The Trust were absolutely right to give up their seat on the board given the circumstances at the time. Could you imagine the fallout if they'd refused and the rescue deal had fallen through?
So let’s just take a step back.
The trust made an executive decision to relinquish power blaming pressure from the owners and the timescale not allowing them much time to involve the paid membership in any decision.
They at that point don’t disband even though their whole point of being doesn’t exsist.
They then spend years moaning that they aren’t on the board, can’t get info out of the club until such point that they are not even on talking terms with the club.
An opportunity then arises for a fan rep to be allowed back on the board and the club make it clear anyone can apply including trust members.
The trust have a two week window to canvass paid membership opinions on whether they would like to see the trust attempt to regain their previously held seat but they don’t deem that issue important enough to arrange a meeting of the trust membership or hold a vote on the matter.
They instead take a executive decision not to contest the election of a place on the board despite that being the whole point of the trust being formed in the first place.
They are prepared to carry on without a seat on the board whilst asking for people to pay to join them.
Is that a fair summing up of the situation?
