Much of the credibility will come from what he is and is not allowed to answer questions on .
There is no doubt certain topics are off the agenda by way of instruction with other staff members .
Playing budget is one of them .

It is inevitable in any senior position or boardroom role that you will be privy to certain information that you cannot share. That’s taking into account that he is the supporter rep. Confidentiality has to be maintained. As some have already said, he is on an hiding to nothing, especially with a exceptionally small section of the support.

Tom is a genuinely nice guy, who I have encountered socially, and through his job. He is respected for his honest, candid and insightful perspective on anything he turns his hand to. He has a proven record both professionally and in terms of ventures he has been instrumental in. Any suggestions that he is being used or manoeuvred by the club is a weak and futile attempt to undermine what is one of only two democratic processes undertaken. Both of which were initiated by the club.

I have every faith, that should he find his role is being undermined by the club, he will absolutely address it.

Unfortunately Tel he could be Nelson Mandela, but because of his historical role at the club a section of the fan base have him right in the cross hairs and he will need the manoeuvrability of a house fly to dodge the bullets. Such a shame, but that role will get raised at every opportunity if some don’t like the way things go.

I don’t really care if he’s mother Theresa, he needs to stop cheerleading KT’s business dealings for a start.
Secondly he needs to ask the difficult questions on behalf of the fans, actions speak louder than words.
I agree he’s put himself in a very difficult position, but again he knew that when he applied.

He was democratically voted for by the support. Those that criticise him were not. We’ve seen it with Brexit, Scottish devolution. The big mouths and bullies don’t like it if it doesn’t go their way. Personally… I fcuking love it. 😁😁

That’s why I have put the poll up to gage opinion, if enough supporters ask for it then Tom can ask on behalf of the fan(s).

Your idea of democracy is pretty fûcked up if you think democracy means two candidates with two weeks notice out of a fan base of 10000 +

Does Tel even believe in democracy. I thought he is proud never to have voted?

Tel and his motley crew only believe in what Kelvin tells them too.

10,000 supporter base ? That's a good  number, over 20% voted for a fellow supporter  to become a director on their behalf. A few more voted for somebody else. All this done in a short time frame, more could have put themselves forward, but didn't seem brave enough.
The Trust has been going nearly 30 years and has less that 10% of that 10,000 as members ? Voice of the fans ? You make me laugh.

The irony is they are the voice of the fans wether half a dozen on here like it or not.
p.s. you missed off the + from the 10k.

How many votes would have been cast in the election if you had to pay to do it, like you do to be a Trust member ?

Huh?

1260 total votes were cast and Tom received 73.17% of them.  (922 to 338) so to correct your statement above, even using the 10000 number, less than 10% voted for him

2489 total votes were cast in the kit vote however..... of which kit 3 gained 1372 votes......

So actually more Cobblers fans voted for one kit from a range of four options than Cobblers fans actually voted in the Supporters rep vote.

Damned statistics.......

Voice of the fans?? Only if he's wearing next years shirt!!  Grin

The level just got lower, is this where it's got to?
Why didn't the Trust put someone up for the free of charge vote if this is how representation is being dissected?
Sorry Roger, I like you as a person but really, alluding to cost of membership being a reason to discredit the vote is frankly cheaper than the cost of the membership.
