It’s not bollocks to suggest the trust should not have a person on the board if they want to be seen as impartial and remain a supporters trust.
As an aside why are we relying on a charity and the trust to raise funds for our dilapidated five a side pitch on pearl st. It’s reminiscent of when the club had the big screen in the corner of the wilbutts for one game only then asked fans to pay for it if we wanted it to be made permanent. Massively tinpot. |
I think its worth noting that the Trust approached the club about a project to raise funds for given that its been five years since we made any sort of significant donation to the club, rather than the club coming cap in hand to us asking for money. The club suggested the 5-a-side pitch as given its extensive community use. To our knowledge, there'll be no first team use of it. We put it to the membership and who gave it an unprecedented backing. |  | |  |

I think that a club Board member appointed to the Trust Board/Committee would at some point become conflicted. And remember, a role of the Trust is to represent the interests of the fans to the Club - such representation might be viewed as tainted if a senior representative of the Club is involved in determining the Trust's approach to such matters.
As Judd says in another post on this thread, we all have the best interests of the Club at heart. However, our roles in promoting those interests are different and the respective approaches to governance should recognise and reflect that. With goodwill on all sides open and constructive dialogue will see us through, but our two organisations should remain separate to get on and each do their best in their respective roles.
The question about an invite to Mr Mason has been answered elsewhere - I'm not on the Trust Board so couldn't have answered that one. |
Previously there may have been conflict, but the sea change in recent appointments suggests a whole new ethos, hence my suggestion of an invite to the Trust to appoint a director to the board.
Previously a couple of concerned fans paid to investigate a director, with the outcome that the director was removed. Years before that a fan stopped the ruination of the club by Cannon by outing his shareholding at an AGM.
I think a Trust nominated director would help out any other directors who are not fit and proper. |  |

Think we'll have to accept that Judd and I differ on this one.
Just a query on the sea change and new ethos points - has anyone actually seen or heard anything from our new CE? I can't recall anything between the article and interview on the club website announcing his arrival and the article announcing his appointment as an executive Director. |  | | |
