I am trying to understand the logic why Taimour, Jon and Gary persist in this sniping at every opportunity

I can of course only speak for myself, but I'm incredibly pissed off with the way that the members of KBH have been treated, and the way that certain supporters are intentionally misrepresenting what happened. And yes I include you in that Peter.

We (KBH) took the collective decision that there were problems at the club and that some of those problems could be solved by a group of professional people who had a variety of knowledge and expertise, as well as some money. We were willing to invest that money - along with our time - to try and improve the situation at the club, but the board were obstinate and uncooperative throughout our negotiations, and so they obviously went nowhere.

On a number of occasions during the negotiations there were some saying that we should pull out immediately, because the board were obviously never going to give us the information that we needed to proceed. But the majority decided to continue along the path that we were on, because we genuinely want(ed) to make a difference. None of us want Ks to die, but that is the clear trajectory.

As for constant sniping, my most recent post was in response to FOLEY saying : There is a lot of big mouths in our club but no action seems to be done. I'm afraid that when I see drivel such as that I sometimes feel the need to respond. You and he may well think of me as a big mouth, and that's fine, but you must see that we weren't just sitting on the sidelines sniping - we actively tried to get involved to give our time and money to the club, but we were treated like idiots.

You wonder whether this is personal and for me, it is now. I think that Mark Anderson is in way over his head. He asked me (and you) to "jump off a cliff" in support of a ground scheme that never had any hope of going anywhere, and was already dead when he made that plea. He has neither the knowledge nor the experience to do what he says he is trying to do.

We have a Marketing Director (Yioryos) who is overseeing a club that hasn't given any information on players during pre-season whatsoever, who hasn't posted any words from the manager during pre-season whatsoever, and who hasn't even managed to get the club to retweet a post from a current England international of his sister - who literally scored in the actual World Cup yesterday - in a Ks shirt. That tweet has over 5 million views, was on the lead sport story of the BBC website, and nobody knows that the shirt she is wearing is Kingstonian's.

I am completely convinced that the board's aim now is to gradually use up the money from AFC Wimbledon until such time as it's run out, preferably with their directors' loans repaid, when they'll say "we tried our best" and leave.

The club is dying in front of our eyes, yet you have people on here and on Facebook claiming that they think the board are doing a fine job and always find a way to put down any criticism. I will not apologise for standing up for what I think is right, and pointing out to those people that they are actively supporting the slow death of this club.
