Think we are going around in circles here. Ultimately, Armstrong is responsible for his failures, Gowling for his. Decision makers should be responsible for theirs. Tommy Wright - disaster Two year contract extension for AA - disaster Gowling - disaster We’ve then got the ‘dubious’. The stuff I won...

Ahh I forgot the season finished in September! If the board were so confident in Armstrong’s ability to give him a two year deal then they were stupid to get rid so soon in the season especially if there was money still in the kitty. Even if Armstrong had stayed we would not be in this mess now, we...

Armstrong went public last month making himself available for a managerial role again. That could well be a hint that the notice period had been served.

At the 4 month mark, which would be one months' notice for each year employed.

Doesn't sound unreasonable to me, if true.

No one has explained it apart from saying 'DJ said we werent laible for ALL of it'--the idea he has a 2 year contract and will have to accept 3 months wages is ridiculous---we may end up paying him a lump sum that is less than his full value IF he agreed, but this glib 'its been paid off stance' is...

Who’s contracted for next season? Bar those, I’d probably only want to keep Hatfield if he’s not in the above. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hatfield , Nelson and possibly Asante. Not sure on Main. Priority for me is ensuring Steve W and Terry M are with us. Can you imagine relegation with no ...

Just had a read over some of the twitter fallouts (I lurk rather than post on there). The keeper coach should be shown the door. Regardless of the agreement (and I think that's an insane agreement to have, I don't see how you can masquerade as a coach when you aren't prepared to go to the matches o...

DJ has led us to a path of success, over the last few years while keeping the finances in check, so not going into administration again, and 6 leagues down. There have been innovations like the way you can pay by tapping on a terminal to pay which were led by the board members, (very rare at other ...

From taking to fellow fans I don't detect in the silent majority a groundswell of opinion for people who have made mistakes to resign, be chucked out, guillotined or put in the stocks in the market place for a period of self-reflection. It's clear mistakes have been made that led us to this point a...

On this thing with the GK coach.. Are we suggesting that we should be paying a GK coach what would presumably be 12 hours pay to warm an experienced GK up for 15 minutes before a game? Twice in a week this week? I’m just confused why there’s people think that this is a good use of our money. What a...

What does a "two year contract" mean, then? Have you seriously never seen or signed a contract before? Almost every contract is full of clauses and various terms to protect both parties in case of disputes. That's literally the point of a contract.

Those who can, do, and those who can't tend to take to social media and bleat and whinge about those who do. I've seen some of the social media interactions (though I don't want to go down the rabbithole) and it seems to be the perpetual whingers having a go. We are a fan owned club, with fans in v...

97 and 09 work as a pairing - like a Tag team. Why is it on this Forum that perfectly valid criticism is raised, yet the stock response is to reply with something personal? Not for the first time, TOFC. If its any consolation 97, I think you make many good,accurate comments on this board which I ag...

Steve might be able to push us three places up the table, it's possible, but if we go down the ramifications could mean trouble. I'm thinking; Board resignations? Watson leaving? A possible attempted coup by Gray :o It truly is remarkable that you seemingly take exception to me saying that Asante i...

Do the club have a staff social media policy? If they do, then it isn’t being followed. Fed up of seeing spats between Directors/staff and fans online.

The fact Armstrong and Asante are still likely going to be costing us next year is frightening Is that a fact? I’d heard we weren’t paying AA anymore? What do you know?! He knows fuck all.He needs counselling. Aye you can just terminate 2 year contracts for a couple of months salary.. :wtf: You lit...

Oh well, just another goal today for Jacob Hazel, that’s 5 goals & 3 assists for him in 13 appearances at Boston.

Meanwhile Akwasi Asante sits out another week on big wages. He is our 007 at the moment.

0 Goals

0 Assists

7 Appearances

Criminal.

Johnson is not lying on Asante Can't lie when all you do it just allude to something... Was he being honest about Gaskell in the same tweet? We gazumped Salford for Lee Gaskell, paid him more than Danny Webber? Were Salford playing against all odds money wise after all? Or is it just the Asante bit...

PS, as an aside I reckon that he will be on a good wage and so far he's been disappointing - the "huge huge money" thing is a distraction. I'd agree with this the aswell. I also don't think Asante is the first player ever to disappoint when expected to be relatively well paid. That really is not th...

You wish to rubbish rumours that don't suit your point So it is a rumour ;) 97 - things would be simpler if you just said/wrote something along the lines of "I reckon Asante is on huge huge money" instead of making out that you know, because you don't know that he is, anymore than I don't know that...

Johnson is known to be one of the biggest wind up merchants in non league football and yet his comments on the matter are being cited as "proof". Winding people up is literally what he spends 95% of his time doing he didn't lie, he just alluded to something which has been lapped up (exactly what he...

Looking forward to today's preview "Asante will have a fitness test on a groin injury"! Bang on the money, the preview says exactly that. This was a quote back in July after he underwent 'minor surgery' on this groin injury: When asked how long he is set to be out for, Webb replied: “It will be a f...

Put simply, why would he lie? There is no reason to whatsoever. Your 'tangent' was a history of lies and exaggerations by Johnson to provoke and / or protect his reputation. So why would he not. All he has done is his usual provocation. He's not actually said anything definitive he's said unbelieva...
