The OSC would do, as would that mental FB one. They all do more than the Trust has, which is slightly disappointing. When I say I'd be fine with it not being the Trust, if it was Geoff, I'd be ok with that. Just needs someone to explain politely the problems with the concessions and the name stuff.
OSC are puppets and couldn't put a case together for fear of upsetting Rehab and not getting players to attend "an evening with"
You'd really want the OSC, the biggest bunch of lickspittles going in to bat for you? Not in my name, thanks very much. The OSC are brilliant fund raisers - end of.
I see that in part but, for me, the Trust as the largest representative group with elected officers would be the only viable group who could collect views & be trusted with those views being represented truthfully & honestly. The OSC has shown repeatedly they serve their own interests & failed, twice, to report their member's views in the name change application process. The FB one don't give a **** about concessions, they're currently expressing their pleasure at seeing the stadium full, despite all the red in there. Geoff's a good bloke & I'd trust him far more than the self elected leaders of other groups like the OSC.
Well there you go then, as I said,just announce name retention and concessions and that it. Don't meet with anyone just go back to how it should be.
I think there's a tendency to overstate the problems and how to fix them. Most agree the main issue is the concessions, the names used online second. It doesn't take a specific organisation to discuss them with Ehab, it just takes someone who isn't a ****. Geoff would be my first choice I think, as long as he was on his own. You mention the OSC serve their own interests, well so does every group. The OSC might not be hugely militant but they DO represent their members. Ok they're not militant at all, and every single group including CTWD presented stuff in a less than honest manner to suit their own agenda. Id not be surprised if there was more members on this forum than there is in the Trust too. In fact this forum is probably the most representative of a wide range of our supporter base. I would not want an arsehole like PLT claiming to be representative of the fan base, Geoff on the other hand would be fine. Idiots like PLT have too much baggage and preconceived angst, so whilst he's an elected committee member, that does not make him in any way suitable for any attempt at bridge building. In fact him, and the others like him would be a total waste of time. The purpose is to try and repair relationships. I can guarantee that if even Geoff got a meeting with Ehab, and Ehab had a light bulb moment, apologised, reinstated concessions and changed all our social media stuff to Hull City, a small core of entitled ****s like PLT would STILL be vocally against the Allams as owners. What's the point in that? Even Lambo would be ok tbh, he knows the score and how to conduct himself in a meeting like that would be.
Are you taking the piss? The club run the OSC, they daren't even criticise the quality of the pie forks ffs. The club do have to meet the Trust, it's a Premier League requirement, or rather it's another PL rule they ignore. Ehab Allam will not meet with anyone who doesn't already agree with everything he's already doing. FACT.
Indeed, and the reason for producing the 'puff piece newspeak' video, where he writes the questions and then answers them! Only then to distribute this propaganda to the great unwashed. He's consistent, I'll give him that. Lest we forget the survey that attempted to 'fix' the response they wanted. He has a great opportunity to put a few things right with the fanbase and make it a win-win if he could see beyond the length of his ego. The one impression that the video did leave me with though was that if Steve Bruce was very much his dad's 'man', and I think he sees Marco as very much as 'his' man, and the club as his (Ehab's) project. In this sense, I think Chazz was right months back when I think he hinted or even stated that they would not sell the club. In theory then, we might have a little more stability with the owner whilst Ehab enjoys it. I am not holding my breath mind.
Jesus, calm down, it can't be worth it being this angry all the time. I'll scratch you off the invite list eeeesh. Got a link to that rule btw? I've had a scan of the PL Handbook and can't find owt.
Who's angry? I just pointed out you suggested something stupid. The rules on fan engagement aren't in the PL rule book yet, but they're supposed to have been introduced immediately anyway... https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp....ague-fans-supporters-trust-deal?client=safari
I assume you're on a wind up OSC could not possibly do that job. They need club access for kids and player attendance at meetings, it's just not their job and neither should they be expected to do that The club have to meet the Trust anyway don't they? Anyway there's absolutely no point in either party meeting. Ehab knows exactly what would need to be done. Whether he wants to do it is up to him, but he certainly doesn't need anyone politely explaining anything. If he wants to change he will, if he doesn't he won't
Does the rule say it has to be a trust? I didn't realise every club had one? The article is a bit confusing. It's a lot of could's and should, rather than must. It mentions consultation on badge changes and name changes separately from the equivalent of the FWG. Arguably, as it reads there, haven't City been complying anyway, even before the trust?
If Ehab really gives a **** about what any of us think then now is the time for him to do something Next time he can write his questions for the interviewer so the discussion goes like this Person reading out questions as if they're an interviewer "So Ehab. Some of the fans think that maybe you should call,the club by its name" Ehab "They do indeed. We tried to change the name because we thought it would be useful for sponsorship, but it didn't turn out how we'd hoped. We'd told all the club employees to refer to Hull Tigers because we thought that what we'd be called, but we obvioulsy aren't, so I must make sure they change back to using Hull CIty everywhere because it's time for us all to move on. From now on all the club communications will refer to Hull City." PROQAITAI "That's good. What about the pie forks?"................ Easy to get this 'olive branch' **** moving and no meeting required
I don't know Hence my use of the question mark... However please refer to my 'no ****er needs to meet anyway to get this **** going' post above
I reckon there's stuff we could/should be doing that don't need the board to agree anyway, and forums like this could/should be a good place to start.
I think it's Ehab that needs to start though. One tiny concession from his part by saying they'll use the club name and then there's your olive branch right there
