Tonight's Trust Meeting

Fbreath said:
Is this all real or is someone making a comedy sketch of an inept trust?

As some of the stuff coming out would be comedy gold if it wasn’t so sad what was happening


I'm really upset I'd muted my microphone.
I was p1ssing myself with some of the stuff they were coming out with. Although totally gobsmacked at the same time, that they'd actually said some of the things they did.
Think a couple of them had forgot the saying "when you're in a deep hole, stop digging"
 
They held a meeting to inform members of the details of the deal AND THEY DON’T KNOW THE DETAILS OF THE DEAL.

Phil picking them up for giggling at a person making a statement.

It wasn't even the snigger that did it - certain board members must have forgotten their camera was on as I caught three shaking their heads and muttering when the board was being challenged.
 
Rupert refusing to answer valid questions from Lisa was unforgiveable

And then it was aimed to try and get them answered in private - it only tells us that the answers will just weaken the deal even more. Assuming they had considered the points in the first place.

I’m glad Jonathan C isn’t my lawyer. Barely knew an answer to some pretty straight questions


I do think he'd manage to get the 5 year sentence reduced to the Death Penalty in an official secrets act case :lol:

So the shares are not worth a w**k, then basically.


Between all the gumph and waffle that was being sprouted, that's what I thought.
But that's the same as I felt 2 hours before listening to the gumph and waffle

Certainly squirming at certain questions
Certainly taking an avoid answering at any cost approach to others.

Even coming out with the bs at the end to Andy. Constantly "we inherited"
We had our disagreements when Andy was on the board, but I never thought, let alone implied he was a lying B'satrd.
Phil picking them up for giggling at a person making a statement.
Them saying "we'll have a look at your questions and maybe answer them" to Lisa.
In other words "we'll answer with that's under NDA"

No definitive "we'll issue a statement stating the action was never against the club" Certainly thought I had voted (twice) for action against the sellers not the club

I understand that the Trust had a duty of care to try and negotiate a settlement out of court, but to be fast approaching the 6 year point without being further forward than we were, is also unacceptable.
Previous and present Trust board members need to accept their part in this debacle.

Me?
Not fuken impressed with the whole attitude of those leading the meeting.
Their actions this week, have in my honest opinion, sold the Trust membership past and present, down the river.
Certainly well passed No confidence

How hard could it be to issue another short press release to clarify the statement? If they won't do that then what hope any meaningful partnership work moving forward?

He wasn’t so much refusing, that was an excuse to mask the fact that he didn’t have the first clue how to answer the questions.

Lisa’s just made it crystal clear that they literally haven’t got a clue what it is they’ve signed up for.

It's all so depressing. They are either as thick as pigshit, or something more sinister is going on. I'm voting pigshit.

I'm going sinister. It has to be. Nobody is stupid enough to knowingly enter into this.

The cynical part of me cannot see past certain board members being too close to certain shareholders. I simply cannot understand how we have reached this point via good intentions.
 
Uxy said:
Their answers to me on whether they had sufficient funding in place to pursue litigation only confirmed they were too risk averse to do it. If so, they should have stepped aside and let someone else take a crack.

Or at least come back to Trust members for further dialogue. This is an absolute minimum that I expect.

But he has years of experience

Couldn't actually begin to articulate exactly what that experience was mind

100%. No doubt about it.

Just a general thought, we need to be very careful in how we word things.
 
Sigh.

I can’t understand how the lawyers couldn’t answer my questions. They may have seemed technical / boring but they are genuinely bog standard for this sort of situation. And crucial. Without the protections I mentioned the deal is worth nothing as they can just get rid of it. I worry that they trust what will happen. Not with these shareholders necessarily but with any old Petty that takes us over in the future.

On a side note, I think we can safely say that Rupert isn’t my biggest fan…
