Hopefully James Cairney sticks with his pursuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be banned and then the ban will be lifted due to ‘positive representations from PTFC Trust’. That’s how it goes these days, yeah? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its doing the reputation of the Club real damage. They must be so far removed from reality not to see this?

This document retrofits the solution that 3BC arrived at a while back. It’s like a fresh of glass paint on rotten windowsills. PTFC Trust have no track record of engaging with or representing fans. It’s like when the Tories awarded a ferry contract to a company that had no ferries. ETA “continue the regular dialogue with fans” eh whit?

stolenscone Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 I've read it a couple of times now. I'm struggling to see anything of any real substance in it, if I'm being honest. Six pages of words that don't really tell me anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljaggo Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 I've just read this dreadful document. Apart from the nauseous cliches and the (not so) carefully worded evasions of the key issues, it contains at least one outright lie: "Democratic – The board of the PTFC Trust are elected by the beneficiaries." They don't even have the wit to couch the statement in the future tense to allow for change. They, and their boss Low, are taking us for fools. In what other business would a shareholder with 75% of the shares not determine the Chair of the Board, far less have no seat at all on the board, or its decisions. With zero shares once 3BC pass the shares to the PTFC Trust, what is the justification for Low's presence on the Board. TJF are in danger of becoming mired in the minutae of this farrago. Stick to the basics: Who appointed the present Trustees and when? When will PTFC trust hold elections for Trustees? What document prevents the Trust exercising its votes on Board decisions, especially w.r.t. Board composition and operational matters? Keep it simple TJF!

fifexile Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) One representative on the board falls well short of any sort of fan ownership model that I'd find acceptable. Never mind everything else in the 6 pages of nonsense. Edited August 26, 2022 by fifexile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. It should be a partnership with 2-3 fan reps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
