But does the Trust have a constitution if not it can be whatever each individual member perceives it to be.
It does but I can't find it at the moment. I'm sure Barra or Bax could post a link if you're interested. |

It takes 2 minutes to setup a WhatsApp group chat! Not a whole season
What if you're a member who doesn't do WhatsApp (doesn't want to or doesn't do computers/smart phones)? |

Ring them? Carrier pigeon? Go and knock on their door?
A criticism I would have of the Trust is that the board members are effectively whoever wants to be one. If the board (which imo has too many people sitting on it*) was elected by the membership then the wider fan base might be more accepting of them using their judgment to make decisions at club and Trust board level. In exceptional circumstances the Trust could decide to take wider polls of the membership.
*We are told every year that there are spaces available on the Trust board. A board should be concise I think. For a hardcore supporter base of 4500 (even less as the Trust itself) why are we needing more than 5-7 people? Why not have a smaller board with those boards heading seperate, smaller committees who focus on the different areas the trust focuses on?

Thing is not every trust member has Whatsapp..or a mobile...or an e -mail.....if as was indicated in an earlier reply, full consultation is not required anyway as the members of the trust board are elected and therefore seen to be a democratic representation of its members then .... as the Board of Directors recently gave unequivocal support to RS then the Trust rep must have supported it. If the trust board feel they are no longer happy then surely, on behalf of its members, it should request a board meeting for another review of the positon ? |

Is ‘unequivocal’ the same as unanimous?

absolute; unqualified; not subject to conditions or exceptions, so the Trust rep voted to keep Slade. |

So you’d replace our current manager who was a recently sacked League One manager when we appointed him with a recently sacked League One manager?
If we sacked Slade we should find someone willing to be caretaker until the end of the season whilst employing a manager recruitment consultant to find us a manager who would fit into a plan for where we want to find ourselves in five years time. We can’t just keep treading water with managers and we need to plan ahead because otherwise you end up signing journeymen to play for merry-go-round managers.
Russell Slade - prior to joining GTFC he had been sacked from 3 clubs in the space of 9 months and has never had a team promoted. Phil Brown - promotions with Hull to the Premiership and Southend to consecutive play-offs and eventual promotion to the 1st Division where he had been for almost 5 years. Who's credentials would you trust ? |

Might be worth a thread of it’s own. Big problem here in that this Jon Wood doesn’t seem accountable to anyone at the Trust. |

So where did the Trust derive it's mandate for this vote.

LH: there are no elections to the Trust board because there aren't a lot of volunteers willing to stand. if more people came forward then there'd be more competition and therefore contested elections. But there seems to be either apathy or contentment about the way things are going. Or is there a lack of self-confidence?
Friskney, the Trust derives its mandate from its membership. What vote are you talking about?
