@TheBlueDodger Young talent is nothing without experience to guide it. Watch Kai go to arsenal and turn into a top player under arteta. Todd is playing football manager with Chelsea - Newcastle showing how to run a club with new money without ripping out the core of the team.

You read all these articles and nothing comes close to how this all evolved. FI removed their liability which gave users an exit point. In doing so and moving towards a so called "functioning market" they did not provide any of the fundamentals for that to work. #footballindex

A real shame to see this brilliant community fall apart. It's been a great 4 years on the index which sadly ended pretty dramatically. Thanks all for the good times - I hope clarity on steps forward come to you all soon, especially those suffering the most #footballindex

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

Do not suffer in silence people, DMs open if anyone needs to talk #footballindex

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

For anyone who wants clarification on how this all happened, this is a great summary. Long term users never went into this blind, the fire escape was taken away when the house caught fire. #footballindex

Re: #FootballIndex.

There's still a massive misconception among the wider football world about versus what FI was, and what it became.

Let's clear a few things up (Thread time)

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

@evanspringle @fi_samba Mike Bohan bakes a cake and then adds the eggs. That way it stops any potential rise... #footballindex

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

The only thing I can control is selling at a over a 90% loss...WHAT A JOKE #footballindex

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

@FiRonnie7 I know mate, losses aside this is the additional kick in the balls. The concept was great and never have I been so engaged with football - it hasn’t been the same since Friday’s crash. If we are all honest we would love the game to survive, but I just can’t see it after all this

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

By no means am I defending him, as ceo he has that responsibility to his customers. I only feel for him that he inherited a shit show that I don’t believe he really got to run - was a puppet acting for a board who had no idea how the product worked and only cared about money.

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

I wouldn’t be surprised if mike has been used as a pawn by the board. My blame lies with AC - promised the world and jumped out the firing line when shit hit the fan. He rushed through OBs and tried to make this market run before it could walk #footballindex

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

Imagine working in FI CS and going to bed last night thinking the worst day is behind you. You then get into the office and have a barrage of emails from pissed off 1D fans 😂 #footballindex

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

What have i woken up to 😂 #footballindex

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

@ChrisAG_9 Spot on mate, was about to tweet something similar.

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

@rolex_collector @Carrera757 Yeh appreciate that mate, can’t excuse the abuse. Losses aside, I’m gutted that a product that brought so much engagement and extra enjoyment to football is looking dead. Looks like we also share a similar disappointment in the football team we support 😂

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

@rolex_collector @Carrera757 I saw these on twitter a while ago and was pretty shocked at the time. Doesn’t sit with me, personally it’s always good to have differing opinions to form a better judgement. From my side I just happened to be on the wrong side of the fence this time, but that’s the way it goes.

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

@rolex_collector @Carrera757 Sadly that now seems an accepted part of life. Most of the community I have engaged with seem to be decent, but appreciate you have likely seen the other side just like caan did from my chats with him over the last few months.

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

@rolex_collector @Carrera757 Don’t tarnish us all with the same brush mate, most of us were here for the love of concept and shared passion. Sadly we cannot control what a small majority of people say or do.

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

FI buying up this liability for sure. I expect a change of management announced soon - such a fantastic concept driven into the ground. From a personal point of view i would love to see it in competent and ethical hands, purely for the love of the product and game. #footballindex

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

Daily mail just picked it up....@footballindex
#footballindex

[FI Brooks @IndexBrooks]

Hope the suffering for people eases with time. Draw on each other for support and don’t be afraid to reach out, we are all in this together. If anything good comes from this, it’s that the vast majority of this community look out for and support one another. ✌️ #footballindex
