Cannot believe the Trust would be so naive as to  gift the shares unconditionally to Fenty. Surely they must have had the foresight to envisage the situation he may at some point wish to dispose of his shares.Shocking lack of due diligence.


Eh?

Did you not read Barralads post? It was voted for by 80% of it's members, rightly or wrongly. Anyone who was not a member at the time has no business calling them out for it.

I think the Trust's participation at Board level was seen as a "Holy Grail" . I'm sure we all wanted to have our representatives telling John Fenty our point of view. In reality, we've ended up with the Trust reps being bound by confidentiality on Board meetings, therefore they're now completely stuck in a cul-de-sac.  
It must now be very difficult for the Trust to go public with any issue where they could be accused of leaking Board information. Equally their two votes are easily outvoted at a Board meeting.
The inability to protest, expose or fight for the rights of supporters can't be right and if the latest Consortium offer is genuine, let's hope a new understanding is worked out to enable the Trust to operate as a lot of people on here seem to want it to do.
And by the way, those that are working for the Trust, I applaud their efforts - cut them & they'll bleed black and white. Maybe though, time for a refocus and rethink as to the role the Trust play.
All of GTFC's problems arn't going to fixed in one day, so let's unite behind the main objective of removing the current regime.

I was a member and nobody asked me to vote,beside how cannot they forsee him wanting to get rid of his shares at some point very negligent.


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.

It’s worth remembering that The Trust’s two seats on the board are there regardless of who is majority shareholder. John Fenty isn’t Grimsby Town FC, although we know he likes to make out he is. He will be gone, whether in 12 hours, 12 weeks or 12 years, and the fans will have a voice in the boardroom once his dictatorship ends.

Given that we are probably days away from getting a new board which, on the face of it, appears to value customer/member involvement, the Trust might be well placed going forward.

yoda, if you are not a member of the Trust, then it's got feck all to do with you how it operates, what it does, and what it chooses to do. if you're that bothered about it, then pay your money and then get involved  


How many people are members Forza?, any idea (I am)
