Can anyone come on here and explain how they are fit for purpose??
There whole being was having a seat on the board.
They’ve given one up. Being a former Trust board member, I can tell you that the stick you get is totally over the top and unwarranted. I once posted something on FB as a favour to another board member because he was working, I then went out for the evening and got so much abuse for not answering questions about the post.
CAN YOU IMAGINE the abuse if the Trust had of said "We insist on our board place" to KT, after he had said it was a deal breaker. Don't forget, at this time, KT had promised to complete the East Stand , something no other interested party had offered to do, so it was decided that the best outcome for NTFC was to let KT go ahead. He exact words were "We don't hold board meetings as such, I'm in the USA, David is in Dubai and Mike in the UK, we just have the odd 3 way phone calls"
They’ve declined the offer to stand to regain a place on the board.Grange has explained that if the Trust had have put up a candidate, they would have stood down from the Trust to maintain the "independence"
I’ve met many board members and they are decent people , they really are, but the club needs much better representation and a new trust that can work with the club, have board representation and report to fans rather than make ‘executive’ decisions
The trust imo is currently just a clique of rebel rousers who have an aim of fan ownership with no blueprint(even random admits they haven’t canvassed opinion) in how to achieve it. As I posted , in this thread, about 2 hours ago there is NO aim of fan ownership except as a last resort
Imo a new supporters group is needed that can report to the fans, have democratically elected members who will hold the club to account, will have ONE travel club and have the backing of the majority of fans.You have just described the Trust down to a tee
We will soon have a new fans rep on the board and imo he needs to address this rather than go backwards to a trust that has become increasingly distant from the club and the fans who pay money for it to represent.It's not an easy thing to start a fans group, it takes a lot of dedicated people working lots of hours, for nothing, by all means have a go, it takes a bit more hard work than sitting behind a keyboard slagging people off but doing nothing yourself .
