BREAKING: Cobblers to invite democratically elected fan onto board...

[guest1269]

Depends who you vote for but def not a waste of time. Hope for some good may come of it.

Evers - the principle is sound but look at two aspect -

Firstly KT has shown no interest in true fan representation here, Oxford or Torquay and this has only happened coincidentally at the time of the spat with the Trust.
Secondly - roles and responsibilities of this position are very poorly defined and taking on a role legally defined as a director has a number of serious responsibilities. Additionally (and sadly) do you really think an individual albeit the fan’s choice is going to have as much clout as one with either deep pockets or in the current scenario one who can influence WNC decision making.

100% agree - I gave it some thought and came to the conclusion it’s nonsense and having read several pages of the thread maintain it’s nonsense and little more than a PR stunt from the current owner.

Absolutely spot on mate, this is the utter contempt that Thomas holds the supporters of our great club with, it’s just a PR stunt, two weeks to elect someone, it’s just ridiculous.
Thomas has clearly had enough, the interviews get more and more painful for him, life is too short Kelvin cut your loses, sell the club and go and do something else that will make you happy.

I'm not sure it's not Mr Bower that hasn't had enough and KT is on the receiving end of his frustrations over not seeing any prospect of a return on his investment.
Wasn't he over and in town recently?

He was and the fact he has transferred shares to his wife would lead to come to the conclusion he’s trying to sell.

Stop shît stirring TFAMH it makes you look bitter and twisted.

This is getting ugly!

Finally the thread becomes interesting.

Why all the excitement over who will be in charge of choosing the biscuits for meetings anyway? Custard Creams or Rich Tea, maybe a Peak Freans Family assortment to please the crowd! woah.

In the unlikely event I decide to run that decision has already been made.

Afternoon Melly. A true directors choice.

Any more decisions like that and you'll find yourself elected.

Just when his last few posts had struck a more balanced viewpoint, along comes this crap!!

Administrator my ar5e…..

Albeit rather tongue in cheek on my behalf. There are some valid points raised. How about rather than doing the usual Trust attitude of focusing on anything but yourselves, put up a reasoned response. Rise to the challenge old chap. Take me and the doubters on head first. Surely the think tank, the keepers of the facts wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to refute any suggestion that they are not representative of the support.

How about wiping the floor with me, by popping up with some tasty figures. Imagine the pure unconditional apology I would have to provide, once you hit me with the last five years new membership figures. Imaging my embarrassment when you show how the Trusts forum is not reflective of the apathy that resides within your membership, and you provide clear evidence of the wholesale engagement you have with your members. Hold a members only forum, you can come back on here the next next day with a genuine mandate, knowing that I and many others have misjudged the whole thing.

Look at all of the options open to the Trust board. Let’s see just one, just for affirmation of the stance taken. Surely that’s democratic and fair. I’m more than happy to be wrong. In fact it would inspire a confidence that would definitely galvanise the support. Let’s hear something actually from the support. Not just the few that meet in a club. Go on. Give it a go, rather than just sneering at us….

Perhaps they don’t think your that important Tel?

[Shoemaker]

In fairness to the trust they don’t need to get involved in spats on football forums.
They, just like the board of the football club should be above such things.

Oh come on, if you take that away from Tel all he would have left is to sit in the corner of a room sticking pins into an Andy Roberts doll.

did you take him up on the offer of a job?

Ironic really, I click on biscuits and cakes, and then get hit with requests to use Cookies.

I offered to help him find someone to do the job, but he didn't get back to me ! No one has enough money to tempt me back to work

Accepting all the cookies is why our "Merkin" friends are all fat. We should have biscuits on all British websites.

As a footnote please do listen to our friends from across the pond when they declare themselves, "Proud to be a Merkin." When you know what one is and how they came about, it will make you smile every time. Yee Ha.

I’d hope not. I’d hate to be considered anymore than any other person. But it is strange that the very few that insist on answers and integrity, appear as elusive as the ones they criticise.

As I said all along. It’s a race to the bottom between the Trust and the club.
