Request for clarification on points made in GFL Statement
Dear Heather
The supporters have seen the statements from John Berylson and Graham Ferguson Lacey released last week and have had a few days to take them in and discuss them. As fans of Millwall FC it is clear that we must continue to back Mr Berylson, he being the one who has unequivocally proved by his words and actions that the future of the football club is key to his vision of future success at Millwall. As supporters our focus is on football and our prime concern is the health of the football club.
However, Mr Lacey raises some pertinent questions which the supporters (and shareholders alike) would like answered. The fans' support of current board of directors is not unconditional. That support, which to date has been rightly earned by their words and deeds, must continue to be earned by demonstrating the openness and honesty we would expect, albeit without compromising the appropriate confidentiality required.
We don't want to start asking backward-looking 'who said what to whom and when?' and so the questions are..
The way recent events have been played out on a basis of 'it's him or me', appears to have been unhelpful and unconstructive. Given that the choice is between 'him or me' we continue to back Mr Berylson. Not surprisingly, current events, including the resignation of a uniquely long standing Millwall director, are very worrying for Millwall fans, who would appreciate some answers in order to maintain their support for the current regime.
Regards
Millwall Supporters Club
