Kenny has come out with another one of his columns.

Again he’s asking for 20k crowds.

 

This time, he says it can help add 3 million to our budget, for the transfer window.

 

A bit bonkers isn’t it ?

Of course they do if for example fans were pissed off with Ken and season ticket renewals went down 75% how long you think before he changed tack?

 

It wouldn't happen, hardcore will go no matter what

The fans hold all the cards

But they keep making shit hands.

I note that Ken/Lee say we are making a signing and Iles is asked who it is and is like "I don't know ask them".

 

Ken mentions a winding up petition that he has sorted and within an hour Iles has a story up about a winding up petition trying to cast doubt on part of Ken's statement.

 

Iles is so so transparent I don't know why he bothers to pretend. He'd love the ST running the club. Bet thinking about that is his nightly dose of viagra.

is Iles only reporting news as his job? I fail to see how he is trying to bring KA down in any sort of way

For signings he won't report anything. He claims "been asked not to say". 

 

Yet for stuff like a winding up petition he takes Ken's words then immediately rewrites a story full of false concern. Its ridiculously obvious.

Possibly doesn't get any info about the first paragraph due to his actions in the 2nd?

he retweeted a story from the South London whatever the other day about us being knocked back for the Charlton CB.

 

5 Minutes later, he published the article in the BN word for word as if it was his own.

 

The fat Thumb headed cnut couldnt find his arse hole with both hands let alone scoop a story from the club hes one negative article from being banned from.

 

The sooner the club distance that idiot from them the better

Different times, mate and you know that too.

 

Currently there's about 12,000 who'd go come what may.

for the signings, he either doesn't know or can't say as they might not tell him again - it's not as though there's 2 sides of the story when we sign players, he can speculate all day long though if he wants

 

the rest is just opinion pieces and based on info out  in the public domain.  if you take ken on his word regards the business side of the club, you will have no concerns, if you don't, nothing wrong with voicing them

 

I'm pretty certain he'll have been a cunt with heathcotes - if he decides not to pay certain players on time, he'll not be in a hurry to pay catering bills on time either

Agree with this.

 

There’s not a chance in hell 75% wouldn’t renew

 

We’re hardened “turd-polisher” watchers

In the eighties fans deserted the club fairly quickly after the relative success of the seventies .They worked out the cycle fairly quickly & jumped ship (the cylcle being a near twenty year one ie relegation/promotion to the top flight

You have to say the spineless bastards got it about right as it took about another twenty years to get back to the big league

Fans were more cynical then than they are now which is amazing given social media etc.(ignoring the sizable numpty minority)

Simply not going didnt work then & wouldnt work now it just drives the club downwards.

Some fickle fans would always drop out over lack of condiments or other such nonsense though.

It's interesting, back in the day the BEN was the club's main comms channel. They needed them as much as much as the BEN needed the club.

 

Now they can put something out themselves at almost zero cost and reach more people than the BN instantly. The media become more and more marginalised. An irrelevance.

Spot on, thanks to Facebook, twitter, Instagram etc the club can reach hundreds of thousands of people instantly rather than a few thousand (if that) the next day.

 

They've just short of 300k followers on Facebook alone. The BEN has 50k or so

He's still smarting from backing the wrong horse

In the 80s the fans deserted football up and down the country. BWFC going through all 4 divisions in that time didn't help our cause.

Isles clearly doesn't like Ken, seems to be a pattern though, anyone Ken comes into contact with business wise doesn't like him then gets slagged off in his chairman's column. He's worse then a Scouser for always being the victim. Personally I think he's doing a good job in a lot of ways, it's not a bad thing being disliked, must be great when he's being cut throat. Doesn't seem to help when it comes to investment etc. No one lining up, we're not a big draw but slagging people off and spitting your dummy out every 5 minutes isn't going to encourage people to go into business with you.

A nice guy nearly ruined the club

 

An Horrible bastard ( in a business sense) is doing his best to save it. Cutting adrift any hangers on 

 

i know which one i appreciate 

I'm in the minority camp where we like Ken Anderson AND Marc Illes at the same time. I really don't see a conflict.

Illes is just doing his job to be fair to him. And not a job I envy.

He does make the job more difficult for himself though

Imagine being Iles and having to deal with Greasy Ken, haha poor bastard
