Reply | Who is renewing trust membership?
at 11:08 18 Aug 2017
I'm really undecided. I voted to maintain the status quo and see what happens. I think it's a big mistake to sell the Trust's shares, even if there's a cash windfall.
I think there's been a real crisis of confidence within the Trust and obviously from people across the spectrum on here and elsewhere.
I think there is a real need for an effective voice for the supporters and a strong and transparent vehicle to hold the club to account on behalf of the fans. The Trust is the obvious vehicle to do this and has been a force for good in the past.
Times change and with success and progress come very different challenges in both scale and complexity. The Trust looks like a cottage industry compared to the way the business of football is conducted in reality.
I think there needs to be a full and frank review of what the Trust's objectives actually are. There needs to be a widening participation strategy to get more people to take the Trust seriously and motivate people to get involved.
I don't doubt the motivation and hard work the people involved in the Trust have put in. But from the 'outside' the events of the last year or so and the response haven't been up to the job in my opinion. It's easy to criticise from a distance, but I'm seriously worried about how the Trust can progress and make a meaningful, effective contribution to the turbulence to come. STID. |
