Yes, as a matter of urgency Uncle John is preparing clarification for them to put out (this was since yesterday   )

If this is an example of a matter of urgency by the Trust, I would hate to see a slowly considered response

It's Christmas. The Trust have lives and jobs. They all do it in their own free time and maybe getting them all together isn't that easy, Give them a break, we don't know what is going on behind the scenes. They have been in contact with the Shute's consortium before, so maybe they are talking to them.

The Trust isn't a single person. It's a volunteer board elected by members. It's not easy to get them together at short notice as it is, but even more so on Christmas Eve in the middle of a pandemic.

Fenty's deadline is nothing of the sort. I seem to remember he issued a similar one back in January and has subsequently reopened talks.

Then why put out a pointless statement
They could have said something like “Folks we are on the raz tonight so will respond when we sober up tomoz”

If I  had a membership card ( that's a laugh ) I would cut it up and send it back because they are not representing me or the majority of fans.

Do they really need to get together to agree on every tiny decision? Agree on a broad position, appoint a spokesperson and let that person respond to events on the ground. That's how most organisations work. Otherwise, it's just a litany of meetings and committees.

They might as well not exist judging to their contribution to this process which is a shame as they have a lot of members. They need to have a serious look at whether they are fit for purpose.


Et tu Rob? blimey things must be dire for you to be critical.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

If the deadline passes today with no deal and JF remains in charge then the Trust is no longer fit for purpose and will be shown to have no sway in being on the board.

In that scenario, if I remained a Trust member, I would be calling for a vote of no confidence in the Trust board members on GTFC's board and also in the Chair.

If JF remains in charge of the club the only thing the Trust can do is pull away from supporting him. Anything else would show they are not in touch with supporters. The argument of affecting things from the inside no longer washes I'm afraid.
