The saga of our lilly livered Chairman last night hit a new low in my humble opinion. I was reponsible for arranging and attending meetings for forty of my fifty years of work. many of them were ion far flung corners of the UK and I always ensured that I was there, not on time but well before. Only twice in thos e years did I fail to turn up on time, once when the IRA had threatened to blow up spaghetti junction at Birmingham and I was stuck in traffic for 7 hours and the other time because I had made a bad entry into my diary and was in Berwick when I should have been in Skegness. that took a lot of grovelling to get out of and I held my hands up baing totally honest with the people I was supposed to be with.
Honesty seems to be one of the things that is alien to our Chairman and we have had years of broken promises and untruths from both him and his father before him. Like father like son seems to fit this situation.
Last night, it appears that new depths of deceit were reached when his chosen fans representatives were left in the lurch dueto a planned meeting being hastily cancelled at the last minute after supporters had travelled from various parts of the country, without problems, to attend.
It all adds to the cunning duplicity of the man who now not only cancels a meeting at the last opportunity but critices his manager as being unprofessional; refers to his paying customers as the mob; refuses to talk to anyone except on his own terms and constantly repudiates any criticism of himself or his family.
These in my book are the actions of a coward, someone who has finally been cornered and shown up for the ill bred, disrespectful, contemptuous, insulting, discourteous, impudent person they really are.
A lily-livered coward, too pusillanimous to deal with any situation that requires a modicum of decency or honesty.
A quote from Shannon L Alder sums up my feelings for this man “I have always found it odd that people who think passive aggressively ignoring a person is making a point to them. The only point it makes to anyone is your inability to articulate your point of view because deep down you know you can’t win. It’s better to assert yourself and tell the person you are moving on without them and why, rather than leave a lasting impression of cowardness on your part in a person’s mind by avoiding them."
JRR Tolkien put it more succinctly when he wrote "A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a short cut to meet it."
If the Chairman thinks he has avoided his fear, he should take note of the second part of that quote, as I'm quite sure his short cut will lead to increased protest by 'the mob.'

And now we see what managers, agents and players have to contend with.
Let's remember he left Ollie waiting an hour and we nearly lost the best manager in a generation.
The man is beyond contempt! | |

It's the 10 minutes notice that gets me - surely he knew how long it takes from the M6 toll road to get back to Blackpool! It's the problem that sums us up - we are in a one man totalitarian state and we're all suffering because of it! | |

Anyone else think he was seeing yet another manager but couldn't reveal where he really was?! | |

Cowardly or a shrewd operator. Did you see the questions they wanted answering? KO will know that he's under the kosh and until we start to get a few wins under our belts and a few new signings he will have more questions to answer. So leave it until we slowly start to climb the table, get in a few signings (loans of course!) and maybe offer something in the way of training ground planning and he'll have crossed half of those questions off the list. He's a past master at avoiding the questions fans want answered and I guarantee the next meeting isn't arranged until at least some of those things are done. | |

So no meetings for the foreseeable future then Mr B? Like 5 years or so??  | | | |

Karl in my opinion is somebody who thrives over control, he loves to feel like he has power over others and therefore can leave managers waiting an hour, look for potential candidates while the post is currently in use and make snide comments about the fans of his club with a fake demeanour of intelligence (in my opinion) which he doesn't have.
It's a dangerous trait Karl. |  | | |

Interesting he said he was trying to do too much and couldn't make it but has a date rearranged. Is all the criticism of him now unfounded and it was purely a timing error?! | |

Yes, there's a new time arranged, but nevertheless, many were inconvenienced at best. Not good enough. |  | | |
