To all there last night for showing all new investors/ potential buyers of the Cardiff Devils the baggage that comes with the franchise.
We knew - but we were not alone last night - phew! you opened some eyes.
I told you it was a chance to be constructive and that the goal posts had moved, the ball was in your court, - how inane do I have to get before you take a hint. But you just trotted out the same old stuff for the TV cameras - threatened legal action - made wild allegations - repeated the Bob hate mantra - refused to believe what representatives of other bodies have seen and accepted beyond reasonable doubt. If that was a well chaired meeting I don't want to attend a badly chaired one.
It turned into an inquisition.
The cheques in the shop incident said it all - the guy serving did not know the new company name so he gave the customer the best service he could and accepted a cheque regardless, in the knowledge that the management would sort it out - he is a human being - he makes mistakes.
I make mistakes - believing that it was possible to have a Forum in a civilised manner where people were allowed to finish was they were saying before the MC butted in with an other allegation. If you don't like what you are hearing you drown it out. Pretty totalitarian - like I said before if you believed in free speech you would allow dissent on your website and you don't - nuff said.
And do you really expect us to give you the names of ex-players who left the city due to intimidation - get real.
You don't know half of what has gone on and that is because you don't want to see - you are stuck in a time warp from which you cannot escape. Life goes on - you mourn and then you start anew not wallow in what might of been.
Am I a slug? Well I have been called a lot of things in my life and I don't care. What I care about is when grown adults behave like kids and fail to progress. There was and is goodwill here- we are not stupid we know what you want - I trot around the city up blind alleys trying to move things on - there ARE people out there with an interest but you don't know who they are - if you did you would have treated the representative of the league and present management with respect but emotion got the better of you I understand that, you are human its just your timing was bad and yes I got it wrong I thought it would be a good time to display that progress was possible the scale was wrong across a table OK across a room you couldn't handle it .
Well been there done that what's next?
Dunno? Not surprised you have no business plan just gut feelings and that will get you nowhere.
Believe what you want to believe it is getting you isolated and you are hurting more people than you help.
Comments welcome.
