craig 5,199 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 who can summarise what's going onthere were other resignations if I remember right so what's the beef ? The previous 3 resignations were, in part, because of a perceived conflict of interest that Craig had as he attended a meeting at which those deciding on the SLO could also be in attendance. The SLO role is one that Craig had applied for. Some C1872 Board members felt that he had a conflict, others didn't. They resigned but, I believe, this was only a PART of the reason for resigning. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 It's a sad characteristic of our support that we pick on, castigate and denounce those willing to put themselves forward on behalf of the support. I suppose everyone should know by now that goes with the territory, but it still come as a shock at the levels of vitriol it reaches, especially in Craig's case. It's happened before with the likes of David Edgar and recently with Chris Graham and it will happen again. In Craig's case he became the story, Club1872 with him in it became a target too. Yes he made a mistake or mistakes, but by him resigning he has taken away the stick to beat c1872 with, namely himself. For all his mistakes this act has to be commended. I'm not making a martyr out of him, he did what had to be done for the benefit of not just for himself but for the benefit and the future of the group. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aweebluesoandso 290 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Sorry but anything Craig does is for Craig. I have just seen the rumour he has a job with the club, but i don't retract what i wrote. I don't know what position he's taking up with the club but whatever it is he'll puts bit of steel into our club, he's a fighter and they seem to be in short supply there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC 150 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 We are ever so adept at ripping ourselves to bits. I thought this a fine article: http://www.gersnet.co.uk/index.php/news-category/current-affairs/770-the-club1872-crossroads but then, two comments in, back to square one. It's really sad that our massive fan base can never get together for the good of the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
