I’ve been critical of them under Fenty but it’s not their fault Artell is a charlatan. Nevertheless, I hope that they will be reflecting the views of the fans/their members to the owners.

Quoted from BraStrap
Does it actually do anything?

I looked on Wikipedia and this is what it says:

In British sports, a supporters' trust is a formal, democratic and not-for-profit organisation of fans who attempt to strengthen the influence of supporters over the running of the club they support.

Ours seems to run bars, raise funds and have lofty goals.



Well..I’ve two responses to that…

1. Yes, they do lots. Not all seen. Tremendous amount of work organising things for kids, within community, helping people. Together with lots of activities/involvement of youngsters on match days to get them ‘into’ the club. Furthermore various assistance in fundraising activities, help with/for past players, and the aforementioned by others board input..I could go on..and on..

2. The trust roles are voluntary. Plenty people give up their own time, and family time to help others. For no gain. They do it because they are supporters of the club, care, and want to help.
They deserve nothing but praise..not knocking because certain fans aren’t getting what they want..I’d suggest rather than taking to a keyboard and whinging - if you want to do better, or even help …then get yourself volunteering, contributing and making a difference. Only a few weeks back there was opportunity to put yourself forward. But I guess you didnt…..

This assumes it was an obviously poor appointment. It wasn’t at the time and from my recollection a good majority of fans were happy with it.

It’s turned out to be, for whatever reason. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, not available to people having to make decisions like it is people commenting on them months later.


Did a good majority of fans think it was a good appointment?

Not sure I agree with the view that the majority thought it was a good appointment. There were many (including me) who were very sceptical and as time and games have gone by, that number has only increased.

I'd say this was the least inspired fan reaction to an appointment that I can recall. It was mostly positive, but there were definitely people, myself included, that thought his record at Crewe was poor and his interviews were incoherent and narcissistic.

Even Slade ii was generally well received despite the cloud he left under.

I didn’t say universal but to say it was thought to be a bad appointment by the majority is just demonstrably not true.
