Martin Deaner

[Guest]

Rebel Yell + Rouser there is no point in badmouthing/ shouting at other posters. Most people do not understand that Deaner has played a psychological and political game for years – both rejecting approaches for the club and then threatening to pull out.

 

The fact remains that a sizeable number of Slough fans will not return while he is at the club. Also some potential benefactors will not stump up because of Deaner strings attached.

 

There is also no point in those who have, in their view, 'stuck by the club', saying "Where would we be now if not for Deaner?"

 

Who knows. If Deaner had stomped off 4 to 5 years ago when he started this cycle of threats to pull out the club might be very better off.

 

My bet goes for better off.

Well if recent reports are true Rouser & Rebel Yell and he has resigned, why not put your money where your mouth is and re-establish your bid for the club.

Listen PRICK! I and two associates approached Deaner 18 months ago, and point blank he refused to talk to us, was not in least interested in any offers, so rousers not the prick u are! U will accept second best for the rest of your lives.

So how do you think is the best way to go about gaining control if you were serious? Personally, I'd suggest that the best way to secure control from Deaner would be to publicly state your offer and outline your objectives for the Club and get the fans on your side. Instead, you seem to prefer the approach of calling supporters "pricks" on a web-based forum.

I hardly think having somebody like that in charge constitutes progress.

Hey Rouser,

 

If you want to call me a prick, fine, you are entitled to your opinion, but as least have the balls to register, so we know who's abusing us.

 

And if you and these associates have all this cash that you can afford to throw in, great, although I think so far your PR adviser needs to have a word in your ear that abusing the fans and rubbishing the club may not a good place to start. Won't look too good in the local paper.

 

So where can you start? Well we have a Supporters Trust set up and if Mr Deaner is walking away as the reports suggest, it will be in need of a large cash injection, so shall we say £50K for starters, just to show you really mean it? If you are the man of the wealth which you and your "two associates" say, it should be nothing. Who are they, Hale and Pace?

 

So put up or shut up. I suspect that you're just another worthless windbag just on here to wind people up, but for the sake of the club am prepared to be surprised.

 

Chris Sliski, expect a call (NOT!) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laughuncontrollable.gif" alt="" />

Firstly, Its not Rouser who was interested in becoming a backer of the club, its me Yell. Secondly the abuse started at Rouser for his comments about Deaner, rightly or wrongly his opinions matter, as much as Deaners followers! Thirdly why oh why would ring a guy called Sliski about backing STFC? Dont I need to talk to present incumbent? Deaner? Frankly if u had any background about STFC u would find financially and commercially it is a MESS! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/whistling.gif" alt="" />

OK - same response! Secondly, I did say he was entitled to his opinion as I am. Thirdly, I would not classify myself as a Deaner supporter as I have been keeping as close a track on the guy as I can, but in the absence of any REAL alternative.....


Fourthly, if you don't know who Chris Sliski is, what hope have you got as far as the club is concerned. He is the Secretary of the Supporter Trust, as you clearly don't know. There is a Supporters Trust - so you can show if you REALLY are interested in the club, by making a contribution to the organisation which is really interested in supporting STFC and has been putting its money where its mouth is.

Fifthly, why would anybody believe just another anonymous poster?

And you don't need to lecture me on the state of the club finances - I have all the declared accounts for FRUS limited and posted the degree of debt it was in.

If you really supported the club, now's your chance to show it. As if you dare!

Don't insult people's intelligence and make yourself look foolish at the same time. There are many people who understand the complete situation about STFC, FRUS, Mayfair Communications and all other parties involved, including W&E.

Is it a mess? Yes, it is in as much as we don't have a ground and have slipped down the non-league pyramid. However, we do have somebody paying the wages and right now, the only people I see challenging that are anonymous posters who won't declare who they are or what their intentions might be. Don't you think that cloak and dagger approach smacks of exactly what people criticise Deaner for? If anyone was really interested in backing the club and had the intelligence to realise who the key stakeholders were and how they can be influenced then they wouldn't be posting abuse on a web forum. Or do you think that is the right way to go about it?

[PJ-STFC]

Hmmm...

Eighteen months ago? If I remember my recent history correctly, wasn't that just before the time when a certain development favourable to the future of STFC, in the vicinity of a certain football ground to the north of Slough, was kicked into touch by the Borough Council in favour of a Sikh School?

 

 

I'm sure that if a genuine approach was made for STFC, MD would be more than happy to relieve himself of the burden.

Remember before the season started when as usual we did not know what league we would start in, if it was not for Martin Deaner then it was going to be plan B and that was the Hellinic League playing the likes of Holyport Chalfont Wasps and Chinnor in other words park football, now that would have been the death of Slough Town FC, some supporters should remember that!!!!

