How many Town fans are members of the Trust? A tiny percentage.

Nothing the Trust will say or do will ever change my mind that Mr Fenty is the worst ever owner of GTFC and should step down.

This is what gets me down about member organisations - they think they wield more influence than is the case.

Then they argue - well join the Trust then. No, I don't want to join the bloody Trust and even if I did it would not make a scrap of difference at Fenty towers.

The wider Town fan base will show Mr Fenty he is not wanted at GTFC, and the only realistic way of outing him is a takeover from people with access to a great deal of investment.

But they could also be the group to rally around if we want someone to get a financial campaign going to oust the board. They have far more knowledge of how the club runs than your average fan.

If a high powered consortium of leading business people with access to enormous investment cannot oust him, I am pretty sure a well-meaning but nonetheless futile fans organisation could.

I am sure we all still urge the parties to come to a compromise to get the deal over the line as in my opinion at least, that is the best way to get rid of him whilst keeping the ship fairly steady.

A fans led group will be years of infighting and vitriol, and we have had a belly full of that already.

The trust duo should step down.

Then the trust should contact Shutes, Stockdale and Petit and inform them the trust and vast majority of fans want them to take over from the cretin in charge.

Stay on the board or else who knows what dodgy stuff they’ll push through. BUT the balloting should be along the lines of are you in favour of Fenty leaving the club then the trust need to take a vocal and public anti-Fenty stance

Who knows? There’s probably many of us who acquired membership, like me, through season tickets, and don’t know where they stand.

Dodgy stuff? You mean like accepting a crook into the boardroom.

They should have stood down when that twit was brought in.
