Other clubs aren’t as lucky and Bury is one of them, it is sad, for the fans: it’s their life. Fans go to work every day to earn their money to go and watch them on Saturday and support their team. We’ve got an owner, love him or hate him, he pays the bills every week. He pays the players, he pays the staff, all the other bills that come in.
He backed us in the summer, we’ve got a healthy squad, so for me he’s doing what an owner should do. I don’t know what more the fans want, he’s done and doing the right thing.
Maybe we’d like our budget to be bigger, but it is what it is. The man’s trying to sell a football club, I respect what he’s given us as we know the situation.
He’s done everything an owner should be doing.

Selective memory comes to mind.
roland apparently has the club up for sale - he hung on to taylor and bowyer - im in the minority but i feared the worst and our transfer window went a lot better than expected.
could it be better of course decent contracts for our decent players BUT if we are up for sale then i will accept us being taking over and then the contracts being sorted.
ROLAND OUT!
Let’s not forget he wasn’t around when Katrien was at her worst or when we had Luzon , Peeters and Fraeye . We all want RD gone but you have to admit we are in the best position we have been in since he bought the club , even if it is all mostly down to Bows , Gallan and JJ.
I can see his point of view even if you don’t agree.
Employ qualified people in all the major backroom positions.
Pay the going rate for under contract players so that:
1, They might consider staying at the club?
Or
2, if they do leave, we receive the maximum transfer value. (And he gets his investment back (and some).
3, Stop posting erratic posts to the club website (with snide remarks towards fans / former employees).
4, Stop employing PR gurus.
Plenty more I'm sure.
But isnt he also saddling the club with his own debt so we could be left in a similar fuck up to the one Stewart Day left Bury in?
But yeah; Bowyer is doing nothing more than keeping the twat happy, he's not stupid!!
It’s what @Chizz thinks and he’s trying to trick us into thinking LB said it despite the fact that LB is currently on a well earned trout fishing break in Huddersfield.
"He's done everything an owner should be doing", is not factually correct.
As I said yesterday, if we're comparing RD to the Bury & ex-Bolton owners, then he rates highly, because he's not a villain and he hasn't tried to close the club down for his own profit.
If you compare RD to many others then he rates very poorly.
It is what is it and I can't see any point in debating the same issues that we have for 5 years.
We all have an opinion on RD and it won't be changing.
To expect Bowyer to say anything else is naïve. Glad to know you were all big and strong and told your bosses what you thought of them. Or maybe you are self employed. You still can't speak your mind to regular clients unless you have many others to take their place.
Bowyer is playing good cop compared to the fans but he wouldn't still be here if he had played it any other way. He definitely wouldn't have got a call from the Douchebag at the 12th hour giving him a better contract, Ot just past 10pm to be precise.
I want a new owner as much as ever, but if Lee and Steve butter him up in the interim then he can be Roland or Mr Duchatelet to them, yet still the Shitweasel and Helmit to the fans.
Don't expect players and coaches staff to see the situation the same as fans.
I thought that was obvious ?
I love what Bowyer is doing on the pitch but he should keep his fucking gob shut about what fans should think of the owner.
Aren't we lucky?
As I’d said on another thread.....if KR would have said this he would have been crucified on here.
