Seeing as they have to write to some of the members to ballot them, we could have new owners by then given the state of the postal service right now.
Agree. Could bypass them completely. |

Although im a member of the Trust, i have never taken any active involvement, and perhaps like other Members i should have done so.
Ive spent half my life being involved in the machinations of commitees, elections, ballots, and all that goes with it, i had decided i'd had enough and didnt wish to be involved with it anymore. whats the point of being up aginst the barricade, only to look back and find the support you were promised has gone? It's no good griping and whinging about the people who were elected to a position if we couldn't care enough to be bothered to cast our vote, and that includes myself.
No organisation can run without the involvement of it's Members, otherwise it becomes a Dictatorship, and we have all seen that happening at our Club.
Some people want positions in an organisation for their own self interest, some because they feel they should, but in my experience most agree to do it because no one else is willing to do it. I don't know about the present Trust Committee, I don't know them, perhaps I should, but, we are where we are with two members on the Board, only there as a result of handing over to JF the shares that were freely given to the Trust by Michael Parker, rather than letting JF get his hands on them.
Unfortunately he got them anyway, I didnt vote for that either, perhaps I should have cast my vote then, but I didnt, but I will this time, just to keep those two Trust Members on the board, whoever they are now, or who they may be in the future, at the very least to have some sort of input on behalf of the supporters they are there to represent, and to watch over proceedings, otherwise JF will have won, and that gift of shares to the Trust will have been in vain.
But it's also the duty of Trust Members to become more active, or, "Who Will Watch The Watchers"
Well they didn't have much influence in stopping that criminal getting into B.P. Or didn't they think the supporters would be outraged? |

Choosing to pick out one singular part of a sentence is quite pedantic, but much to be expected. |

It was a serious question to a point you made but obviously cannot back your statement up by answering it. |

I'm quite indifferent about the Trust right now but,
It wasn't the Trust that handed the shares over it was the membership. I am a lifetime member of the Trust and voted in favour (regrettably) of the transfer. I was under the impression that JF threatened to sell our star players unless he got what he wanted. Like a lot of fans, I panicked and voted in favour.
How do we know they didn't play a part in the 'May Gate' uncovering?
We know they have certainly played a part in facilitating talks between the Day and the consortium. If the takeover is successful then the Trust will have played a part in the clubs new era.
If the takeover is to be completed then naturally it suits the Trust to be part of this new board.
I think by not publically outing May they have shown the prospective new owners they can keep to an NDA.
Perhaps someone from the Trust could clarify, is there a maximum number of years someone can serve on the Trust board?

I'm sorry mate if i misinterpreted your post , the point you referred to is not something i considered in my original post about the trust and i cant answer it, only the Trust Board Members can, but i would doubt that they had much to do with May's invitation, but everything to do with alerting certain people about it. I would also assume that the person who had been a guest of Her Majesty was also by invitation a guest of His Majesty King John. |
