To clarify - assuming this latest rumour is true, do you think the club want control of AITC so they can cut costs?

What costs?

In 2010, AITC cost the club nothing. In 2011, it cost them £258.

Good to see the Happy Clappers out in force slagging off the new regime again.

 

[timbha]

Without any doubt, and looking back no credible reason was ever given for 2 stalwarts in Steve Ford and Alan Sanders "leaving" an institution that they were instrumental in setting up! If it is about costs, no one person has given more to a club EVER than Dick Knight. He used his own money to save our club,

apologies if you have withdrawn these comments further on but I could read no more. This is absolute rubbish. Why do you think there was no credible reason................................. FOR THEM RESIGNING You clearly have no credible inside information. Think about it!

Nice. Unusual to see one of those without a piano on it.

Thought we'd just got over the latest Tony / Barbour slagging off episode.

Seems we've now got another one.

No reasons were 'given'. That does not mean there were no reasons. A couple of 'incidents' brought things to a head, and they were held ultimately accountable for a 'lack of firm leadership'.

spot on, thank you. Too many people on here fill in the gaps in their knowledge with what they want to believe.

Or have their own agenda

 

[Lindfield by the Pond]

All a bit of a worry. I hope it still actively supported by the club and that this is just a leadership thing.

 

[Albion Dan]

Maybe, just maybe, as a few people on here have said that their experiences with aitc have been very poor, the club have decided its damaging to the image of our whole operation to not shake things up?

We are not a mickey mouse outfit anymore. Alot of people seem to struggle with that concept.

 

[Albion Dan]

Usual suspects mindlessly defending the boards actions again, despite the possibility that it may effect the long-term interests of the fans.

Diego. Its time to just accept your dads been sacked.

Quite possibly.

We will surely see. An acid test will be if the many thousands who use the services, very happily currently, still feel that way in say 6 months time

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Not for the first time. The Club apparently want to take full control of AITC.

and there's me thinking that Dick Knight was part of the club

 

[minnieme]

Gullys Girls didn't get paid & look what happened to them!!!

 

[Icy Gull]

I have no idea what goes on behind the scenes but Bloom pays the piper so I have no problem with him calling the tune. The alternative to him doesn't bear ( or is it bare?) thinking about and this apparent power struggle would pale into insignificance without the good things that Bloom has brought to this club.

So there are a few negatives it seems, but looking at what we've got now I find it hard to criticise the man personally. Just as I went with the flow on all things DK when he was running the show, I'll do the same for Bloom. People who were integral will be moved on if the new man wishes it, that's the way it is in just about all walks of life.

That's not the point of many people's concerns.

Including some people employed by the club who have spent the last few weeks seemingly trying to prove that the amex is twinned with Disneyland.
