Hands up if I'm wrong but the way everything went flat from the Trusts end with regards to the protest last season was all a bit weird for me. Although past performance is no indicator of future performance (as the saying goes) :- Barry Owen - Trust director - resigned and became a Latics director Simon Brooke - Trust director - resigned and became a Latics director..... Sincerely hope it doesn't happen again (and to be fair I think the current Trust director put something in writing that he promised not to become a Latics director - albeit the promise was "time bound").

Brooke was trust director throughout his tenure as Latics Director - he resigned to take up the commercial role with Lemmy as an employee. Barry resigned because everyone thought he was a twat and Corney let him keep his seat on the board so he fucked the trust off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 There is a strange alchemy with people who get involved with the club, having been just a fan. As soon as they see the boardroom or the chairman’s office, all sins are forgiven and we get a version of Barry’s favourite line. . ‘What the fans have got to realise is. .’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be honest lees, sometimes I just like going with a word in the moment. Most of the time it’s to sound more intelligent than I am, some of the time it’s because I’m a free spirit. An very occasionally I have no idea what it actually means, but throw it in anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except to occasionally say “We have a dedicated part of this forum if you like to put your questions there so we don’t hijack (a thread asking the very questions the trust should be) this thread” ** whispers : “we’ll ignore you there too plebs” maybe Darren is what meant when he said “the fan” Trust are a waste of fucking space We've found the fan!!
