Genuine question, why has Paul Conway been the target of abuse when........

There’s 3 other members in the consortium??

Just seems odd why one man has been targeted when there’s others also Involved the running this ship through rocky waters

 

Been the most vocal and involved in the running of the club I suppose.

 

I’d say people in this instance seem to have acted without pausing for thought. Whatever protest needs to be aimed correctly from the outset, only get one chance at a first impression etc.

 

You stick your head up above the parapet and you get shot at.

Particularly if you're a bit of a chubster.

 

Because the first time he acted as CEO, he almost ruined the club. Then the second time, he finished the job.

 

The attacks on one man come over to me like a gang of bullying children in the playground.A proper adult way would be to get all parties involved to get together and have an open meeting with fans or a meeting on facetime where we can all watch it and see whats going off.
To save all insults and name calling I would like to see,
Chien Lee, James Cryne and Steve Houghton questioned about peoples concerns.
Theres been far too many throwaway comments made at the scapegoat,Its time now to get round the table and get the facts from all concerned.

 

What baffles me is that as wealthy business men/woman they will know that the only true way to make a good return on there investment is success on the field, this season has been a total shambles and for the benefit of themselves they need to come out and say that this season they got things massively wrong, managerial appointments, recruitment, fan relations.......it’s been a shocker but trying to drive 1 out of the 4 owners out of the club is going to achieve absolutely nothing at all.......it’s about time the 4 owners, Cryne family and the council finally got things out in the open to end all this speculation!!!

 

I think a lot of it stems from his lies about best transfer window ever. He is the one out of the lot of them that has actually made claims, claims that have been false. The rest have kept quiet.

 

I won't hold my breath!

 

A lie or misguided statement? I’m as mystified as the next man as to our downfall this season when we were in such a good position last season.......a just think a certain section of the fan base have made there mind up it’s all one persons fault and have started a witch Hunt. I’m fortunate enough not to be on FB to see the Conway out group........be good to know how they think things should be run

 

I think most people want them all out and Conway is just a name used to describe them all because it's easier. I have as much hatred for chien Lee, grace hung etc as I do Paul Conway.

I'm not sure if it was misguided because if it was then what was he referring to? Then there was the complete falsity about signing hourihane and many others. I think that's why his name is used more than the others, because he specifically has said and done things but I do think that most people when they mention him actually mean the lot of them.

I haven't got FB either so I've no idea what they think but what I would say is that a fan could run the business just as well as they have without putting any money in but would certainly treat supporters better than they have. I think that refusing to put any money at all in is the worst thing they could have done because even injecting small amounts of money they could argue that fans can't do that but putting none in? I can put none in too and so could you.

 

Think you've raised some good points here. The 'best transfer window ever' comment wasn't helpful, but I'm sure he believed it himself at the time. Also his balls up last summer when acting CEO.. But then you could argue against the other members of the board, as you rightly allude to, and say where are they in all this, and what are they going to do about the mess? Doesn't all rest with Conway, you're right. Think this Conway out fan group have been a bit shortsighted with this one.

 

Chubster

 

You'll notice he wants everyone BUT their Paul to face the fans. They really should make a movie about his man crush

 

The thing is though what did he think he meant by best transfer window ever? It wasn't in terms of money spent, players retained, numbers of players signed. I just don't know what he could possibly have thought that had any honesty about it

 

^^^This^^^. You can hardly blame Billy bean for us signing crocked strikers who’ve not kicked a football for 2 years - that’s down to Conway.

 

Because he's a dishonest loudmouth.

Haven't a clue about the others. Can't remember Chien Lee spouting off in the media about buying other clubs. Can't remember Grace Hung making false statements about Oulare and Iseka's visas. Don't think James Cryne discussed groundsharing as an option.

That's why I hate Paul Conway. I'm not proud of it, but there we are.

 

Yorkshire instinct.
He talks like a snakeoil salesman, he walks like a snakeoil salesman, therefore .......

I agree others are involved but this guy came across as a self-important, calculating pr1ck from day one.

Yorkshire instinct.

 

Honesty? I don't know what he meant, only Paul knows. Don't get me wrong, such a claim is brash, cocky, and has the in-your-face Yanky moneybags about it; it's basically everything we're not. It also makes a mockery of our history, and of past transfer windows when we actually signed good players, didn't let good ones go and - ahem - didn't do anything crazy. But he must have believed it to go into the away end, big balls swingin', and make such a claim? Maybe all his deals fell through. Actually, as I type this, Conners really hasn't helped himself has he
