    What was it that you had high hopes for the Trust doing?

    "Odious views."

    There aren't many stronger words than odious.

    So I'd love to know what particular views me, the Trust or any other trust director has ever expressed which warrants such extreme language.

    I wait with baited breath. Just like every other time I've pulled him up on it.

    Come on, mate. That's not why people think you're "stupid enough".

    It's not about that Dennis.

    If you were bored enough to go back and look, you could find a history of this stuff going back literally years. Ultimately Happy seems to absolutely hate me... because I absolutely hate the Allams and don't hold back in saying so. It really is as simple as that. I've never actually done anything beyond get into arguments with him on here. Sometimes he hates OLM too, but other times he pretends to be more pally having previously called OLM all the names under the sun, in order to present a contrast against whoever he wants to go to town on, usually me.

    There's a very long-running theme of Happy just outright making stuff up about the trust or its directors, usually me. Usually I'm not even involved in the conversation. If I can be arsed I usually challenge it, but he can't possibly reply because it's completely fabricated. Like this "odious views" thing. He's hoping that someone uninformed will read it and assume that a trust director has expressed some really extreme standpoint at some time. No smoke without fire right? It's basically a one man propaganda campaign. It's really ****ed up and I can't stand the dishonesty of it.

    Ehab has openly acknowledged the fans want them out and they want out, what exactly will protests achieve?

    Ehab saying "Oh yes, we were pretty sure before but now we're absolutely sure."?

    Not saying protests will necessarily make a difference, but Ehab's actions have never matched those of someone looking to sell. We know he's a liar so his words should be disregarded.

    I think he's very comfortable just ticking along as he is. He probably gets a bit of stick in the street now and then but he's happy taking that and still being able to say he owns a football club when he's with the polo boys. If it was possible to make him motivated to sell through protests then I'd be right behind them.

    For some people though I think it's just cathartic. They want to make a noise about it and for the media etc to pick it up and just be heard. Again, whether that makes it the best course of action or not is another question.

    But that's my point, if he's a liar and doesn't want to sell, but acknowledges the fans want him and the family out, what more will they achieve?

    If it's cathartic, go ahead, but it's pointless if people think it'll actually make a difference.

    I do realise you're not best mates!
    I'm not taking sides on that, but also that view (that the Trust could do things better) isn't just Happy's either so it's still a question worth asking

    I am genuinely interested what those who are disappointed in the Trust but originally had high hopes think should be done specifically that isn't being done

    Pretty much spot on this. Bores me to tears sometimes when happy starts talking ****e. He'll probably chalk that last sentence up for the trust having odious views despite me being hardly abusive and the fact I have **** all to do with them.

    They've got nothing... it's been asked on here numerous times but I've not heard a decent response yet personally. Well, nothing that isn't completely idealistic and lacking any suggested actions.

    The only poster I can think of who could be said to have had high hopes for the trust is DMD. Others like Happy moaned from the very inception of CTWD, through the formation of the trust to where we are today, and are completely disingenuous by pretending any differently.

    I would observe that this isn't a thread about the Trust, and isn't being embellished by being so. I regret my part in making it veer in that direction.

    Maybe not quite so simple as this, but very close ...

    This isn't true. Prospective owners got to the stage of being disqualified by the FA; I believe this was adequate evidence of clear intent. I don't think the process of selling a football club should be over simplified.

    The FA nor PL never announced anything about having blocked it. Assem just gleefully declared it to anyone who'd listen at a bloke's funeral.

    I think you know what it is that he holds you to account for; think back to your rather unfortunate remarks about inherent faults in the charactor of Africans.

    The truth is that most folk understood you were not being racist, just inept. Happy has decided to hang on to that as a barb to strengthen the nonsense he posts about the Trust.

    He's wrong to do that. Happy made a similar error over the concessions, when he totally misjudged the weight of opinion and posted that he was happy to take the savings and bugger the kids and pensioners - not exactly what he wrote, but it fairly reflects the sentiment that came across.

    We picked him up on it, he eventually changed tack and we eventually dropped it and moved on. Happy should do that with you, as it reflects quite poorly against him.
