    I think it might round off their narrative too.

    And anyone else wondering "what the xxxxx", at one of the first meetings it was agreed the board could act without referring back to the membership. It would appear this has given Geoff Bielby carte blanche to very much do his own thing.

    It would be impossible to achieve anything if you had to refer every decision back to members.
    I don’t find anything odd at all in the Trust giving backing to a group that has said they want to involve the Trust closely in the running of the club, in fact I’d be thinking ‘what the ****’ if they hadn’t taken up the offer right now
    Can easily step back if it isn’t as suggested

    Involving the trust in buying the club doesn't, well to me it doesn't, fall into the every decision category.

    Not that I am opposed to the idea, just a few people asking questions of trust members, who are as much in the dark, and I tried to explain why.

    I've been critical of what I believe is poor communication from the trust, however, I can see why the committee would have to engage to find out all of the details, before they presumably put it to the members.

    I don’t know anything more than you, do I could be wrong, but I didn’t read it as the Trust buying the club at all.
    It read to me like the people who might buy the club want the fans involved, not ownership, so the Trust are ‘backing’ those prospective buyers, by being publicly supportive of them

    I don't understand it who would be the chairman making the decisions, would we take turns or sort it properly with a not606 poll? They have been proven to not be trustworthy after the minogue sister debacle

    Maybe it’s the Minogue’s that are behind the bid?!

    Can only assume you have never read Le Chatouillement Français.

    You’d have got what I said and why if you had.

    Reading between the lines I don’t think the bid is dependant on the crowdfunding model. It doesn’t take a brainiac to work that out, the owners would need to raise 3 times the amount they have bought the club for. Which is impossible.

    I don’t think Geoff would put the trust in doubt if he didn’t think it was a good idea, I assume the money is coming from owner of the company or number of high profile investors using the company a buyer.

    If it came about, I would think it gives Geoff a place on the board as a voice for us and that’s it.

    It's a wind-up.
    "100 % sure", " a joy to watch play", "surely be emulated..", "using new technologies...".
    Hardly words/phrases used by serious, professional business people.
