    That's why throwing figures like 95% about is dangerous. Petrie will tear that to shreds and simply ask for proof and then plans of what the 95% want.

    What a waste of two minutes of my life reading that absolute non statement. My club is an effing joke.

    Absolutely.

    The fans group(s) have to be smart and not play into Rods hands.

    So we've heard the club's side of the story. Just need to hear from the four now to get a balanced view on what took place.
    This is how it feels

    Interesting. Quite deliberately a divide and rule objective from this press release in my opinion. As many will think the club should be given time particularly with the new appointment.

    However, she will be merely an employee. One appointed by the owner and indeed the chairman.

    Supporters are right to expect resignations. I'm glad tomorrow is proceeding as planned. The pressure needs to be cranked up.

    This 100%. Get him to f*** now. The plan is for you to eff off and let Leeann get on with restructuring OUR club and moving us forward.

    At the meeting, it was repeated that the Board fully understands the level of supporter anger and frustration, has recognised for some months the imperative for change.
    heard it before several times, nothing has changed.

    Don't see the problem with it to be honest. He must have a lot of knowledge about the club - why not hang around to help Ms Dempster to settle in? If there's any whiff that he's interfering in her decisions fair enough - but why assume that? She seems a strong individual to me.

    People were moaning about the secrecy of the meetings. The club publish a quick recap. People moan about the club statement.

    This is becoming ludicrous.

    Yup clearly the first thing in statement is this as it shows it up as being horlicks as there was no opportunity (or attempt) to get such a mandate.

    It can clearly be seen from the way this is written that tomorrow will be a press conference to start a get Petrie out campaign .......

    The trouble is this group only want Petrie out, they have no plan themselves, it's they that are the joke.

    Embarrassing!

    Nearly as ludicrous as being relegated and being a complete shambles top to bottom.

    How do you know they don't have a plan?

    Why is our club so reliant on one man?

    Just find it amazig the the **** doesnt seem to stick with Rod.

    If you look back over the years, how many statements has he had to release apologising for something at the club. Anymore than once is enough......he really cant see it.

    We need him out and if no for us now but for the future Chairman/woman/owner/CEO to fully understand that us as a fanbase will no longer tolerate crap

    The plan is to get Petrie out, so Leann can get on with the job without Toxic Rod leaning over her shoulder.

    You've had this explained to you over and over again.

    3 days of "we need a statement". We've got a statement and now everyone is moaning about it.

    Moaning for moaning's sake is going to put things right is it?

    Because it's what he does and has been doing for years is maybe a good indicator of that?

    from the the club website

    "The group was asked to outline their own proposals and plans for change. They declined, and instead made only one demand, which was for the resignation of Chairman Rod Petrie."

    joke....! No proposals no plan just get rid of Petrie.......jeez!

    doesn't sound like they've got much of a plan like 'timewilltell' suggested

    Agreed. But I suspect they will wait for the media attention before they comment.
    I think Petrie was clever enough to show these four that they do not represent the numbers they claim and he will speak with a more representative group.
    Leanne is brought in by Petrie so I don't think she will be kicking him out anytime soon.

    Jeezo did you honestly expect them to show all their cards just because they were asked nicely. The statement says they declined to outline their proposals, not that they don't have any

    I'm not sure what's so hard to understand.

    The plan is to ask Toxic Rod to step away completely.

    And to allow Leann to get on with her job unencumbered by the architect of the Club's downfall interfering.

    Every other Club in the country manages without Rod Petrie, why shouldn't we??
