    I honestly can’t understand all this negativity towards the new leadership.
    Is it because I’m being naïve - but I don’t think it is.

    The new leadership have ……

    Stepped in and got rid of Paul Conway and his style of leadership.
    Brought in an excellent head coach.
    Brought in some good players.
    Called an open meeting with supporters after some supporters were voicing concerns.

    Honestly - what’s not to like ???
    We can’t tar all the directors with the same brush - as what was used to tar Conway with.

    I’ll be a-maze-d if the maze statement isn’t discussed.
    Let’s try and be fair and see what they have to say.

    It was the hedge fund managers in the Investment Group that dismissed Conway at his planned four year review because of poor profit prospects and decided to switch allegiance to the Parekh/ Cryne side.

    Duff has the potential to do well

    The freebies that were available and the last minute loans have only played a few games. It's a bit early to claim they are "good players". They may be, they may not turn out to be so. Players already on the books such as Thomas, Benson, Kane, Andersen and Collins seem to be providing the impetus. Little or no strengthening of the attack.

    An Engagement Forum a month or so into the season is a standard part of the calendar..

    Your historical track record on competent ownership played out on this board tends to suggest you want to believe in these people's merits rather than the evidence that's presented to you .

    Eventually you get there , looks like your following your normal path .

    Oh well .

    That’s right - I always see the best in people.
    Until proved otherwise.
    Usually a happy chappy.
    Very very rarely hold grudges.
    It’s not a bad place to be in actually - as there is obviously a flip side to being like that - and personally I would dread to be there.

    Anyway Animal - I’m expecting you to be at this ‘do’.
    All being well I’ll be there.
    Mines a pint BTW 👍

    You make it sound like Yorkshire at cricket this season SB lol, saying everything at the fans forum will just get defensively batted away. 😁
    Maybe YCC should sign up messrs Khaledo and Conway and Parekh as stubborn lower order night watchmen batsmen. 👍

    At least Yorkshire CCC spend some brass even though it's settling unfair dismissal claims .

    Thee read the reports of the meeting Acido and tell me I was wrong. Warm words, platitudes mixed with "We can't really disclose that"/"We'll get back to you on that" etc will fall on receptive ears without challenge. Parekh ( with scarf on) and Quay playing them like a fiddle. The audience will laugh in the right places and nod in agreement at the right times. Loko will milk the limelight. A wasted evening apart from the chance to say, "I was there, two metres from Parekh, and he said Hello".
