A feature of a Capitalist Society is that the people with the money do what they want.
The people with nothing will remain with nothing, however many sweets are thrown from the balconies of the Palaces.
The folks of the Trust are doing a Sterling job, given the current climate.
A change of the current situation requires a Benefactor with enough millions to buy a say on the Board.
Else, "Goodnight Vienna".
At least, where things are, we have a situation where a voice is heard in the upper Echelons. But, to think that anything else is feasible is, to be honest, fantasy land.
The "Owners" of the football club are in it for money. That is the political landscape which this country has voted for in the last however many General Elections. That is the reality..... and for the Owners, the word "Reality" is very important. (Check your dictionaries).
Without the "Trust", what supporters' body is there?
With the Trust, how does one overthrow Capitalism and gain a voice?
The Paper Tiger is not the Trust, it is this Message Board. I read nothing but meaningless waffle on this Board - lots of people prepared to say "he should do this", or "they should do that".
Get off your ferking fat arses and ferking do something, you load of s***e.
All you ferking tossers out there in Internet land, sitting behind your keyboards giving it the "You should do this"!, and "You didn't do that". To use Defender's keyboard: YOU ARE THE REASON WHY THIS CLUB IS GOING DOWN THE PAN. YOU ARE A BUNCH OF WASTERS. i WILL TAKE EVERYONE OF YOU ON, ONE BY ONE, IN A UFC RING, AND YOU'LL ALL BE PISSING YOUR PANTS WHEN YOU SEE ME. AND THAT WILL NOT BE THROUGH LAUGHTER...... GROW SOME BALLS AND FERKING FIGHT FOR REAL, NOT WITH TWERKING PRETTY WORDS ON A KEYBOARD".
Message understood?
Anyone happy to meet me, face to face on this issue?
Anyone want to support the Trust and get a consolidated message across?
What a load of useless keyboard tigers you lot really are......
Happy to catch up at some pint of shandy, or lemonade in your case. But I will try to put across my concerns.
For the Trust to be effective it has to have the main body of the support behind it. Not so much a reflection of this site, but more a reflection of how it represents us overall. My sentiments are quite simple. If there are mixed messages from both sides of the fence, then report that. If you are not convinced that the "capitalists" are playing fair, then report that. By all means go out on a limb and have an opinion. Brian Lomax was all about letting the facts out in the open, and allowing the supporters to deal with them as they see fit.
I believe the initial damage that was inflicted on the Trust, was by the closeness of DC to them. That has no reflection on the current Trust board, as that relationship was fostered by Tony Clarke. However, the Trust genuinely struggled to gain any serious traction at board level post that era. Under KT it has suffered another significant blow in terms of the loss of the seat on the board. So where is it now, and what is it's thoughts on the current situation? The truth is, I don't know. As a member of the Trust, and a very long term
sufferer supporter of the club, I'm in the dark. Now... If the Trust know more about the current situation than I do, then share it with me and perhaps then I can get off my "ferking fat arse"
and help. I have gone out of my way to fight what I see as wrong over the years at NTFC. And I am still involved in that from the perspective of what DC did to us. But there is fcuk all I can do if I am not given the facts.
I have no axe to grind with the Trust. Just report back what is being said. Every detail. Do not enter a meeting, unless you can immediately report back the contents of that meeting. If the council say DC is to blame.. Then report it. If KT says it's the Council, then report it. I cannot see a place where the Trust will do anything other than get it's fingers burnt if there is anything more than total candour. Like I say. I have asked to meet with those that were present at the meetings. I will ask at the start of the meeting if they are happy for me to report back anything that has been said. If they say no, then I will leave and state that they wish for some information to remain confidential. Then you, me and everyone elese can at least draw there own conclusions from it. Equally... If they want me to help them. I'm available.