[Guest]

U have missed the point, Why do i need to phone Sliski re: Backing STFC? Doesn't he run the supporters club? What the hell has that got to do with controlling STFC, please explain? Does STSC run STFC? then the club must be in a mess? Deaner is all [****!!****], when u sit him down and wanna talk hard facts about STFC, wouldn't u think that IF and its a big IF someone wanted to take it of his hands, IF its costing him all that money that he suggests,........ He would give it away? But it goes deeper than that. Dare I suggest he has ulterior motives? We are all in business to make money, but some are in it asset strip, and feather their nest with future developments!to the detriment of a well established senior ( just ) non-league club, who once a force, sadly no longer...............Just to give u a clue, how come 60% of clubs in your league survive on much lower gates, and are financially sound? I rest my case.

[BFR]

60% of those clubs actually have assets to strip - if Deaner was in this for stripping Slough Town of assets then he got himself a White Elephant as the club doesn't have any. I've little doubt that MD came into the club to try to make a buck but how could he do a Khosla-esque asset strip when there isn't even a stadium we can call our own for him to sell off?

The fact that you make a post which says 'clubs in your league' gives away the fact that you have little interest in Slough Town and are [censored]-stirring for your own inane amusement.

[GarySTFC]

Well Rouser, the chance is there. Make your enquiry public - I'm sure Gary Chappell would be very accomodating in publishing a good story on your bid for the club with as much/little detail as you require.

 

Slagging off the existing fan base though is hardly going to win their support as has already been stated.

 

Read back through the old postings and you'll see I'm anti-Deaner, but still go along to support my side, and will remain to do so as long as Slough Town FC exists. Difference is, I'll be trying to support the club in whichever way I can, whilst you'll quite happily hide behind anonymity, talking the talk but never being able to back it up.

 

You've given it big on here, but do you have the balls to back it up? I've yet to see any proof you can. Prove me wrong.

[Ian]

You beat me to it, BFR. The phrase "your league" suggests no allegiance at all to Slough Town Football Club. Why would you want to talk to Chris Sliski? It's called stakeholder management and if you haven't got the business sense to understand that I suggest you couldn't run an egg and spoon race let alone a football club.

 

I suggest, Rouser, you either have the courage to post under a real name or take your little games elsewhere. Until you prove otherwise, I'm assuming you're just another timewaster like Janik (or you could even be our illustrious Councillor) with nothing better to do with your time other than post nonsense on here. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />

[Roger Rebel]

What the f*** as this got to do with football.

[Barry Scott]

no idea, just some tw*ts talking about stuff they obviously have no idea a bout. There's two words for you Rouser, and the second one is 'off'

[Burnham Lad]

Hey Rouser (or Yell)

 

You are obviously a Schizo and can't remember in which personality you posted last. Read the last posts in both names.

 

Maybe your condition is preying heavily on your mind which does mean that both of you may be unable to understand simple things, because you both sure seem out of touch with what has been happening!

 

1. Read carefully.... Chris Sliski is secretary of the Supporters Trust.

 

2. The Supporters Trust is NOT the Supporters Club any more - it is a Legal Trust, drawn up properly in exactly the same way as any other Supporters Trust, just like AFC Wimbledon, who now run their own club.

 

3. Basically the idea of a Trust is that they work hard to raise cash so that ultimately they can run their clubs for the benefit of the team and the people who actually care about the club and not "Fly by night" business men such as you claim to be, who may (or probably don't) have the money.

 

4. If you care as much about STFC as you are trying to pretend, then if you give the money to the Trust, the members are able to apply it for the benefit of the club itself.

 

5. So - you can prove to the Fans that you are are in it for the club and not for some private power kick of your own, by giving the Trust the money!

 

6. Instead of accusing Mr Deaner of ulterior motives, why not tell us what yours are? It doesn't look like its for the love of Slough Town that's for sure. (Other folks have spotted your use of your and your total ignorance of what has happened at the club.)It wouldn't be - never - just a wind up?

 

7. It could be argued that Mr Deaner's ulterior motive left when he did not get his new ground plan approved. What makes you think you can do any better and why should we believe both of you?

 

8. You don't mention how those 60% of clubs remain solvent - we've had the Cheshunt guy on here boasting about how much money his new Chairman can put in - that may give you a clue how clubs with low gates survive. But there is a new way - through the Trusts.

 

9. As I said before, give the Trust £50K, put your money were your mouth is, and you may get a hearing, but understand - Trusts are being set up because Fans are p*ssed off with being in thrall to here today and gone tomorrow "businessmen" looking to get themselves off on a kick of pretending to own a football club.

 

You may be better going and buying MU shares then you can really pretend to be somebody. Actually I was right in what I said before - worthless windbags both of you <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laughuncontrollable.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laughuncontrollable.gif" alt="" />
