can I ask why this wasn’t made public at the time? The trust is funded by and is for the fans? The fact directors resign due to not trusting the board rep is huge?? 
 

concerns about Darren were and have been made with no comment from Trust past or present? This stinks 

I think it was mentioned in the January update on the website and then in the published Jan/Feb meeting notes (granted they were published by the trust in July after we had left).

I posted them in the pinned Trust thread above. It was put on the Trust website face book page and on hear.

Forgot to add, mine and Mark's resignation was not formally accepted by the Trust board, but the paper work was strangely done at Companies house before the March meeting.....it was never acknowledge by the Trust wither, which saddened me as I had served 6 years and Mark had served five years.

yeah - he’s been sooooo trustworthy since, slagging off fans blocking those who question him- we will see - as a trust rep he’s been nothing but a disgrace 

Hence why myself and a fellow director resigned after the February Trust meeting and as per the Trust meeting notes state. Personally, we could no longer trust him

Fair play amongst the crap that he talks about he enjoyed his time with us by the sounds of it! 
 

He was so close to giving some nuggets on Barry Owen but got distracted and never came back to him. 
 

Absolute class prank on Ollie Banks. 
 

Interesting to hear his sacking was overturned and was paid off before leaving. 

I like the "slap" story with regards to the Chesterfield dust off...hahah

love him or hate him....Mr Gerrard on his career. His experiences with us are about 1hour, 44 mins 30 in approx and 30 mins of  chat....

Touches on Corney and Al, some funny stories too....Lots of swearing I am afraid NOT for the little ones

The whole reason I started this thread was the claim that staffing was being dranatically reviewed due to wastage by Corney and by implication costs were excessive.

The other reason was to show that in effect each job had simply been replaced, and that in itself attracts some costs, and it was more likely to find the mole than serious staff performance issues. Given where we are now, and were, been a costly and time consuming excercise, but ulimately fruitless.

Then you have to factor in the cost of the employment tribunals too. I recall about 6.

I have applied for one of these. The closing date is next Friday, I think. I'm expecting a big fat custard pie to the face, but I thought it was well worth a go...

If they were savvy enough, they should give it it you just to gag you via some sort of employee code with regards to personal social media output...hahah

Great

Maybe we don't need a manager/coach then. It would save a wage if Barry did it....hahah

Didn't Joe Royle end up there with his son as chairman at some time?

They are both listed as directors on the website

Oh dear

However I have just seen this on a FB page about our HMRCwind up order being dismissed as paid. Good news if true

Mo Sylla gone I hear.

I have seen this too on a latics FB site. 

French league? There is a link to his new club welcoming him and a photo in his new kit....its at least tangerine.

He was not too bad for us

I am also confused how my resignation and fellow director who left at the same time (feb), have not had our resignations accepted by the trust board. Yet Companies house was updated before the March meeting took place?

Two more have since left and the correct process seems to be going ahead with them two. No mention in June meeting

I will have to flag this

did he not play in probably one of the last matches at BP for the opposition?

I liked him

From FSA/SD guidelines on SLO

Supporter Liaison Officers
A Supporter Liaison Officer (SLO) is a selected person responsible for building bridges between the club and its fans. SLOs may be volunteers or employees. An SLO should communicate fans’ opinions to a club’s board or senior staff members, and should also liaise with stewards, police and counterparts at opposition clubs.

As per Rudemedic post above:

Do clubs have to do it?
Working with Supporters Direct, UEFA introduced a licensing requirement in the 2012/13 season for all clubs across Europe to appoint a Supporter Liaison Officer to ensure proper and constructive discourse between them and their fans.

What does good look like?
• The ideal situation would be for a full-time SLO but SLOs do not have to be employed full-time. They can also work on a part-time or voluntary basis (3 ideally if voluntary).
• A team of ‘match day’ SLOs can also be employed. West Ham have stated a desire to take on up to 50 match day Supporter Liaison Officers to improve the match day experience for supporters.

• A clear job description, reporting process and where the SLO fits in within an organisational structure/chart.

• SLOs should have a clear and visible presence at every game so that they can be a point of contact for supporters and can help address situations.
• Full contact details including email addresses, social media handles and phone numbers for SLOs should be made accessible to supporters via club websites, match day programmes and other means of communication.
• They actively seek contact with fans with the aim of presenting themselves as the club’s point of contact,listening to the requests and concerns of fans and communicating these requests and concerns to the club.
• The SLO must be credible with fans and should therefore have experience with and contacts to the networks in the fan base at the club.
• Participation in the club’s Safety Advisory Group (SAG) is recommended.

Find the right person:
Selecting the Supporter Liaison Officer Responsibility for selecting the supporter liaison officer lies with the club management.
• Where possible, the supporter liaison officer should be appointed from among the fans.
• The supporter liaison officer should be in regular contact with fans and enjoy their respect and acceptance based on his or her personality and
aptitude.
• Where possible, the supporter liaison officer should be given appropriate training, for example in the areas of communication, people management and conflict resolution. The provision of basic psychology and sociology skills, in particular with regard to group dynamics, is desirable.

Best wishes to Pat Cluskey who is recovering from major surgery.

Now Pat has tweeted hopefully the club will also put something out asap.

He was at the fan forum...in a wheelchair and I did not recognise him at all. 

I had only met him twice previously, last time in August  and he must have lost 2 stone. I spent most of the night thinking I know him but could not place him at all.

It was such as shock when I found out later who he was and that he was ill.

Like us all, I wish him a speedy recovery

Didn't the Necaru loan get paid off last month? 

Does Companies house actually state the date it was paid, or just the date it was logged as settled?

He said he put £200k in last month, he didn't say every month. I suspect there were other bills to pay.

I think he did say on a radio interview it was about £200k a month

On another note, has Chaddy the Owl been sacked?? Wasn't there on Saturday or against Crewe, apparently..

Wayne retired over Summer after 14years of service. 

Sad that the club did not acknowledge it. The Trust did

His son offered to do it but the offer was not taken up.

I have seen chaddy at one home game this season. 

Dear all

Please find a link below and an update with regards to the North stand  - thanks

Myself and Andy will take your comments and suggestions to the Trust meeting this week - thank you

I’m still amazed at this response.

 

Thats my Trust membership being cancelled today.

That is my naivety as an individual without experience of running a business myself. 

I meant it as in evidence of court cases HMRC, default on contracts/taken to court/wind up orders, that kind of stuff. Rather than settled out of court , or possible impending things that have been suggested like pensions, or filing of accounts late. Potential markers of things that are not right

So, I apologies and accept this is my error.

You will have contact emails from the Trust, so please forward an email that you want to cancel and this will stop follow up emails the system sends you.
