. |

Re: 'Redpassion is a disgrace
Some observations from last night…
Bad start when Pete Jones decided to crack some jokes about the frequency of “meet the manager” meetings (note to Pete: it’s really not funny anymore”). Then a decent interview. A good structure from Jones, albeit clumsily done. Bryan Hughes was actually quite impressive, much more articulate than I remember . He seemed to have a good insight into why we don’t score goals, and hinted at a return to two strikers playing closer together; to me 433 is a long term reason why we don’t score. He skirted difficult questions with intelligence and a degree of honesty, in particular the question about whether he would leave us early a la Keates and Ricketts; clearly he will. The second half was a brilliant exposition of game management and control. A united board on stage, fronting a hall which had been packed early (at the front) by loyalists - the nodding dogs. Spencer Harris spoke well and played to this crowd skillfully , asking them questions where he knew the answer would be an infant school supportive chorus of “Yessssss”. From the Board’s point of view some good planted statements and questions too, especially from the nodding dog who seemed to think any critics are “cretins”. So, it was carefully controlled throughout and anyone sitting further back who had anything remotely off the party line to say was given ugly looks and shakes of the head by the nodding dogs, or in this case the “head-shaking dogs”. Particularly disappointing was Pete Jones’ ramble about how WST ownership is the only way forward; apparently the fate of Notts County proves this. I suspect that when he sees a swallow in May he thinks it’s going to be a glorious summer. So I left feeling quite sad. It is clear more than ever that this is a clever clique with its head firmly turned against any other form of ownership or ideas. I expected some humility, some apologies, maybe some ideas for how they intend to do things differently in the future, how strategies might change; but alas no. They really are completely out of touch with fans beyond the activist base. And anyone who thinks Richard Ulrich is the answer ? Well perhaps not. This bloke spent the entire first half glued to his phone and chatting to his mates. He showed not the slightest bit of interest in Bryan Hughes’ answers. |
