If the chairman walked or the club went bust then thankfully they could pay one week of Maouche"s wage... What if, like this week, he bags ? Where’s the 10k goal bonus coming from ? Think on...

Attendances down by over 1,000 but Trust membership up to 1000+ is what should be happening #helpsaveyourclubforonly£10bysupportingtheTrust I`ll give you your due, tGWB - you do a great job in promoting the Trust and present some logical thoughts.

He also said he was not making that as a political statement and that all he cared about was the football club. That made me think that the missing fans are starting to hurt and are a subject of some concern behind the scenes. Maamria also emphasised that he wants the fans back. AL must have said something along those lines to him. I don't think the majority of the fans not going any more are deliberately boycotting. They have just decided that the dire quality of football in this division just isn't worth the effort especially when we are just as bad. If we can string some wins together, and have a legitimate chance of the play offs fans will come back. Some will be lost for much longer. A good cup run would also help, but there is no way this current team could have gone to Fulham and won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tGWB Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 6 hours ago, sjk2008 said: I know you’re not trying to compete and this isn’t anything personal at all, I’m just still waiting for you to tell me what difference it would make to Al if the 500+ people who are currently protesting in the way of staying away from home games joined the Trust?! We have an accountant involved with the Trust and they’ve not seen the full accounts for god sake. Unfortunately sjk2008 I cant produce any statistical evidence to support my thoughts. It just strikes me as common sense that AL would more likely (not guaranteed) afford more time to a Trust with over 1000+ members than he would a Trust with 350 members. There are 1000 or so fans that are currently staying away due to a mixed bag of dont like the owners methods and poor standard of football. The only tangible way they can still support their club whilst not attending games is to join the Trust. What does that get youre asking 1. Comfort that as a fan that youre just not shrugging your shoulders n walking away 2. Increases funds for the Trust war chest 3. Strengthens the stature of the Trust when negotiating with the owner (current and new) as they can evidence that they have the support of a high % of our fanbase Regarding your comment on the Trust accountant not having seen the full accounts Its fair to say that if the Trust had not got a 3% shareholding in the club and a legal entitlement to have a representative on the board, that there wouldnt be a cat in hells chance that anyone would be getting to view the clubs accounts Personally I think that AL with his recent appointments of a solicitor, is now slowly coming to terms with some of his legal obligations as the owner of the club and I genuinely believe he will start to open up a little more regarding access to the clubs finances (more because he has to than that he wants to) Tried my best fella to answer your points but admittedly they are more my personal view from the outside looking in than ‘being in the know’ #helpsaveourclubfor£10byjoiningthetrust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
