But your point misses mine that your point is not a reason for the current incumbents to remain if they’re not eligible. | |

Just a question not having a go .
Did the trust know of the Chinese billionaire's that wanted to buy the Swans and invest into rebuilding swansea city and bay areas.
The board must of had a big hand shake off the Yanks | | | |

I absolutely agree,I see where you’re coming from now.
Yes if they’re not eligible they need to go though we will still need a group of people to oversee the money in the bank if a deal between the Yanks and the Trust does eventually happen etc. | |

From what Uxbridge posted earlier, I am guessing they have found away so that they are all now eligible.
Which also probably means that there is now no limit as to how long someone can serve on the board.
In my opinion, the limit should be reduced not increased. | |

I agree on both counts. The reasoning behind bypassing the rules will be interesting to say the least. [Post edited 22 Nov 2017 22:11]

Sorry Max, have to pick up on part of that post.
To my knowledge based on the last meeting I attended, there's nobody on the Trust Board that's pushing to accept a lesser deal and certainly not without another vote.
Don't disagree with anything else though. | | | |

Darran I'm not going to be clever on this thread of such importance, but you have to admit that you see things as black and white, yes there are amongst us that are losing the guts for the whole debacle, mainly its lashing out as we aren't able to bring change, I'm a tradesman who knows absolutely very very little about how things work in a boardroom and also how to speak in such places, call it a lack of nous as that would be spot on, I've strong views which you and others know, but getting those views over and influencing people to be of the same mind ain't gonna happen, its not about influence that's the wrong word, but putting a teams idea's together and producing a programme to push that forward into action isn't something I could achieve, foot soldering is another matter though, although with work and my family situation I'm not sure how much time I could give to it, matchdays excluded, even there I work one in three Saturdays.
There's lots of others in probably a similar position, but it doesn't mean they cannot voice an opinion and especially on a Football Forum. | |

Matt - please can you clarify who is on the Trust board and how long has each individual been on the board? | | | |
| New chairman stands down on 22:26 - Nov 22 with 1787 views | exiledclaseboy |
Spot on that. | |
| |
| New chairman stands down on 22:27 - Nov 22 with 1771 views | Darran |
Indeed but I don’t see the point of voicing the same opinions over and over again on a Football Forum for the rest of time. | |

To the question of who’s stepping forward? I know several who might (me included).
The opaque co-opting process where the current board hand picks new board members means that my 250 words aimed at the current Trust board will be very different to what I would write to a broad election with voting by all Trust members.
Without even being able to be certain about the current Trust governance document (e.g. is there a 12 year term limit or not, what constitutes a board quorum, etc.) the muddled farce will continue ... although I suspect a number of current Trust board members will be concluding that the temperature is getting too hot for their liking and decide it’s time to step aside.
If you have nothing to hide you do not fear transparency. | | | |

No mate, no idea sorry. I'd have been safe even if it was a 12 month limit, never mind 12 years.
EDIT - the remaining members are Stuart McDonald, Alan Lewis, Ron Knuszka, Roger Goodwin, Viv Brooks, Viv Williams, Sian Davies, Cath Dyer, Dave Dalton and Uxbridge. Nigel Hamer is Secretary and Dai Little is Legal Affiliate. [Post edited 22 Nov 2017 22:48]

No idea who is still on the board? I can see the list of recent board members on the Trust website, but don’t know who has recently resigned. | | | |

Great Post Lisa. | |

Oh, it'll be along the lines that Shaky was suggesting. Resolution made showing that's what members wanted etc. The bit about time limits wasn't that which caused an issue. It's the only possible argument.
It's not what the rules say, but that's what they'll claim. The condition precedent stated in the minutes (that the resolution was subject to the rules being filed with the FCA) will be ignored or it will be said they were filed (not accepted but perhaps that's not important). As will the statement in the Supporters Direct website I posted yesterday.
It's not like anyone is going to do anything about it. | | | |

Absolutely Brilliant post. | |

Matt - many thanks, I appreciate the help.
So there are 10 current members before any reductions due to the potential 12 year term limit. Do you know how many new members the board plans to appoint?
PS - does Uxbridge have a full name too like the other board members? | | | |

Sorry Matt, but didn't you resign on the very same fact, [or did I read your posts wrong]?
I thought I read that some wanted to continue to negotiate and get back to the original deal, but you wanted to pull out, oh yes I see what you mean now although I did read things [not necessarily from your posts] that some wanted to continue to agree to the Yanks request, I meant have interpreted wrongly there though.
That said it was a poor deal to have agreed to in the first instance all be it on the result of the vote, but for them wanting to move the goal posts after that is a joke. | |
