    Ben Kensall

    By and large disappeared from public/media view. In charge for a year now and has presided over a downwards trajectory, players being signed by mistake, club partners/sponsorships who go bust or are questionable from the off (NFT) and todays latest shambles.

    Surely his position must be in question?

    He's not very good at it then since everything you read about him makes it clear he is widely hated.

    He talks the talk but has presided over mistake after mistake.

    A big let down.

    We have got a marketing man as CEO, who is completely out of his depth. A head of recruitment whose only discernible qualification is who his father is. Some people think we don't have problems - wow. We have people running this club who should be no where near any football organisation.

    We need someone like Raymond Sparks or Pat Nevin.

    Shouldn’t be in a football role.

    Fair enough having him here for corporate stuff which seems to be his thing and by all accounts he’s done decent with. But he shouldn’t be anywhere near a football role.

    I said last season he has just disappeared while we move from disaster to disaster … said at time I found it a bit weird he wasn’t at the sponsors evening at end of season … he obviously can’t handle a bit of pressure from the fans

    He's good at that.

    I got pelters for posting on here that he had been telling fans at an event that Maloney would be sacked if we lost the semi. No way would he be doing that etc etc.

    Lo and behold.....

    I wasn’t there so can’t comment on what he did or didn’t say… others on here were and may want to chime in, but perhaps you can elaborate on what exactly he bull ****ted?

    If that’s true (and I don’t doubt you) that’s cataclysmicly unprofessional.

    Screams of unprofessionalism and an insight into how our club is currently run.

    I have no confidence in those who run our club.

    A cross between Del Boy and Swiss Toni (minus the coiffured locks).

    I’d actually trust Swiss running the club more than I would him 😂

    Said it before. I get dodgy car salesman vibes from him.

    Likes the sound of his own voice when he’s selling you a car, nowhere to be seen when it breaks down

    And I bet he himself drives a black Ford Fiesta ST with blacked out windows, still stays with his parents, and can easily manage a 12 minutes sesh down at Tan Canaria.

    Time for the jokers to go.

    Has he not been involved in at least 2 fan Q&A’s and a fans zoom call in the last month?

    How come we are so quick to fire managers, yet this clown is still in a job? He's over seeing it all, get him and Ian Gordon out and replace them with football guys that know what they're doing and we will see results. The club is becoming a laughing stock now. At this rate I can see protests outside the west again before Christmas.

    Protests seem like the only way change will happen sadly.
