    Another baffling over reaction. When the team is out on the pitch we are all behind the those in claret and amber, whatever we think of how the Club is run. Have we so many fans that we can afford to jettison a significant number just because they have a different opinion? I don't think so.

    "People like him"?! Do please get a grip and understand that others may have a different view to yours. Because they do see things differently to you is not an excuse to try to "get them out".

    How do we know they haven't voiced their concerns with the man himself Dennis? Like lots of stuff around the Club, we don't know.

    Trying to smooth over troubled waters is not one of Edin’s strengths, he obviously has not heard the old adage ‘better to have the bastards pissing out from inside the tent, than outside pissing in’

    I assume it's still ok to wear my Naughty Boys badge when I'm next at Valley Parade?

    The truth of Bronco’s initial post is irrelevant.

    The intention was to spread discontent amongst supporters and anger towards our owners.

    If we are to recover from our abysmal end to last season everyone needs to work together and support the club and our owners. What alternative is there really ?

    That's quite possible and if they've raised issues and don't like how they are being dealt with then they always have the ultimate option of leaving their ambassadorial role with the club. But continuing to diss the club anonymously, or worse through a BT proxy, isn't the right way to deal with it. By staying in their ambassadorial roles, they are complicit in what the club is doing.

    If all we ever allowed on here were facts, it would be a quiet place. Even "facts" are disputed on here Jam, just the way I like it.
    Like it or not and believe him or not, Roger's confirmation of Bronco's story lends it substance and credibility. I would certainly not characterize it as "an unsubstatiated rumour", as you suggest.

    Or as Sun Tzu, Machiavelli or even Michael Corleone (depending on your particular source) might have said ..

    Yes, I did think of quoting that as well, but I thought my quote was more accurate:cool:

    Absolutely - and the general mood on here based on the replies is exactly that.

    Bronco is becoming poisonous which is a shame.

    I can see that Dennis and I sympathise with that take on things. If however, I put myself in the shoes of an Ambassador who sees that things within the Club are (in their opinion) wrong, what would I do?
    We all care deeply about City and that is undoubtedly true for Ambassadors too. I can imagine a situation where frustration and / or anger gets the better of them and they feel that a radical approach is required. They may feel they can do more "good" from within being closer to the levers of power.
    Of course this may all be boll@ck4 and everyone is barking up the wrong tree.

    I find him a very balanced writer. He isn't afraid to have a pop at Edin when he feels it is just but he also has the intelligence to realise Edin isn't the anti-christ.

    Probably just trying to disguise the smell from the shit the others in there are being fed.
