Twelve Months Ago Today

[TwelveAngryMen]

The CAR Paul Cooper walked through the doors at BFC in order to exercise his powers and commence the process of selling the club.

Seems like only yesterday that I was sat at my desk as I am now and I received the call from Paul to come down to the Club where I was introduced to Ben Hatton and Ian Currie and between us we started the task of taking control.

What a feeling that was after everything we'd all been through and what a journey we have all been on since.

Results might have been poor recently but we've come so far - it's incredible really.

And still some people moan!

 

[Big_Flag_Man]

Yes indeed insider, now is the time to show our support for this great club.

 

[clappers]

A year on and TAM still doesn’t start working until after 9am Ruddy lawyers!

 

[hertfordseasider]

Unbelievable how quickly that year has gone. So many changes, all for the better.

 

[Hockaday’s Quiff]

Nice one Tim... must be a very surreal set of feelings for you in particular

 

[TangerineMorph]

It just came up on my Facebook memories. What a day that was!

 

[adamswonkyteeth]

Shame you're not still at the heart of it Tim - think they missed a trick not getting you on board in a full time paid role (which of course you might not have wanted!).

People forget how the club was run for the last 30 years, it's in better shape now without a doubt, results on the field haven't been good but we are now in a better position to progress. Keep the faith!

A great feeling for the supporters indeed but what struck me was also people who aren't interested in football saying what a good thing it was to get rid of that disgusting family.

Correct. Anytime you're fretting over who's playing upfront or whether the defence is up to it, just remind yourself of the most important thing.
We got our club back

 

[Grumpy_no_more]

Looking forward to all the detail in your memoirs, Tim.

 

[Thornton Gaz]

The future is bright the future is TANGERINE many thanks to Tim and the gang. UTMP

Should commemorate the 'Oyston free' day every year.

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

Just shows how much spare time lawyers have on their hands.

 

[SeasideKurt]

I can take losing. What I couldn't handle was acting like a Sunday league outfit off the pitch leading us to look like one on it.

We act like a proper football club and there is a pride being restored. We'll be good next season. It's a learning curve for Ben and Simon. I have faith in the both of them.

 

[hertfordseasider]

I'm just raising a glass to VB for his efforts and his tenacity at hunting the Stains down in court.

To VB

 

[1950`spoolfan]

Whatever else was done we should always remember that without VB the transformation would never have happened though I`m a little disappointed that he took the money and ran without even recompensing those that the odious Oystons had taken to court which would have been peanuts to him in the greater scheme of things.

Why should Val pay fans who the Oyston's ruined?
