    "Bray Wanderers debacle continues..."

    Article in the Irish Times today:
    Chairman and director seeking to buy troubled Bray Wanderers


    O’Connor writes to shareholders offering to buy them out......
    the debacle at board level continues, if these men get their hands on the club we are doomed, as the previous posters have stated this chairman has run the real genuine supporters from the club already , I had been involved for 30 years until this season as a player, management team, and supporter, these people have no interest in football or Bray Wanderers.

    It is shocking what is going on down there.
    It is about time there was a very public airing of what has gone on over the last few years. It would be good if the mcgettigan group could come out and state why they have pulled out etc and maybe the rest will follow.
    There has been a lot of "murkiness" over the years but it has got a hell of a lot worse recently. There has been 0 follow up to all the allegations about fake invoices etc.

    I am convinced this is going to kill the club it already gets little support from the town and there will be 0 support the way things are going.

    Interesting! Looks like there will be plenty of eyeballing going on. The worry here is if either one of the bids has a big enough block of shares to prevent a takeover either way. A protracted battle could really damage on field issues as all attention is on the respective bids rather than running the club. That on top of sponsors distancing themselves etc. Even if fans row in behind one of the bids the impression is there that the others wont go quietly. Bumpy ride ahead for Bray fans!

    At least we have an alternative and they are "football people" with the club at heart. I hope the business community in Bray will support John Deering.

    I think thats a positive development at least. Club just doesnt have the fan base for a supporter led initiative. No much future for the club I fear if the Carlisle is sold.

    Or maybe start with the general Bray community. Business only get involved when there is something in return.

    I'm not sure that is true really. Even is there is a guesstimate of 400 fans complimented by away support and with the good will of local businesses (and Damien Duff) there is a base for a club. It may not be league challenging income but certainly enough to sustain a club that lives within it's means. There is probably greater potential in Bray Wanderers than in clubs that have come and gone and those that have been mooted to join LoI. You would be surprised what a supporters committee of 10 (if you're lucky) grafters can achieve, and then a general membership. Helps if supporters get on with club owners....

    *maybe you meant a supporter led consortium to buy the club? Ok I can see where sheer numbers could shove an umpopular board aside that may not be possible with Bray. I dont see why supporters could not be part of one of the potential buyers even if it is simply an endorsement from a formal fan's group.

    Doesn't look good there. Hearing differing reports from both sides of the camp and it's not pretty whatsoever. A real mess there. I don't so much fear for the future of the club as fear they may alienate any decent support left with the mess going on.
