To be honest the part that worries me most is not the threats or their source it is the fact that club clearly doesn't have a clue how to deal with things.
It shouldn't be down to a Carson tweet or a churning rumour mill. A representative of the club should be telling it straight. The flashy new information-free website should be an interface between club and fans not a variable flow of information ranging from a cascade to a dribble, dependent on some valve regulated by how damaging the club perceives it to be.
The club creates suspicion by its approach to managing information. Frankly it is so naive it would be far better off relying on the truth, the whole truth and nothing but. You need to be clever to be a liar.
It is remarkable to me that no one at the club seems capable of even anticipating fans' queries about team matters. Don't they think fans will ask what does it say about Tommy Lee if we sign Anyon and he starts talking like first-choice keeper? Can't they guess fans might ask why a goal scoring youngster like Ricky German can't make the bench for a totally goal-free team? AND MORE IMPORTANT if they can't anticipate and negotiate such simple day-to-day concerns how can we expect them to deal with issues like honesty/criminality, finance/bankruptcy, making decisions/remaining mere victims of circumstance.
For all I know Mr Carson et al may be doing their level best, but it dun't look rate good. And when chaos reigns all sort of voices come to the fore. Whether he has intended things to be this way or not, the way the club is comes back to Mr Allen. IMO it's a lot easier to let the genie out of the bottle than to get him back in.
