They cant change anything. Least they could do is update fans on the meetings they've had. And I don't mean commercially sensitive stuff. You've literally just agreed with me in your post. Trust are powerless and AL can do practically what he wants till he gets bored ‘Least they could do is update fans.’ They do. . . they release what they can/are allowed. Then you say it’s not enough! I thought you just acknowledged the trust are powerless? So why do you moan at people that you accept are no position to do what you want?

So why do you moan at people that you accept are no position to do what you want? they are powerless yet make out they can affect some change. They say they'll release minutes from meetings then dont. Just because people don't want to join the trust doesn't mean they wouldn't potentially find some of that information interesting. The trust are supposed to represent ALL fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdog Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Dear all I have had to review lately how much Trust stuff I do. Not just on the official sites but on social media pages. Yes the dreaded Work/volunteer/life balance.... Myself and others now and previously would always try and give an update to this site first but I am sorry to say, its getting too much to answer as we are not a 24/7 service. I used to view this site as on the pitch stuff but it seems these days its Trust stuff so I have made a conscious decision that I need to wean myself off Trust stuff on here and be more professional and use the Trust official sites for communication. So I have not won the lottery and buggered off......its just a personal choice that from now on I will use the two sites we have set up. Our official site and facebook site. Link to the Trust official site is below https://trustoldham.co.uk/ I will give you an update before I log of with regards to the Club/Trust meeting notes from 03/05/19. The notes were sent to the club for perusal on 08/05/19...well I am only human and can make a mistake as there were several people in the room at the time (16 of us in total). Some we did not know. There was no response by Friday 10th May so published the update on our site with regards to this. At the same time I forwarded the notes onto the club/Owner solicitors to see if they could push them through (there was one in attendance at the meeting). As of today I still had no response. So I have emailed a reminder to both club and club solicitor this AM to ask if they can give us an update/timescale. We will update the Trust site with any developments. Thanks everyone have a great post season, let the sunshine commence Cheers Edited May 15, 2019 by underdog 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 If there were items requested not to be minuted at the meeting why not just publish the rest. That's how I ran my committee meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I ran my committee meetings. Hi BP There were 4 guests of the club and I don't honestly know if I captured their names correctly or if they want it to be known that they attended the meeting. I don't have their contact details so I was being polite by allowing the club to contact them as they were their guests for feedback. I also do not know if the club made any notes either to compare. Maybe being too polite I suppose. Cheers for the feedback I am a bit of a novice with it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 12 hours ago, League one forever said: Do you understand what the trust is? Seriously? What power do you think they have over a private businessman whose company isn't in administration? The answer is none. It seems you want a bunch of volunteers to gain the trust of the owner so he tells them whatever little he chooses. Then you want them to out him, fully minute and publicise every word he says. . Betraying what slither of cooperation there is. To achieve what? Force him to sell? To who? He clearly loves the ego trip of owning a club. If he is paying the bills, and keeps us out of court. He is answerable to no one! My advice- stick the cricket on. This summer's batshittery does seem to have started early doesn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need to see someone, your reading isn't up to much. Scholes, in my opinion, did bottle it, and SOME of AL's players are decent Ha, shit my pants? What would it achieve? I thought the trust were open to suggestions? Look at their responses to people. They're clearly not. They say they'll inform the fans and keep people up to date. They don't.

They've been used for a long time to protect sensitive business information in situations like acquisitions or mergers. That's why one was used during the acquisition of BP and I suppose the trust could be viewed as having "merged" with the club. The ones usually used to protect the rich from scandalous situations are gag orders, which are enforceable by the courts. NDAs aren't generally enforced, it's usually a case of the "deal" being taken off the table if sensitive data is leaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDAs are hated because they are misused and smack of cover ups for powerful people. They're a normal everyday part of conducting business discussions, to protect each party's confidential information by placing an obligation on the other party to keep such information confidential. It's an important part of facilitating business transactions. There's nothing sinister about NDAs per se. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
