When has a supporter ever been in a public speaking situation?
At the Fans Forum? Doesn't get more public than a crowd and Radio Humbs coverage.
If you act like a male private, expect them to respond accordingly.
Accordingly, like a male private, thus like Marley? I accept that answer.
I actually thought the anti-Matt Dean shouters were far more male private-like, but I don't recall Dean going male private-like, despite constant aggressive barracking.

I agree. but equally in that role, she is representing the club. It's absolutely right that she should inform the club of the supporters opinions on situations regarding the club and vice versa where appropriate. It isn't right to release press statements condemning the organisation that you represent, even if it's a voluntary role and that's what the fans think. People have been sacked for posting negative comments about the company they work for on social media. I don't see how it's unreasonable to ask that somebody who represents the club should run press statements by them. It's a shame that Kristine was doing a good job and stood down, but it wasn't an impossible situation by any means. And having somebody who already works for the club represent the Blundell Park side of the SLO role makes sense, it would have been nice if they could have worked together for the better of everybody.
Did Kristine do that? Can't say that i'm aware of it. |

Haven't posted for a while but this is where many of the fans and the club stance differs. Kristine IMO was representing the fans TO the club, NOT representing the club. She spoke on behalf of the supporters and not on behalf of the club It is plainly obvious to the majority that anyone who says or does anything to criticise the club is ostracised or removed from their position. Many of those who were involved in the trust plus local media activists are proof of this. It is this dictatorial attitude that will, sadly be the death knell of GTFC under its current guise. I will not expect you to accept this but for me and many others, GTFC no longer exists. It has had its heart ripped out by its dictator and those who follow the regime I wouldnt join the Slade out groups simply because it will make no difference. The cancer of the club runs too deep |

Supposed to say public, not press. And yes, over the Stevenage incident saying the club were wrong not to issue a statement. She may very well be correct, but that should have stated to the club as per her role. |

She's representing both as a liaison role providing information in both directions. It is representing the club, that's why the club advertise the role. |

But they cannot advertise a job, even a voluntary one, that precludes a certain section of the fans, especially one as vague as 'pressure groups'. That isn't people berating the club for the sake of it to point that out.
There is a genuine concern when we have people signed up to inflammatory nutty political groups such as Britain first and Momentum for example. But I can't believe they'd be talking about being a member of a football 'group' but then again 🤔 |

When has a supporter ever been in a public speaking situation? Shouting abuse as you walk past people, or waiting outside the ground to shout abuse and posting some of the stuff that gets said on social media is not the same as speaking in public.
An accountant is here to provide specialist knowledge on accounting, not public speaking. If you ask somebody a question, give them a chance to answer. If you act like a male private, expect them to respond accordingly.
Actually if he is in a position of some sort of power i.e. a member of a board then he should rise above that, I didn't see it but if what is said on here is true ,that he shouted someone down then he also becomes a male private. Very unprofessional. |

I read that and find it so difficult to understand how somebody not closely associated with those making the decisions would have this argument. I don't believe that a press statement was made without the knowledge of the club. If that is the case the club was upset surely it would have been better to discuss this with the current SLO who had an excellent record and reputation, rather than appointing another one without telling her. Not to mention writing a press release and showing it to her with a quote she hadn't even said. |
