At their most recent board meeting decided to re-negotiate the £30k fee for a seat on the board according to the minutes - sorry if this is old news!

Yes, Mr Fenty says it will only be £40k now, what a bargain, seat in upper Findus and being able to go to board meetings and be preached to.

I do hope you get a pie and free bovrill thrown in as well ;)

Reappraise makes sense.

Wonder if the money they currently 'donate' could be put in to buy shares going forward? That way the club doesn't suffer financially but the Trusts part ownership is increasing?

Or perhaps they should resign from the board in protest.  What influence do they have anyway?

I think before any decision on the £30k and GTFC board membership consideration should be given to the longer term strategy. What is the aim?

If the trust resigned from the board would Mr Fenty take the bars away, not that I believe he is vindictive.

Have they stopped fighting amongst each other now?

The evidence of the bars suggest he should hand over more functions to the Trust.  :)

Would you be able to ask for your 30k back if you decided to leave ?

Benign donation?
