The Mariners Trust

Quoted from bax

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.

ABSOFUCKINLUTELY!

You can predict that after 4pm they will come out with their usual rudderless nonsense of ‘we are very disappointed this didn’t go ahead etc etc’ and resume the prawn sandwich and VIP treatment at BP.

If they do the membership should force the change. It's a democratically elected group and members should force that democratic right to make a change.

I was under the impression that the Trust Board Members sat in their season ticket seats. I know they get invited  to the annual Fenty Summer Bash though.

They’ve just put a statement out. What the intercourse are they playing at sat on the fence?

There is a crystal clear feeling from the fans and they’re not representing it.

Hardly sat on the fence. They’ve nailed their colours to Shutes and his consortium buying the club.

I've just read the 'Open Letter'. Honest opinion - pathetic.

Open Letter to John Fenty, Tom Shutes, Andrew Pettit and Jason Stockwood.



Dear John, Tom, Andrew and Jason.

We are very disappointed to see that the talks over the proposed takeover of GTFC have broken down. We are appealing to both parties to urgently find a solution and to conclude the transaction.

We stand by ready to help in any way we can and are contacting each party to that effect.

For the sake of the magnificent fans of this wonderful Club, please get to a deal.We can’t go on like this.

Weak as urine. Your a waste of time

I can't believe I'm writing this.....

I have some sympathy for the trust here, they are caught between a rock and a hard place as they have no power or influence in the deal and are sat between us (the fans), the board and the consortium.

What we have clearly seen from this is that there needs to be a rethink about how the trust operates and how it communicates to the supporters. They are supposed to represent us on the board and yet we hear next to nothing from them.

The current board members should step down as a vote of no confidence in the current board and begin a dialogue with fans about how we are better represented by the trust - a minimum expectation should be open disclosure of board discussions but an acceptance that not all the detail can be discussed.

FFS Makes John Fenty's statement look like a well drafted potential Booker prize winning piece.

Who on earth wrote this, one step up from 'the cat sat on the mat' Have any of the Trust board members got young grandchildren with nowt to do after they finished their letter to Santa?
