    His comments about being relegated are wrong, no one benefits from relegation, its nonsensical. His criticism of the club however has merit, an organisation simply going through the motions.

    As it has been for most of the years both you and I have watched the club, The Richmond's era being the exception, but by saying demand better, be more ambitious means absolutely nothing.

    Remember that Morais asked to be released from his City contract because he was signing for a Scottish club then did the dirty and followed Parky to Bolton !!!

    Without backing it can have hollow connotations. But that doesn't mean you don't use it as your mantra. Christ, just a sprinkling of ambition down at VP wouldn't go amiss, its clear the club need to start being proactive rather than just wait for things to happen.

    Nothing in the Morais rumour the T&A says the only ex player we are interested is Clarke

    Of course it bloody well does. If fans just sit back and don't question how the club is ran then it will operate in a way it can get away with which it has for years.

    We train at a bloody school. Dress it up as much as you want. IT'S A SCHOOL!
    We don't own our ground
    We own nothing and now in div 2.

    Rhodes said he sold the club to Rupp and Edin because they can take the club forward. Rupp had the money and has the money. Rhodes is here and he should be making sure the club is protected.

    Maybe in 1960 football was just about on the pitch but now it's on and off the pitch. Off the pitch matters!

    If you mentality is to buy a bag a chips, kebab and can of coke being happy watch 22 blokes run about then fine. Mine is about winning, improving and seeing the club move forward. McCall will be judged by results and Rupp & Rhodes will be judged by results, improvement and making the right decisions.

    As I said we've seen it the once under Richmond and up to a point under Julian & Mark.
    Ambition comes from the owner, we fans can be as positive (as we are at the start of every season) as we want but the owner making the right appointments, unfortunately we haven't seen much of that recently.
    The club bringing in a manager who they believe will bring the club success I can count on both hands how many that's been over my time watching the club, that doesn't make me less ambitious for my club just more a realist.
    What would you do as a fan to show the club your right behind them other than purchase a season ticket, buy club merchandise and follow our team home and away and give them our vocal support.

    Yep. For that reason McCall will give him a wide berth. Might have accelerated that press release.

    Your misunderstanding mate, its not you that needs to show the ambition. You rightly point out the ambition comes first and foremost from the owner and his management team.

    Is somebody suggesting relegation would be the best thing for BCAFC.

    So whats the point of making those sort of quotes on here, if it was that easy us fans would willingly do what's required to get our club our of this dire league.
    If the figures are correct the last few seasons our player budget as been up there with the best, we all knew Collins was not the right appointment Grayson might have been but he was nobodies fool and saw through Rahic, Hopkin had done a very good job in Scotland but failed here, and we brought Bowyer in I would think because of his time at Blackpool and the turn around he did there, not sure many said at the time of them arriving they were the wrong appointments.

    The managers were irrelevant, no manager could have made it work without leadership from above. And its not necessarily money that is the route of the problem, its lack of direction.

    Were not going to agree on this one mate, I'm not sure how the manager is irrelevant once appointed and given a realist player budget I can't see what more the owner or CEO can do they have provided the money that in itself suggests they want success.
    But that was not the comment he was making he was saying "we fans lack ambition/desire" and are happy to accept anything the club put before us, hence my reply what more can we do bar purchasing tickets buying club merchandise.

    The proposed wage limit will mean that the manager is all important, Money will not count as much as ability to spot talent and get the most out of the players and have football acumen and managerial ability, The other real skill will be of the chairman's ability to find a good manager and attract them to the club and the bravery to appoint them, Clubs who have chairmen with those abilities are the ones who will be successful

    The fact that manager after manager failed miserably, infact we've had one successful manager in 20 years. Coincidentally the one time we had a plan, albeit a loose one, where to be fair Lawn took the risk of giving Parkinson a very healthy budget for league 2. All available funds went into first team strengthening on the previso that Parkinson brought us success, which he did. This success in turn allowed us to sell on Wells and recoup every penny and a lot more for Lawn and his loan.

    We as fans can't do anymore than buy a ticket and turn up to the show, voice our displeasure or our approval. We investment more than money, we invest our emotional attachment.
