don't know... but isn't this site about "Meet the Mowners" at least we have access to them every day.
I'll be honest, not got any questions for the owners, they are doing a sterling job. I'm concerned with the chairman, Mr Blunt who is running the football club and what he should be doing?

How do you know is isn't any of those things?Plus, I'm not sure being passionate, other than the enthusiasm required to perform any job, is a necessity. Blunt is no JR and why should he be? I wouldn't want him to be something he isn't. He doesn't crave the limelight at any time, neither when we're up nor when we're down. The press don't seek him out for interviews either.The policy of the board is to let the football people do the talking and let the CEO have the responsibility to run the club day to day. Just because we don't hear from him, other than at the meet the owners, doesn't mean he's doing a crap job.
And therein lies the problem for many of the board dissenters. They aren't JR. People got very used to the public figure, constant confidence and lots of information that John Ryan brought as Chairman.The reality is that most football chairmen are not like JR in this way, and that's no bad thing.Johnny Rovers, nor anyone else who criticises the board that I can see, has any idea how David Blunt performs his job, nor Gavin Baldwin or Terry Bramall, Andy Watson or anyone else in a position of power at DRFC. Yet these fans see fit to say that they aren't doing a good job or don't care enough because we don't make lots of great signings or thrash every team we play.

Signing the players the manager wants with the funds available. Be passionate about the job he has to do and to do it to the best of his ability.
This forum's main topic of conversation these days is about super fans calling ordinary fans fickle. What I call fickle is the number of super fans who worship those who run the club right up to the minute they leave, after which they tear to shreds!

Is that your definition or one generally accepted? I think your sarcasm is unwarranted and divisive.
Blunt not interested in football. horse racing only
Questioning folks’ opinions - or more accurately questioning the reasoning behind their opinions - isn’t telling them how to be a proper supporter..
And there is a difference between reasonable questioning and posters claiming as facts that the owners/board aren’t spending (or able to spend) etc.. or posting “sack the board” after a close defeat against a very in form team.
