    • Secretive democracy won't work — A Worboys, Tue May 15 20:27
      I'm afraid in this day of information technology and social media, organisations which want to engage with people simply cannot by-pass them. I fully appreciate the need for confidentiality over... more

    • "he said the trust should have consulted supporters....". Hm (nm — Twiggy, Tue May 15 19:05
      • He doesn't say that — Baldric, Tue May 15 19:22
        Consulting 'supporters' would be to include in the decision making process people who were not Trust members and in a sense have opted out of membership. Simply being a fan doesn't entitle you to... more
        • Sorry, he does, para 3. However, I agree that — Twiggy, Tue May 15 19:46
          Not every decision should be put to members, or supporters, but there are some things that DO need to be discussed before massive changes are made, in their name. The company will have to take a deal ... more

          • See my answer to BTT — Baldric, Tue May 15 19:52
            I think though the use of the word supporter is a shorthand for member of the supporters trust rather than all fans. Without being an expert in the operation of the Trust, the press release that they ... more

          ...of it's members then it should be open to scrutiny. After whatever secret deal is struck with Hayes, I hope subsequent issues and developments proposed are properly consulted and open. No more... more
          • I don't disagree — Baldric, Tue May 15 19:45

            • Refer everything back? No, but think about what you're about — Twiggy, Tue May 15 20:17
              To do and agree to. At least tell the membership on this HUGE change? Too much to ask, or is there something unpalatable to hide?
              • Exactly, Twiggy. — Bill Turnbull's Twitch, Tue May 15 20:57
                This is why I am waiting until any announcement is made before I make a judgement on whether to join the trust, buy a season ticket for the first time ever etc etc. Whatever happens, the trust needs... more
            • I don't think you understand why they 'walked away'! — Twiggy, Tue May 15 19:50
              It was to allow the trust board to better function with Beeks and Hayes in that situation, from what I understand.. They expected to be included in some dialogue when the situation was obviously... more
