laticsmarra Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Really appreciated what you are doing,but soon as you are appointed, you gravitate to the club Director role in the posh seats. Why not reject all that on a Saturday afternoon and sit with your mates. Why not demonstrate to the outside world that we are the true supporters and reject the suits and the world that Barry has reinventied as supporter's involvement.

If I was the fan on the board, I'd milk it for all it was worth. I certainly wouldn't be rubbing shoulders with my mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) If I was the fan on the board, I'd milk it for all it was worth. I certainly wouldn't be rubbing shoulders with my mates. More to the point it's important that he doesn't get to close to the fans he's wisely stopped posting on here. It's a tough juggling act on one hand he can't get to close to the club like his predecessor as the fans won't trust him but he can't be too close to the fans or the board will also distrust him. I think we have to appreciate he has a tough job in this respect he won't keep everyone happy but I think it's better than nothing.

If the club didn't trust him because he got too close to the fans then alarm bells would definitely be ringing. The fans are the club. It's not a case of milking it OR sacking it off and sitting with the fans. He's now a director of the club - that has matchday responsibilities and is a massive part of what the Trust do to help out the club but also keep an eye on things for the fans. It's not the free ride that people presume it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Kingsley Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 If the club didn't trust him because he got too close to the fans then alarm bells would definitely be ringing. The fans are the club. . Exactly. If a situation ever occurs where the board make a decision that is blatantly against the interests of the club what would happen? Would the trust guy inform the fans and resign from the board? Genuine question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disjointed Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Exactly. If a situation ever occurs where the board make a decision that is blatantly against the interests of the club what would happen? Would the trust guy inform the fans and resign from the board? Genuine question. I would have thought the fans would be informed via the trust meetings, but why would he resign? Someone has to be the fan on the board, it would be like a game of musical chairs.

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I can't begin to understand the land or company splits shenanigans. Don't know if this one is specifically for the Trust, but what I'd like to know is why so many transfer deals are undisclosed and how they relate to the numbers we see in the papers. It's about transparency really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
