Kenny has come out with another one of his columns.

Again he’s asking for 20k crowds.

 

This time, he says it can help add 3 million to our budget, for the transfer window.

 

A bit bonkers isn’t it ?

Would it not be a good thing if the ST popped up every now and then and said "Things are going OK for now, but just to remind people that we are still here" and/or at least send a bit of praise out towards the owners and/or team every now and then, so at least look like they're half interested in KA making a success of things.

 

It just seems, to me,  like the ST really want KA to fail so that they can step in - if that's correct, then it's very wrong indeed

I think now the ST know they have no chance of running the club. But initially when they formed, that absolutely was their ambition. They wanted to own it and run it. And in fact one of those involved in the trust creating said "better to be a non-league or league 2 fan owned club than be in the premiership with a wealthy owner". That was their mantra. Bridge tried to put a respectable face on it all, saying that they wanted to "be custodians" but very much some of those initially involved hated the idea of wealthy individuals running clubs.

Another fair point and I think that they should do just that. 

You are hiding behind technicalities here. You know full well that the ST board was and is linked in opinion to the likes of Bowyer and the Smurf fella. The ST itself took every opportunity to snipe in passive aggressive ways when things were tricky and now they are silent.

 

 

I don't know that but I am not looking at every tweet and looking round every corner to find an issue. I would prefer if Smurf and Bower speak for the board and ultimately the trust then it was not a smoke and mirrors situation as seems the current state of affairs. If these allegations are true it begs the question as to why Smurf and Bower are not board members.

The fact still remains that if we ever did go into admin then it’s very possible the trust would be the only saviour at that stage.

 

And 14 minutes later when the trust had run out of money...

 

If Ken or similar can't keep the club afloat, how the fuckery would the Trust manage?

The fact still remains that if we ever did go into admin then it’s very possible the trust would be the only saviour at that stage. I’d feel that the trust would only be the holding position while another owner was found (that’s what happened at Pompey) I prefer that safety net to the alternative which might just be a winding up order, whether you like the board members or not that’s got to be the lesser of 2 evils, hasn’t it?

 

the trust have no money so will not be an option. People think it will just magically save us. there would still be bills to pay. 

 

Chester is fully run by a trust and is constantly fucked and in turmoil. its just not as easy as folk think. 

 

the fact remains they never cam back with any "High Net Worth" investors. i strongly believe the people involved would just try for a quick buck and leave us fucked.

Unicorns, mate.

And why would they be the preferred option?

 

What would be stopping any other group of fans from taking control?

From Nicko:

 

Follow the trail. Anderson said there was a buyer whose assets were frozen. Check the guest list under house arrest at the Ritz Carlton in Jeddah at the time ????

Half the Saudi royals (and there's 100's of them) were/are under house arrest in various plush hotels across the country.

Narrows it down to half the Saudi royal family - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Saudi_Arabian_purge

I reckon its Bin Laden - I seem to remember he was after getting involved in English football a bit back

He knows even less than Iles these days

I think the ST have shot their bolt tbh

I have always agreed with mounts that they could be the port of last resort in a crisis but Christ cant even organise a AGM

Its painful in that it could have been so different with a ST supportive of our owners efforts & independant at the same time a balance that would have kept most fans onside.

Missed opportunity I reckon bit like Deanos 'effort' at Wembley.

Whilst I agree with your sentiment, I’m still of the opinion we should have a Trust, if it came to the crunch and it was needed I’m convinced that fans would come out of the woodwork and the Trust would morph from what it is today.

Let's put this to bed once and for all, shall we?

 

The Trust couldn't run a fucking bath, never mind a football club.

Thats not true is it

You have no clue to who might get involved if the worst did happen, I’ve no doubt that should the worst happen folk with the required skills would come forward to help, hopefully it’d be only a short term situation while a proper owner was found. Let’s hope it never comes to that though.

Don't tell garrp that ffs

Who?

Who?

The chap who loves short corners and threatened Sober Dan.

Might?

I'm talking about the trust as it stands now.

 

Plus I've little to zero faith in them being able to attract the money needed.

There’s some decent folk involved behind the main board and I’ve no doubt if ever it was needed there would be plenty of big hitters who have BWFC at heart would get involved.
