Just tossing this in, as an "outsider":
Might it just be the case that, despite all the headlines, fanfares about fans' shares, "trusts" and the like over the past few years;..... despite all the open meetings, supporters input, "elections," and so on, that at the end of all of that, PTFC in reality remains "owned" by one individual, whose desires will be imposed on other "directors" (who in truth have negligible directing abilities or powers and no real options but to serve as yes men (or women) if they wish to retain their "official" positions)?
Is that what it has come to?
