What a f'in shambles all round. The whole back and forth of all of this was so very avoidable. When you back sides far enough in to a corner
they end up with no choice but to come out fighting.
So much of what was said in the letter from the club staff rings true unfortunately and it's things I've warned the trust about myself many times over the last couple of years. It was only a month or so ago I warned that there are individuals on social media who do a massive disservice to the trusts cause and some of those individuals are either on the board/advise the board or are very vocal members of the trust.
I follow the club, supporters trust, ntfc community trust, and most local journalists including Tom Reed on Twitter. I can tell you that without fail I see the same people respond to a vast majority of anything these people tweet with negative critical comments about the clubs ownership. The insulting replies more often than not bear no resembelence to the original tweet and more often than not mention off shore accounts, chinese money, land grabbers etc. You catch my drift. Local journalists get badgered to the point they end up blocking these individuals from ruining their timeline and this is simply taken as a moral victory for the loud mouth bullies. They show no tact or diplomacy and frankly win nobody over to their perspective even if they actually may have a point.
The reason I say this is those individuals are what some people will be seeing as representative of the trusts position. Whether they are are chairman of the board, on the board, advising the board or simply close associates it doesn't really matter I can't stress how much damage this reputationally does to the trust. Why would the trust even want inidviduals like this with this type of behavior representing them at any level.
If I was the trust I'd be careful in responding too quickly and reflect on what's being said. I'm sure there will be denials and guarantee tweets will have been deleted recently but screenshots can still be damaging.
I said years ago when debating the exact same topics we are discussing today with people like Vintage, random, Tom Reed etc. You need to take people on a journey with you. If you have evidence that KT is a "wrong un" show it with hard evidence. If he's screwing over the club prove it. Don't just tell me....show me and everyone else!!! We see the same thing with Manwork over the last few weeks on here. Nobody should have any fear of saying anything if it's TRUE and you can PROVE it.
I also said that the trust should surround itself in positivity, go on a membership drive and prove to the fans they are of value to them. Most of all ask your members what they want and do that. Since then it's been a constant stream of shooting themselves in the foot while playing political games.
What a f'in mess
Your right I have heard a number of things, but I am not in possession of the evidence, I have no reason to disbelieve the people who told me.
The people that have that evidence need to speak up now.
That letter that is posted on the official club website is probably one of the most unprofessional things I have seen, to be quite frank its embarrassing, the club is lowering itself to the same level as the idiots that critique the work the club does in the community, whoever thought this was a good idea should resign.
The whole thing smacks of being contrived TBH.
