Think they take on board and are aware of all persprctives, as posted elsewhere, there was recognition in the statement about fan concerns. This part said a lot:
“The Club and the team have no automatic right to receive your unwavering support and robust feedback when things don’t go well is rightfully part and parcel of football” [Post edited 15 Apr 16:13]

Agreed, and that's recognised
It's not being critical of Cameron Ogden to put forward the additional (not contrary) perspective since the world of football pretty much has the former perspective which might well change as the club becomes more community-focused |  |

Just to point out the Ogdens didn’t LEND us £300000 that was an initial cash investment to get us to the end of the season. They then spend £2 million in shares, which they then placed into a trust for the fans.
They have probably committed to invest several more million as well.
To me that shows the tone of the statement is sincere. They merely stated from the first point they got involved there was an immediate investment needed. No bragging how much was spent or no tone of we know better. Just a statement of how far the club has come, but with an acceptance there are things still wrong and a long way to go. It is going to take time
There is also an acknowledgment of the fans criticism on the playing side, with a measured response.
I can’t remember another board making a statement like that. I think it should be taken in no other way than the spirit it was meant.
I also think it speaks volumes it’s come from the Ogdens and not Simon Gauge. [Post edited 17 Apr 17:28]

Gauge knows the fans have little respect for him any more. What he says is now scoffed at and carries little weight. It's all blah, blah, blah and largely meaningless. | | | |

Could be, the Ogdens have got the measure of him now
If so, they'll see what's been coming across from the fans and understand the "wisdom of the crowd" | |

agree with everything you say; but if you look at the statement from MEN from June last year, the word 'lent' definitely appears. but i stand to be corrected.  |
I think that was to cover the period while due diligence was being carried out . I would suspect It was the way they could invest the money straight away before the deal was finalised.
It was probably a down payment on the £2 mil paid for shares. | | | |
