Theres no narrative from my side.

Just go back and see the tone of your initial post - its not neutral is it? Your obviously trying to stoke a response.

Its not the time for that. Still hurting. I must have had 15/20 messages from mates and family- ive ignored them all - answered with a “not yet”.

Ive said whenever we have exchanged previously, i was a member of ISSA for a while and you do really good things for the town and help for the supporters. But creating adversary with the club will do you or us or the club no favours.

Unfortunately. When you head up a group which has 1600 members. You are always going to be having to ask things that Club don’t want to hear Or. Other fans don’t want to hear

But Wether I agree with them or not they still have to be asked otherwise we are not representing them. Correctly If we only cherry picked. The Let’s say. Ones less likely to upset

In this case this is my own post. And yes I do believe after having many interactions with said co chairman . That my experience tells me. He will be dead set against it happening As he. Does not like them taking place whatsoever

I’m hurting as much as you and any other fan. And. Now is not the time. For any one to hide
The whole fanbase at. this time. Need the hierarchy of the club. To explain what’s gone on and. Inform fans. Of how they intend. To move on from it

Same as you. Both myself and Issa Are inundated. With texts e mails Etc. but. Because we are all down. We can’t ignore. We still have to respond. As they are from. A very disgruntled. Fan base , every social media site in relation to Walsall fc. Is full of angry fans and they have every right to be so

The trust put out an excellent. Letter to the club yesterday. Written in a. Far better way then I ever could And I congratulate them on it , but trust me a certain person will be absolutely seething. When it lands on his desk this morning

I’ve no wish to argue with you pal As I’m hurting as much as you But I also won’t blow smoke up there backsides.

I’ll praise and. De cry in equal measures. When it’s due And I’ll leave you with one thought. They never have a problem with Issa. Or any Issa representative if they are up. There making a donation Ask yourself why

Good news!

Carry on DH mate, I’m not a member of Issa but appreciate everything you do as a supporter group especially in the community, in my opinion you ask awkward questions that most fans want asking and I truly believe you all have the best interests of our club at heart, we are all desperate for some kind of success especially for the younger future supporters, so keep going mate we need fans and groups like Issa to constantly remind the suits that it’s our club not theirs.:+1:

Me neither. Im generally a positive fan. until its untenable. I, like you, think there needs to be answers - its a historic collapse. I dont think its ever been seen before in english football. We need to know why THEY think it happened?; Why could MS or the management team not arrest the slide in 19 odd games? Why does MS deserve to continue in post? Why will 25/26 be different?

Youve put way more time into this team than me (1996) - but at least we got to see some years in the championship - any fan 18 or under deserves a medal.

I’ve never been to a fans forum but follow them online where possible. Do they filter questions from fans or avoid answering akward ones?

I have never been but I won’t miss the next one!

Sleep walking in to non league remains relevant

Huge financial losses

Poor contract choices,3 years on a poor
manager, 2 years for inadequate players like Gordon and Comley etc

Poor recruitment Levi and the loanees - youngsters or rough diamonds

Bigger names than us and clubs close to us in size have got stuck in the spiral

No doubt that this view will be shouted down by the same people who couldn’t see how we wouldn’t get promoted at Christmas.

I’m not saying we go down next season. I’m saying we stagnate here long enough we are as capable of 3 wins 20 as we are of 9 in a row you are dragged in to it

This Trivela ain’t got a clue.

They’ve took the piss out of ISSA talking to Danish fan groups but not us. How great would it be if we got 3/4000 plus Issa members signed up as a mandate for communication.

Somehow as fans we have to filter our questions before the forum. It’s an old cliche about the forums but there is always questions about car park access and why don’t we leave one man up from corners. Just wastes precious time. Some organised meaty, direct questions should be asked.

Thats why I think we should get 5 or 6 questions together, maybe pre-submit them and get real answers

Conceded a carbon copy of so many other goals on Monday from having too many bodies in the box. So I do actually think that question holds some actual weight this season to be fair :joy:

It’s a calamity, nobody clear in who’s gonna get rid of it, the ball ricocheting of our own men because we are all in each others way. And then eventually a shot from outside the box smashing in directly or from a deflection!

Agreed on the questions asked though. Well thought out executed questions will go a lot further than 10 minute rants. Who’s the most eloquent on here to be spokesman/spokeswoman :joy:

I think sending in ISSA on our behalf would be way way better

No talking about chips or traffic lights

Swell the memberships, give them a mandate for dialogue

At the moment you’ve got the NoFo pair Brian and Brenda making statements. Madness.

I’m not convinced that would be a good thing necessarily, gives them time to plan and prepare their answers and move on. If this were to be the case at least I think there should be room for some debate on each question so they can be challenged on their responses and an opportunity for the floor to express their opinions, a bit like Question Time.

It will be like herding a load of sheep on speed to agree on a set of questions on here! But it does need that. 5 or 6 of the most eloquent of us armed with the same 5 or 6 questions placed evenly around the room so hopefully most get asked..

You know that the club won’t formally talk to ISSA so why you suggest that I don’t know but there is no reason why people who are members of ISSA can’t ask questions at a meeting.

Dh is an amazing advocate for the club.

Well they spoke to the Danish fan group …

So why wouldn’t they speak to ours ?

Power of many is greater than the voice of 1.
