Where does it say that other opinion is irrelevant? I've posted that everyone is entitled to their views......whether I agree with them or not is down to me! The fact I am engaging in a civil conversation with that particular poster should show that I don't actually find his opinion or thoughts irrelevant. I am listening to the membership or wider fanbase, I have no idea if BOTN is a Trust member or not...it doesn't matter to me!
I feel like the discussion has moved on but I do need to clarify what I was saying on this specific point as I don't think I've been clear.
The point is that there is a whole bunch of supporters including myself that don't feel the trust board and therefore the trust as a whole represent our views.
Maybe I'm wrong here but my view is that the trust board members are simply custodians and should always be acting in a way that represents the views of the membership and the wider support base. Not just their own personal beliefs or agendas. Hopefully the two views match on most occasions but when they don't who and how is the decision made on which route to take?
For instance the decision to back the development deal a year ago. Who makes that decision and on what evidence do they base that? How do they know they are truly representing what the members or wider fanbase want? Likewise the decision to withdraw the backing. Likewise the decision to reject meetings in favour of written answers only to the infamous 25 questions.
Add to this the presentation to the council. I assume the council is receiving the presentation in the belief this is the view of the fans of NTFC. So again is it the view of the trust board that's being presented, the membership or the whole fanbase. If it's just the board view then that should be made clear to the council, if it's the members or wider fanbase then how do you know you are truly representing our views?
My sense is that the board is now made up of indviduals with very similar viewpoints on our ownership and the way forward and those being added to the board are people that very much match this template. Surely that's a massive problem for the members and the fanbase. Because that brings me back to the initial point. Who represents what BOTN and others are saying?
