I've received an e-mail this morning, as I'm sure other Trust members have, informing me that a postal ballot re the Trust has been sent to me. Does anybody know what the ballot is? I'm guessing at 'Should we give Honest John (Con) our shares, otherwise he won't fund the club any longer?'

I don't know what it is but I'll be happy to make something up.

The ballot: Is Scott=Sir Alex

Does this mean we have dropped the Scott love in to a lower and more realistic level

An interesting idea IMHO would be if the trust offered Fenty the £500,000 worth of shares in exchange for 2 places on the board? Any thoughts?

Not sure he'll want to give up 2 places but it seems like the sort of compromise that might be needed. It has to be a good thing for everybody, including John Fenty, to have the fans a more integral, connected, motivated and positive influence within the club doesn't it?

Fenty should BUY the shares from the Trust, IMO.  It would give the Trust a "war chest", and help them achieve their aims.

I asked the same question on the Trust forum/board on here but as yet no reply - would be nice if the Trust could explain what the vote is about and then open up some kind of debate about it on here.

My fear is that it will be a give / sell the shares to Fenty vote and this will be passed.

If he wants control back in the boardroom then either convert his loans to shares or have a Trust member on the GTFC board.

Hopefully someone from the Trust will clarify what we are to vote on.

Disagree.

What would the Trust do with the money?

There wouldn't really be an option other than putting that cash into the club.

GTFC and hopefully the Trust will continue long after John Fenty. By keeping the current block of shares the Trust have a relatively strong hand in deciding how the club moves forward and could block any moves that are not in the best interests of the club.

They must continue to hold these shares in order to safeguard and protect the future of GTFC for future generations.
