Site Supporter MickyD Posted November 26, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted November 26, 2017 Two thoughts 1) Only 2500 people care enough about the Whites to join the ST 2) The ST is a non-entity and doesn't represent the majority of Whites supporters. I know which I think. And of that 2500, they couldn't find another person to stand for being a committee member? What was the criteria for eligibility to stand? I assume there was a criteria.

Traf Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 And of that 2500, they couldn't find another person to stand for being a committee member? What was the criteria for eligibility to stand? I assume there was a criteria. You had to be a paying member and have your application backed by three more paying members and you had to agree to attend a "meet the candidates" evening. I considered running, but decided it was too much hassle. They had to have an election, so they made it so that the group of 3 plus their mate Mike could still run this ego-driven vehicle.

Mounts Kipper Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) And neither does anybody else. The ST is irrelevant, the sooner they jack it in the better It will be irrelevant until it becomes relevant, hopefully it wont ever be relevant as that will mean we are not in danger of going out of business. I am happy some folk out there are willing to keep it going in the meantime, just in case. Edited November 27, 2017 by Mounts Kipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts Kipper Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 They don't have any money. It may be the only chance we have of saving the club should the shit hit the fan, it might only be the last chance saloon scenario but I would prefer that than nothing. I think we now know it is highly unlikely we are ever going to find any fucker interested in buying the club and putting serious money into the club and that the only viable alternative to that might be a community/fan owned club and if that is the case so be it rather that than go bust.

Mounts Kipper Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 when did that happen? That’s the point clubs been available for fuck all for a long time and it’s not happened and not been close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we become a bit more attractive as we reduce our liabilities (mainly continue to reduce the wage bill) - although I'm not holding my breath for a saviour to come to our rescue in the immediate future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big clubs turning the heads of youngsters then hoarding them doesn't help though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Derik and dervite at the start of the season and the 2 West Ham lads still got signed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Surely we must jettison some players in January, even if it means loaning some out and seeking a contribution to their wages. It's OK saying that, but who would really want to take any of our players on loan? I think, if we can, then the West Hammers will be sent back. Amos seems to be having a decent season at Charlton, so hopefully they'll take him off our hands on a free transfer at some point, as he's still the highest paid player at the club, even though it's highly likely he'll never play for us again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
