Mr Ryan

Well.
I was to say the least horrified at an incident after the game last Saturday.
I always believed in Mr Ryan and was trusting that he was a thoroughly nice man who was a leader for our club.
The story goes like this.
My mate who is disabled through a stroke and I left the ground at 87 minutes to give him time to use the lift to avoid the mad rush. We normally do this I was not a deserter.
Thus we set off from the car park.
I went to the the back of the already long queue and as one does tried to encourage someone to let us in by edging forward as close as possible so they had no choice but to let us in. We all do it don't we?
Well I got too close to a Bentley for the Bentley owners liking and was subjected to a torrent of abuse that included many expletives and orders where to go and suppositions about my parenthood.
I am still shocked.
Some on here wont be shocked as i have seen that some do not like the man. I have never stated wether I was with or against him. But Now
I am Glad he has gone from our FAMILY club.
I do not like the man.

Derubbishdese,
In the past I have always defended the man and even to this day I can forgive him for most of the errors he has made.
But 3 things gives me course for concern:
1. His behaviour in your incident is unacceptable.
2. His determination to keep a person on the board who was deemed to be “not a fit and proper person” because he was a business partner with him.
3. The Barnsley Fiasco was the final straw for me.

Notice I never even mentioned the TO.

Ryan is suffering from what Lord Acton once said

“All power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”

Ryan street cred has gone down hill recently and thats from some people who have worked very closely with him over the years. Ryan thought the supporters would follow him blindly and they didn't perhaps thats the cause of his bad behaviour.

Thanks or your thoughts Alex
I negated to mention that I had no intention of cutting in front of him. I had too much respect to do that to the man. I actually was waving him ahead when the abuse projectiled from his mouth.
Maybe it was a reaction to being just a supporter who had to queue to get out of a car park.
I wonder if he now has to have a season pass to gain entry to the car park and was pipped off at having to pay for it.
I wonder why after 87 minutes he was leaving the ground. he has spoken out against early leavers before.
Who knows why.
I actually, still feel personally hurt by what happened.
Alex, you I firmly believe, are correct. He has thrown his dummy out as he can't get what he wants.
I wonder if he will go back to watching the Manchester clubs now.
Maybe I hope so.

If it makes you feel any better My Ryan had palpitations when he heard my name mentioned in the past when I did something he didn't like.

No one can deny that he saved the club and I will be forever grateful for that and to a certain extent he earned enough brownie points to cover errors that he has made but when Ryan performed the Barnsley Fiasco that pushed it a bit far for me.
Ryan is not a match for Bramall in the boardroom and its procedures and it appears to have frustrated him. Right now the club is in the right hands and we all know it will be hard for the team to survive in this league but mark my words, the vultures, Ryan and his hedge fund mates, are just waiting for the poor performances to stir up trouble for the board.

Ryan ,if he is to be remembered fondly by all, should now support the board and retire with dignity but will he?

We should all be very humble supporters of the Rovers including Ryan.

Peace on earth and good will to all men except the hedge fund group.

Merry Christmas to one and all.
