whittles left foot Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 1 hour ago, Ryan said: In my opinion Abdallah is just using the Trust. Funny how he’s only invited them onto the board, after 16 months of completely ignoring their repeated attempts to contact, just as they’re mobilising the wider fanbase against him and calling for protests. Can you not understand-the trust has a legal right to be represented on the board-they do not require an invitation. Getting the owner to recognise this is what they have to keep bashing away at and they finally seem to be getting some success. 4 hours ago, Kusunga_Is_God said: The obsession with secrecy is baffling. Join the trust for an ego trip lads. You constantly seem to mix up volunteers doing this for no other reward than the well being of the club and hence working in their own time with some sort of secrecy. They are not there to produce minutes instantly at your request. I will ask again-what is the urgency? What are you going to do when you get said minutes-nothing but bitch on here.

The 3% offers very little in terms of actual clout as can be seen for much of Corney's tenure too. Their involvement can be kept to an absolute minimum. It's good progress is being made, and important that continues in parallel but they will have more influence linked with the ground purchase than as shareholders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) There is a feeling the Trust have not related to AL how much fans don't trust him and his brother. Did they ask him if foreign imports was the policy with more recruitments not suitable like Vera? Has he been asked straight out if he or his brother will have no say in future team selection or tactics? Have they asked him if the budget will be drastically reduced next season? These are yes and no questions to be minuted. Edited May 9, 2019 by BP1960 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re. 2 - my understanding is that the Trust are not directly linked to the proposed ground purchase. More that they are acting in an advisory/consultative/broker capacity on behalf of the fans' consortium that are exploring the deal. Apologies if I am wrong on that point but it is an important distinction to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was meaning that their 3% is low in value that just being the link to the ground was more influential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's less than that, more that the Trust had to be informed due to the AVC, but they're not linked to the buyers at all really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems regular meetings with fans, this could be perhaps every couple of months, and an annual meeting with the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had been told to sign an NDA then I would hope they would have said so. Signing an NDA doesn’t prevent you from saying “we are subject to an NDA” “Only” seeing statutory accounts is sufficient isn’t it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
