Fenty still believes in the football fairy who will come and sprinkle some football fortune dust on us very, very soon because we've been very very good boys and girls and waited very very (very) patiently for our turn. (Must be true coz he said we'll be in the Championship in 5 years!)

Its the fans fault remember.
We forced Hurst out, we largely embraced Bignot instead of telling JF he was a froot loop, we never embraced Slade, we didnt attend the checkatrade so we didnt get football fortune, we are toxic, we bully.
I personally would be happy for the club to play the remaining home games behind closed doors if it meant the points were in the bag.


In the case of the trust elections it is absolutely the fans fault.if people don't get involved or don't vote then you get the trust you deserve. So easy to criticise from the sidelines .shame that some on here who seem to spend half their life moaning about the state of gtfc don't get off their keyboard and do something positive.

What really p1sses me off is that clearly the likes of Fenty, Marley and Day don't run their own businesses with such a poor level of investment, management, strategy, governance and regard for key stake holders. So why do they think that they can get away with operating like that with something that means so much to so many.      


They've made their money on the backs of workers on minimum wage doing 60 hour weeks.

Ask for an update on how they plan to pay the £46k based on reduced income from memberships and reduced income from the bars with zero income over the summer months. And if we get relegated...



Well if the Trust can't pay (and I don't see Fenty allowing credit somehow) then the majority of Trust members will have their wish granted as the Trust won't have the seat on the board

Why is it suddenly £46,000 anyway.  

Are the other board members stumping up? I very much doubt it.

Yeah why's it gone up from £30,000?

Also, I thought the deal was £30k for two seats on the board?

Since the Trust has only had one one place on the board for months (can't remember, maybe a year?), maybe the amount should be reduced.

How many does it take to sharpen the pencils, make the tea and adjust the cushions in Fenty's chair anyway?

No idea where the £46k comes from. Never seen that mentioned anywhere previously. Who agreed that?

The £30k ( which came from running the clubs bars) was in return for ONE seat on the board although IIRC two candidates were put forward for the club to choose from. They couldn't split them so voted to take both.

I think the Trust need to say in words of one syllable if the survey results stated the fans wanted to withdraw from the club board. If they did then the promised vote amongst members should have been out by now imo

Your sentiment isn't wrong Forza but..

I joined the Trust in January and to date haven't received a single acknowledgement, not even an automated email, so I don't hold my breath for anything tangible from them at all. On top of that, I saw the survey was posted on Twitter and respectfully waited a day or two for them to post it on here. Didn't happen, I ended up starting a thread and posting it myself. It felt like they didn't want to advertise the results, let alone get them debated in full..

PS I have discussed with Barra about getting involved if there was a change in direction of the Trust. Barra has always been more forthcoming than the organisation itself..
