Not sure what to make of your post MC ! I will pick-up on just one thing. Please reply
You want information from the Trust then just dismiss it as pie in the sky. Why exactly is fan ownership with local businessman pie in the sky?
It is pie in the sky is because you are dealing with people who have broken promises time and time again, they have moved the goal posts so many times, failed to offer any development of the club, paid £1 to take control and then quoted 2 different prices to 2 different people with 2 days (and the price difference was double!). For whatever reason they don't want to sell. I can only assume they are waiting for another bunch of clueless (or criminal) investors to pay them another £6m down payment. (or its building up tax losses to off-set if they do get a land sale) Perhaps they are charging the club £1m + per year in consultancy fees.
Many have taken this stand with the Trust and just demand everything, then as soon as the Trust start to produce something, like the leaflet, it is instantly dismissed and ridiculed.
All the while our club suffers another year of slow death with owners only interested in the surrounding land and not the football club, yet they are not questioned or put under anywhere near pressure the Trust are.
Seems many are happy to blame the Trust for our failings (yes they certainly could have been better) rather than the owners
The question I was asked is what I don't like about the trust. Conflating this with our ownership and current situation on and off the field seems to be common practice when any purely trust criticism is given. Showing me how sh1t the club is somehow makes my points about the trust irrelevant?
In response to your question regarding the fan ownership model being pie in the sky. I've explained that already in that any fan ownership of any model is massively limited when most other clubs are not playing by the same rules. A club run under a strict break even policy with limited financial flexibility is always going to find things tougher than one that has owners with deep pockets. Not saying it's fair or right it's a fact of life that the current structure of football allows.
In addition any proposals from the trust regarding a fan ownership model have had no detail whatsoever. Hence again why I say pie in the sky. It's a dream with no substance behind it. How would it work. Who are these local businessmen desperate to be involved. What would it mean for the club financially in the short term. I've not even seen anything of even high level detail about how it would work and why I should support it. But I've said this already in my original post.
