Just had a thought and one I dont think I like... Read the Trust statement again, not including the title, carefully. No where does it say that bid has been withdrawn. Just that their participation has been ended
As the bid has been placed and is under due diligence from the council, does the Trust's position just mean that they will no longer be involved but the bid remains active and they have essentially been played and allowed another speculator to bid on the land through their ACV backdoor? I really hope not.
Maybe some from the Trust can confirm. Is the full bid, in its entirety now dead? leaving just the owners and Cilldara left involved?
It was a bid made by the trust using money provided by people who the trust refused to name, citing commercial confidentiality etc. Are you a journalist Stan?

So the owners are greedy and machiavellian, their members seemingly pig ignorant and not worthy of consulting, the council unreasonable, now their own development partner's behaviour is described as dismaying.
At some point or another they need to look themselves in the mirror and ask what the common factor in all this is.
I'd also suggest that the upcoming AGM is a good opportunity for the current board to announce their collective resignation over this utter shambles.

An utter, utter disgrace. The board need to resign and resign now. And they can take their advisors with them.

So the Trust have been working with Cilldara. A company that has stated it has no interest in the Football Club. Indeed its interests are best served with the demise of NTFC. No member of the Trust Board should remain in their current position.

So as we suspected from their refusal to answer questions, commercial confidentially actually means that they know they are doing things they should not be doing and invovled with people they know members would not be happy with, manipulative and shameful.
Looks like they also moved forward with this whole project not only without members backing, but also without a watertight agreement in place.
Even this statement from the trust clearly trying to get ahead of the news and make themselves look like a victim is another demonstration of their willingness to lie to their members and fans, another misrepresentation of the truth.
Our (notmytrust.com) main issue has always been about poor behaviour and this is another prime example of that.
Every single one of them should hang their heads in shame and resign.
Time to go.

Agree with the sentiments above and they should all step down, lets do everything we can to not make this personal to the individuals though. Agree or disagree we all want what is best for the club and support the team first.

Confirms what we all thought at the time of the announcement...but hoped we were all wrong and that there was actually a creditable third party with the clubs best interest at heart... Absolutely discraceful that the trust (on behalf of but without any consultation with it's members) got into bed with these pure land grabbers with who have absolutely no interest in the club... What about the trust legal adviser alledgedly liaising with Cilldara prior to the trust bid? The whole trust board need to resign tonight!

Not only does this show the Trust board to be an embarrassment, I don't think it shows Cildara in a great light either. Presumably they have their own bid in play, plus this one in the Trust's name through one of their "associated entities".
Doesn't that show them to be a little underhand and prepared to play games to get what they want? Hopefully that will at least give the council pause for thought when considering the integrity of who they do business with.

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.

I said all this was happening back in October. Wonder how open they were with the council about who precisely the backer was.
As I said back then the plan was always to present everything as if it was a local development company when in reality it was essentially a front for Cilldara. It was exactly what I was also expecting them to do now if they had to answer questions now commercial confidentiality was gone.
And we got slaughtered for suggesting, for them, it was anyone but the current owners.
Even if the underlying motivation was to do what they thought was the best thing for the club how could nobody consider the optics of this.
So dumb. Commercial confidentiality....yeah right.

Something has gone seriously wrong with the trust board, that they would countenance such a move is incomprehensible.
