Agreed and with LP selling most of his remaining shares he is probably out of the picture. I have posted this before but I firmly believe BB and his associates are firmly in charge.

Would have preferred Realists and Optimists myself

Thats a good point.
I accept things as they are and I am not too dissappointed if they donât go according to plan. However, I am optimistic in my opinion on future events until they donât work out and then I am realistic again.
I am never really pessimistic as that is a depressing view to take and without hope where are we? The main problem is when pessimists believe that they are actually realists and criticise anybody who thinks different.
I am a happy person so I just try and avoid pessimists because they try and drag you down.

You sound a good guy to have a pint with .
I beleive that Trivela have good intentions, but I just struggle to work out what their long-term goal is
I just canât see how you can make a significant amount of money out of this club unless you are willing to put a serious amount in. Perhaps they were duped by the âwell-runâ club fable and thought it would be easy to progress with just a little bit extra investment. Maybe they didnât realise they were buying a club that had been dying a slow death for the last 15 years.
The only motivation I can think is that by demonstrating they can do a good job here they will have a basis to add more clubs to their portfolio?

Very possible. Itâs the first thing a lot of people who think they know a bit about lower league football would have said about Walsall. Even if Trivela had looked for what they thought was an independent opinion of the club, itâs likely that the person claiming to be in the know had also swallowed the myth. Clever PR from Bonser, both the phrase itself and getting it so well circulated.

Pomlett sourced Trivela. Not Bonser
Plenty to suggest Paul Taylor âsourcedâ Trivela. If so, heâs very much a Bonser man.

Donât know why you bother. Itâs obvious the clown hadnât read my reply before he started trying to stir it. But what is interesting is that such a supposedly loyal, longstanding fan doesnât know that Bonser originated the phrase and got it in general circulation. Or it would be interesting if he were a fan, rather than a trollâs creation .

I thought he was off to watch Rushall this coming season anywayâŚ
He was going to but they havenât changed their kit enough from last season.

Either for selling the club later, or by pushing the club higher. Or they really want to create a network of clubs, similar to what was created around Man City, but maybe on a lesser scale. Still, one club must be leading. And a serious amount of money? How much did DS get, when he nearly won promotion to the Championship? Money really talks in the first two leagues, before you can compensate for it by youth players, scouting ,medical support and some tactical support. In short, by better decisions.
I believe they have already âbought inâ to the way our failed regime have done things over the last few years of âdying a slow deathâ. Nothing has really changed at all, same Board, same 70âs approach, same old lack of ideas, motivation or nous. Introducing our new Manager from within a regime that was a success at inept failure, to be âthe best possible optionâ, by god he is going to need to be bloomin good to impress alright!
Come on Trivela show us something different, other than âtalkâ.
We need some âreallyâ good signings (eventually), we need improvements to the stadium, we need new ideas in presentation, commitment to the football teamâŚlets drag ourselves into the 80âs at least!
Iâm shocked you would be so pessimistic.
Shocked I tell ya. 
To be honest, i dont have much confidence in them - not because I feel they are here for the âasset stripping exerciseâ thats been banded about.
I just feel its all Pie in the Sky with them. Big talk, little back the majority of it up. Giving titles such as âGlobal thisâ and âGlobal thatâ out when their portfolio consists of a single L2 club that 95% of the time is submerged by piss from the toilets. Hardly impressive is it?
I think BB knows as little, if not less (if thats possible) as Dame Pomfritte - hence the âmentoringâ. Granted, BB doesnt seem to have the ability to spout his mouth and drop the regular verbal clanger, but frankly, it worries me.
Not even gonna mention Mole and Gamble - deadwood that shouldve been out on their arse a while back.
I dont begrudge anyone having a dream about growing their business/portfolio etc but after the last decade in particular - we dont need more cluelessness and jeopardy of our FL status.
All that being said - of course I want BB and Trivela to succeed. I just hope a serious plan is implemented, they can actually regain touch with reality and appoint the right people.

They have obviously impressed you sooo much with all the changes, hard to keep up.
Trivela have been busy since the last poll thought i would start a new poll to compare to see what general feeling is now.
