Seems a little fishy to me, looks like the trust have been shafted here..

What private groups are these that we use to apparently hide stuff? | |

This has always been the issue with this lost soul, he never explains what he means or backs it up with any evidence. Just rolls along making up the opposite to the truth so people engage with him. It's an illness. | |

Isn’t there a private Facebook group then?
Wasn’t there a social media sub group set up for this reason, to create one? | | | |
| Stateside Jack's meeting with club on 09:23 - Feb 17 with 1568 views | jack247 |
Well exactly. They’ve had a conference call and been gagged. Why mention that at all? I’m sure it wasn’t the intention, but that initial tweet just smacks of self importance. It’s achieved nothing but division.
Death threats are just farcical. I’d bet my last pound they haven’t been told anything of consequence. Let’s just be 100% clear that’s just a few lunatic keyboard warriors on twitter. Nothing to do with the trust or the wider fan base at all.
And I agree, absolutely no reason they needed permission from the trust or anyone else to find out which teams we’re playing on the pre season US tour or which colour our away kit will be next season. | | | |

There’s a members’ only Facebook group yes. It’s not used to hide info though. Pretty much everything posted on there is also emailed to members and finds its way on here. The only thing that’s ever been marked as private was based on legal advice and that was a waste of time cos it also inevitably found its way on here. The social media sub group was set up to coordinate the trust’s social media activity. [Post edited 17 Feb 2019 9:29]

I think it’s fairly interesting as a Swansea fan that they have managed to ask questions they feel were important to them. I would rather know they held a meeting than it being a complete secret. I think openness is something to be applauded not criticised, there is no reason that it should create division, like my presence here - they can’t be held accountable for irrational reactions.
I have no idea who is leading, if anyone, the backlash campaign. Not even able to guess as to who it is, but it’s clear the Trust are very salty over this and they gave absolutely no right to be, or the droves of posts on twitter telling them they should have affiliated themselves with the Trust. The Trust have done nothing to earn such levels of auto-respect. In fact, quite the opposite. | | | |

Do you know what...
I'm gonna be very parochial and say that I couldn't give a flying fûck about any yank who has attached themselves to our football club.
As far as I'm concerned they can all fûck off owners and "supporters" alike.
Cûnts the lot of them. | |

Eh?
So there was an open group all fans could see, which was then actively changed to one only certain fans could see, ones that pay you money.
If that isn’t carefully directing information and selectively hiding it then I don’t know what is. | | | |
| Stateside Jack's meeting with club on 09:37 - Feb 17 with 1513 views | jack247 |
That’s your prerogative. To me, it comes across as ‘we know something you don’t know’. That doesn’t bother me, as I said I’d be pretty confident it’s inconsequential anyway. I’m sure that was naivety, rather than the intention.
NDAs are the very opposite of openness. | | | |

I'd liken it to the Brexit negotiations. Pay the subs, get the benefits.
Maybe a tad simplistic, but I'm sure you catch my drift. | |

| Stateside Jack's meeting with club on 09:39 - Feb 17 with 1499 views | exiledclaseboy |
Nope. There’s still an open group that all fans can see. | |

I think it is neither naivety nor intentional malice (as suggested by at least one Trust board member). A meeting between fans and owners representatives is worthy of reporting on, the fact a dialogue took place is interesting information in itself. As I said, it’s not dissimilar to what the Trust do on a daily basis with their private group, apart from they hide the contents by choice as opposed to the SSJ who are legally bound not to share. | | | |
| Stateside Jack's meeting with club on 09:44 - Feb 17 with 1472 views | The_E20 |
Then what on earth was the point in using resources to make a private one.
You are either being selective with the truth or this it yet another horrendous misuse of time. Wasn’t that guy saying how hard he has worked on such mediums of private communications as instructed by the Trust committee? | | | |
| Stateside Jack's meeting with club on 09:46 - Feb 17 with 1466 views | The_E20 |
However you liken it. Those people restricting info in return for payment really can’t be too precious about people withholding information from them (legally). | | | |

Ffs lads, we have a big game today, leave it drop and contribute to the team today.
FA cup quarters we are talking about, lets stretch out the good times on the pitch and concentrate on at least equaling our best FA cup run. | |

I’m telling you the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The logic behind the creation of the members’ only group was to incentivise people to join with “premium content” accessible only to members. In practice both groups contain more or less the same thing except that the open group is much busier and that premium content never really came to fruition. It absolutely wasn’t created to hide important information from non members. The guy you refer to is no longer a board member. Dave Dalton coordinates social media activity now. And a sterling job he does too. | |

This thread is showing up exactly the people who have lost credibility due to their bias towards the American owners and they can do no wrong attitude.
- Holding this forum with an American based fan group in itself - surely the same courtesy & information should be extended to other fans groups.
- asking an American based fan group how they can improve their PR. Words fail me on that one.
- Sticking a NDA on it!!!!
Come on mun, how do you expect normal fans to react to the news of this meeting. It's madness and another own goal by the American owners. | |

By the way, if the Stateside Jacks signed the same NDA that the club wanted the Trust to sign, they’ve already broken it simply by acknowledging publicly that the conversation happened. [Post edited 17 Feb 2019 9:55]

And of course all the other irrelevant noise on this thread is a distraction away from the mess the yanks have made and a blatent attempt to once again discredit the trust, who are completely innocent in this situation. | |

I’m still not understanding ECB.
You seem to be saying the private group is designed to have more information than the public one. I don’t see how that can be anything other than a pre meditated attempt to hide certain things from the general fan - whether that is to inventory a monetary return isn’t really relevant. That information being leaked on here or in the public group also isn’t relevant - unless you are saying it’s leaked by Trust board members.
I think it’s fairly obvious the Trust selectively hides information. I fully agree that votes should be conducted for the membership but the Trust was created by, and for, the whole fanbase and any information held in these private member only platforms should be available to the whole fanbase. | | | |

These sweeping and generalised comments that are becoming all too frequent on here is very cowardly and not productive.
Please put accusations and explanations to the specific target of your post so they can defend themselves or st least explain.
From my experience these are usually made when it would be difficult to defend a specific accusation if pressed. | | | |

The irony and double standards from him is unbelievable, any credibility and trust in him and the Aberdare joker has gone.
Theyve shot their bolt | | | |

Ha ha and I'm the one who's made a sweeping and generalised comment!
What do you actually want from me? Is there any part of my post that you want further clarification on? [Post edited 17 Feb 2019 10:07]

Yes. If I make an accusation I am very specific as I am confident in my convictions that if pushed on it and can defend that position. | | | |
