THE TRUST HAVE THE PROOF.
WHY DONT YOU ASK THEM.
I did ask them. Many times. The most recent being yesterday! Do you know what they said? You should do because I posted it on here several months ago. "The Trust Board is satisfied that the evidence of the payments in the amounts stated is accurate." That's it. Is that a good enough answer?
And you think the club are bad at answering questions.
Here's some facts for you. The Trust Board, again note the distinction between board and membership, were in possession of this information last summer 2020. It wasn't only shared with the membership/wider fanbase this summer 2021 and when I say shared I mean we were told about it not shown any actual evidence. Is that ok, comfortable with that? If it's so damning why wait nearly a year and even then they only told you about it because people had become aware of it's existence.
As the Trust have stated DB hasn't sued them despite having a string of law firms so they should be perfectly comfortable with producing all the evidence and explaining how/where they got it from.
Apparently in summer 2020 they were so concerned about the information they wrote to KT to challenge him about it. Discussions took place via letter and meetings where it was discussed. Do you know what was said? Nope neither do I or anyone else other than the Trust Board and the club. WE ONLY know this conversation even happened because KT released a copy of the letter he wrote to the Trust Board in response to their concerns. Again you comfortable with that? Open, honest, transparent?
Coincidently that summer 2020 someone was hawking the evidence around local and national press.
You might ask if this evidence is so damning it should be shared with the relevant authorities be that Police, HMRC, Companies House, the football league and I'm sure there are potentially others. Did this happen? The trust wouldn't answer and said "The Trust is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and complies with its reporting obligations." So is that a yes/no/maybe? If it was reported to anyone what was the outcome?
So going back to when they challenged KT in the late summer of 2020. The Trust have made their position clear. They have grave concerns regarding the chinese deal and the financial transactions that took place. They rightly have concerns that the club was sold without anyone telling them. Basically they don't trust the owners as far as they could throw them. So what did they do next? Tell it's membership, provide evidence of the wrong doings.....nope get this and this is simply bizarre and frankly unbelievable. Just weeks later...
THEY PUBLICLY RELEASED A JOINT STATEMENT WITH THE OWNERS AND BACKED THE EAST STAND DEVELOPMENT DEAL!!!!
You couldn't make this up.
And that's not even mentioning that this is the EXACT SAME DEAL/PLANS that are on the table TODAY!
And you wonder why I have questions?
Everyone happy with all that? Is that what you expect from your representatives? If it is well you are in luck because that's what you have.
And I'm the bad guy for challenging this and asking for much better from them. As Deepcut said is it really expected that ordinary supporters should have to "pull" this information out of the Trust?
Finally to head of the usual supsects that are about to ignore everything I have written and say "Are happy that the club act this way or why don't you challenge the club". No I'm not happy and I have challenged the club. But think about how flawed that kind of thinking is. You are essentially saying everything I have said above is ok because that's what the owners are like.
