I was called this morning by Gary Hoffman and he distanced himself from the comments attributed to Joe Elliott at the SOC meeting re when they get control they wouldn't work with any group that had talked to the current management and/or owners. Also he said he was in favour of fan representation as he was a fan himself.
Just wanted to set the record straight.
Really wish you wouldn't jack it in Jan. I don't understand why the campaign can't move from persuading SISU to bugger off - followed by becoming a fans group aimed at securing representation at board level etc.
There were some good people at the protest - but also a few people who could barely talk and had some crazy ideas.
One guy said to me "why not get loads of us to get all suited and booted and buy corporate hospitality packages so that we can intimidate this SISU lot"
Another bloke just kept looking over at the stewards who to be fair left us alone saying "look at those tossers - they'd better not start anything".
My point being that there are some idiots out there who don't have the intelligence to think about their actions and just want it to kick off; let alone them having a 'long term vision' for this football club. They do love the club though and their participation is needed.
For this reason SOC needs strong leadership - and you've already earned the fans' respect aswell as Hoffman's and SISU's.
Don't let it go to waste.
This forum should be put to use more. We've got lots of passionate people here with contrasting views - but there are certain things we all agree on and we could all have a big say via this forum.
