If Ashley Carson was totally removed from the club and board, would people be happy to give Dave Allen time to possibly repair some of the damage done?
It would take a bit more IMO.
Carson hands back his shares, and resigns from the board, and publicly birched while naked along the entire length of Sheffield road. When he gets to the roundabout he is tarred and feathered.
DA publicly apologises for the turmoil of the last 3 or 4 years, and takes full responsibility for it all, including the birching, tar and feathers.
The 3 ousted board members are reinstated, and also receive an apology.
DA appoints a proper, proven CEO who is not a former bankrupt and has clean record in any previous ventures.

The former Chief Exec at Sheffield Wednesday quite rightly came in for a lot of stick, but seeing as he did not follow David and Ashley down the bypass and similar problems started to surface here without any input from him, you do start to run out of people to point the finger at.
The gullible people will welcome Ashley taking a backseat from the public arena, but he will still be running things behind the scenes. Ashley is a problem but only an idiot will see him as the problem.

Exactly how was continuing to intimidate a fan after he'd withdrawn and apologised for his spoof e-mail supposed to build any bridges?
How was appointing a former bankrupt associated with a kids charity scandal supposed to build any bridges?
How was rejecting highly qualified applicants for the so-called associate director roles without even interviewing them supposed to build any bridges?
How was appointing two far less qualified candidates on the basis the owner would approve of them and they'd not ask awkward questions supposed to build any bridges?
How was appointing a well known crony after totally bypassing the selection process supposed to build any bridges?
How was >ahem< 'firmly dissuading' an extremely popular supporter from making a peaceful statement supposed to build bridges?
How was Carson sneering at 'BB' members supposed to build any bridges?
And how is appointing yet another former bankrupt and hugely questionable character supposed to build any bridges?
Infact the whole thing looks more like they're taking the pi** rather than building any bridges.
PS: kinda ironic that all this talk of 'building bridges' coincides with the builder sponsoring Town's shirts pulling out because of similar issues...

That'll be the same Dave Allen who's repeatedly blamed the fans whilst accepting no responsibility whatsoever for trashing the Club?
Marcia - if the pigeon fancier had any intention of 'repairing damage' he wouldn't allow yet another former bankrupt with a chequered CV anywhere near his business...

pps also ironic that their idea of building bridges involved threatening a banning order to Paul of the BRIDGE INN.
if I ever discovered that dave and wrong kit were involved in construction, I would think twice about driving over any of their bridges

I'd put it this way, If DA & AC are building bridges, I'd like to check the safety certificate about 10 times before even thinking of stepping foot on it, let alone cross it......Oh and I make sure it got to the other side too.

Yep. Apart from owt else he seems to me like a trespasser into Martin Allen's territory. How long before he sells Charlie Carter to Luton?
I occurs to me that Phil T might know a bit about him.

The fallout (https://www.dailymai...ction-feud.html).
Graham Bean, the Football Association’s former sleazebuster compliance chief, failed yesterday in a disturbing attempt to oust one of the FA's most senior councillors because of a personal dispute.
Barry Taylor, a member of the International Committee who was chairman of the FA Cup group last season, narrowly beat Doncaster Rovers chairman John Ryan 9-8 in the 18-club election for the FA divisional representation for Yorkshire and Derbyshire.
Bean, who now runs the Football Factors agency that represents clubs facing disciplinary charges, made no secret of master-minding Ryan’s campaign against Taylor, which included dirty tricks allegations that he jumped the gun in seeking nominations from clubs.
The football detective’s feud with Taylor escalated when Bean was banned from his local club Barnsley after declaring in the local newspaper that it was a waste of time fighting the FA’s mindblowing decision not to charge Sheffield United’s Chris Morgan after his elbow challenge left Barnsley’s Iain Hulme with a fractured skull.
The Taylor camp expected Bean, who was confidently proclaiming that his chosen candidate had won during the week, to mount an appeal if Ryan lost and this immediately happened with a frivolous objection about a club not voting correctly.

If I have missed anything please or if anything is inaccurate then please update this, not sure if it should have its own thread.
03/01/09- banned by Barnsley FC for comments relating to a local MP and his involvement with the club
02/12/12- accused of cybersquatting during his involvement of the pre pack admin at Northwich Victoria
Jan 2015- was involved in a potential pension fraud
01/12/16 sacked as company secretary at Newport County after 3 weeks and claims he resigned. Might be worth looking at the clubs financial position at this time.
03/11/17-Times story over Mr Beans involvement at Leeds United over the preceding months over asking the FA for payment for him to whistle blow a secret payment scandal at the club.
01/06/18 Appointed Shaw Lane Club Secretary, one week later the club are folded.
12/11/18 represented CFC in FA hearing for Joe Rowley
Mr Bean has also been Director of the following liquidated companies which his linked in page shows they are still running.
Football factors
Fan Plaques
This is just in case any of this was missing off his CV when interviewed by carson and Allen
I would like to congratulate and thank all fans who have taken the time to conduct due diligence on Mr Bean.
Not bad for a bunch of kids, go and have that bottle of beer now.

I've read enough. Let's hope he does a 'Reg's Consortium' and turns round in the car park before he gets through the door or takes his first abusive comment. Our assistant directors need to act promptly, starting tomorrow.

What no one's mentioned yet is that he did Town a huge favour when prosecuting Darren Brown's crookery. Apparently he failed to dot a few i's and cross certain t's meaning we - ie: the Club - got off lighter than we might've. Okay, good news at the time, but it dun't say much for his competence.
Oh, and didn't he represent CFC during the Margreiter episode?
