Few things from tonight:
The board acknowledged the strength of feeling around Hill’s comments about supporters after games. They are also encouraging him to be more open with fans.
They have confidence in the manager.
Season ticket prices won’t be increased next year. |  |

Clough has gone back to Forest as they presumed we were aware. We weren’t but at the same time mention was made about communication improving. [Post edited 14 Jan 2019 21:17]

Is his return due to persistent injury ? |  |

Cheers for the updates.
Have we hired the Town Hall and carriages for the end of season celebration? |  |

Is it still going on? Has anybody asked about the persistent rumours of Hill not being able to form a working relationship with a number of players? |  | | |

Was just reading some comments on the Facebook page. The chairman didn't show, it was the 'expected Bottomley whitewash" Comments include "Keith Hill runs the club", " has all the directors by the balls" "the ones that weren't behind Hill like Dunphy got the boot".
Be interesting to hear the views of some posters on here to strike a balance. [Post edited 14 Jan 2019 20:43]

The chairman didn't show and Bottomley ran it? You just could not make it up. | |

Frances answered that: they accepted they made mistakes (not that it was reflected in the statement on the OS at the time).
Looking to do a seperate event for 50th anniversary of promotion this year (though they mentioned that as a reason for last year’s event and my head started to hurt)
They’ve not made a decision about end of season awards do this year but will talk to the Trust (like last year). | |

The chairman was there, he didn’t inspire me with much confidence though. Was asked about his long term aim here and said he wasn’t sure he would still be here in 12 months time. He looked to Bottomly about everything he was asked. Something didn’t seem quite right with him. |  | | |

A question was asked about Sam Harts loan deal being cut short. Also about the rumours of a bust up, they were just skirted around and not really answered properly. | | | |

The chairman was there and answered some questions as did some other members of the board.
Some of the board members didn't say a word. | |

It’s finished.
Do you know anywhere for a training ground?

Few moans about player recruitment, bit about training facilities. Main question which caused a bit of fuss was about hilly getting 10% of sales. They refused to talk about contracts. David Bottomley spoke most. New chairman hardly said owt and looked very much like the proverbial rabbit in the headlights. Still, they've backed Hill... He's going nowhere. And season tickets will remain the same price next season. |  |

For what it's worth, my understanding of the Sam Hart situation is that attempts were made to make the deal last until the end of the season, but Blackburn had previously been paying 80% of his wages,
For the deal to continue, Blackburn wanted Dale to pay his whole salary, which the club declined to do.
Deal over, Sam Hart returned. His salary was out of our league, quite literally..... | |

I've just read that John Smallwood has now rejoined the board. Not sure what to read into that. | | | |

They also mentioned they want to get Zach Clough back again on loan, fans wanted to know if he was now fit. They said he was, we shall see. The argument from fans was that he wasn’t being played even when he was fit, but we rarely ever know about injuries etc. anyway. | | | |

When did they say all that? And where was Hart before the loan expired? | |

It was also confirmed that the amount of Cloughs wages paid by ourselves was negligible | |

I'm not implying it was anything to do with the Forum. I was told 2 weeks ago, that that was the situation.
For the loan to continue beyond the original period, the terms were laid out and Dale weren't in a position (or wouldn't agree) to pay the wages.... | |

He was at the top table.
Sure it will be communicated as there was a commitment towards making that better. Expect that we’ll hear about that Randall chap from Liverpool too.

Facts are he wasn’t in the squad before he went back. | |
