DM> To all there last night for showing all new investors/ potential buyers of the Cardiff Devils the baggage that comes with the franchise.
G> Why would we eed new investors - we have REPUTABLE ones of our own.
DM> If that was a well chaired meeting I don't want to attend a badly chaired one. It turned into an inquisition.
I wasn't there (I live in London so can't make midweek meetings) but: WHAT DID YOU EXPECT! That was the first time BC and GS have made themselves open to question to al except 6 people. We've been screwed by BP and BC and we want answers.
DM> 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.
G> How incompetent is that??? If he didn't know (which beggars belief!) surely a call up to the office to say "Who does he make this payable to" would suffice
DM> 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.
G> Wasn't there - can't comment.
DM> 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.
G> Mourn? Not when you have a strong belief in what we're doing being right AND a viable alternative lined up you don't.
DM> 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.
G> Progress will only be achieved when you guys wake up and realise that the Devils will not be a viable proposition in your hands.
DM> 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
G> We have backers lined up that we know and trust. Why do we need anyone else?
DM> Not surprised you have no business plan just gut feelings and that will get you nowhere.
G> Candy is the one who publically admits having no business plan. Even if as he claims he had a "top level only" plan then it was obviously completely unrealistic.
DM> Believe what you want to believe it is getting you isolated and you are hurting more people than you help.
G> Isolated. There are 2000 fans who've voted with their feet. I hardly call that isolated!
