I don’t trust the trust.

I think someone should just take this city of Peterborough and just... just flush it down the f***in' toilet

Oh and the other thing. They were so completely uninspired by warehouses they did a deal with a company that will do exactly that if they get the land!
Oh and don't forget they did a deal with Cilldara that gave them first refusal on buying the ACV land should they ever decide to do so!!!!
And people criticise ME for challenging them so strongly over the last few years when THIS is the sort of thing they have been up to.
Our owners are far from perfect and need to be challenged but the ones doing it should have been better than this and that's all I've ever asked.

Well they need to explain themselves. As it stands they are no better than Cardoza and the crooks who stole the clubs expansion dream 10 years ago. The trust have danced with the devil and sold the club out. I'm utterly disgusted by those on the trust board. RESIGN. All of you and explain why you thought partnering with Cilldara was remotely a good idea!

Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible c***’... me!

No one is surprised. It took Cilldara (or associated entity) to confirm it though, so much for confidentiality. We all prefer land grabbers with the clubs interests at heart. You forget how thick skinned these Trustites are. They’ll come out swinging with the same old rhetoric, with Tony Clarke defending their honour on FB.And on here..

Saw it summed up well on Twitter, a small number of trust members had their heads turned about fan owned football clubs by a few hipsters and have lost any sense of what they should be there for.

Basically they were waaaay out of their depth. Minnows swimming in a Shark tank!

Time for them to go.
If the Trust Board don’t resign tonight how do Trust members bring forward the vote on Board membership? Or do we have to wait for the current Board to arrange the vote?
Cheers in advance for the answers!

Well done Tom, the trust legal advisor has started his threatening rhetoric on FB, and the recipient is refusing to back down.

You reported a while back, that apart from the nine mentioned, other people would be willing to stand and be named. Is now a good time, or too early?

And we got slaughtered for suggesting, for them, it was anyone but the current owners.
That’s exactly what the motive was and I had that confirmed to me some time ago - so ill thought out it’s embarrassing. I don’t doubt the intentions were to do what was best for the club but I strongly believe the strategy was led by a very small minority within the trust hierarchy - the majority, good people with good intentions had neither the business expertise, time or strength to counter this approach. I guess moving forward the fundemental question is, has this affair damaged the club - certainly it won’t affect the JD - but if that finds against WNC then I think significant damage has been done - so much s***e thrown at the current owners with a huge and relentless campaign suggestion that they were doing nothing for the benefit of the football club or community why should they be looked on any more favourably than Cilldara, who it is now clear will also do nothing for the club or community - paradoxically the Trust may be instrumental in the end of our club.

I've been saying this for ages and getting dismissed as a Trust basher. They need to go. Now. They have caused enough damage.

Phew at least I’m off the hook. Seriously though not the brightest move to involve Cilldara.

To give the Trust a tiny bit of credit when they finally realised the truth that their partner was only in it for themselves (which anyone with an iota of business savvy could have told them months ago) at least they did the decent thing and stopped flogging a dead horse.

Should new Board members be elected I would like to now officially apply for the position of advisor to the board.
My first advice is going to be to make the position redundant. Then put restrictions in place to ensure that never again does an unelected individual such as myself have so much apparent influence and control regarding the decision making process of the board.
Do I get the job?

Sounds sensible. Now, shall I get your coat, or will you collect it on the way out?

My take on all of this is fairly simple.
What an utter s***show.
