I read the thread you mentioned - and I felt nothing but disdain by his comments. His whinging about people "confusing" his views for those of the trust scream naivety.
There is one hilarious analogy where he talks about having to work a few things through at the start of any relationship. I'm sure he's already got his opening gambit ready "It wasn't me, Katreeen, honest. I wasn't there, and I told the nasty boys not to say anything rude!"
Soon to be, the trust will probably no longer exist. I reckon they don't get many people participating any more. If they replaced him with the bloke who's been organising the protests, I reckon we'd get the response we want.
I would be the wrong man for the job, as the first thing I would do is close it down. An utterly pointless Trojan Horse, existing only to massage 2-3 huge egos.
Pemberton's logic is that he can't risk being seen at a protest, as he has already set up an invaluable communication with Katreeeeeeeeen, and cannot put this at risk. When challenged as to what his "dialogue" has actually achieved, he repeatedly answers by turning the question round ie: that his quest for dialogue has been a success, because he has now had some dialogue with KM. He has airbrushed the fact that Katrien humiliated him in public at that meeting. "Who is chairing this meeting, me or you? Ask a question" Anyone with an ounce of self respect would have told Katreeeeeeeeeen where to get off at that point, but not Rikofold. He was enjoying his 15 mins of fame just a bit too much.
On a YouTube video that barely got 1,000 views? That's selling yourself short. Cat and fail videos get more than that! Maybe we should submit it to EpicFail to get its ratings up
Thought the protest was a bit of a damp squib, fewer than at the first one. Came to life a bit when 'Mare came to the window laughing and joking, but what disappointed me was the number of fans who stood on the steps drinking their beer watching the protest from far above. We need numbers taking part, not observing.
Agree mate complete tossers watching from the steps ..reckon couple of hundred max demonstrated which tells me we deserve what we get shame a lot of Lilly livened tossers follow our club
I thought the protest yesterday was poorly attended and totally ineffective. Chanting she's got Chlamydia, is that going to help?Apathy seems to have taken over again.
That particular ditty must have been after I left at quarter to. The Protest was already a dead duck by then, much to our CEO's obvious delight. You're right about the apathy, and just wait until Tuesday. I wonder if Roland and 'Mare are even aware of the apathy?
It wasn't a great protest, but RD and KM, as well as their sympathisers, can't be smug just yet. Yesterday just highlighted the fact people aren't attending - the east and west looked particularly scarce yesterday, with the shop finding it hard for business. The first protest seemed to show fans uniting more, going out of their way. Yesterday appeared to be the ones from that crowd still prepared to attend.
None attending ST holders get counted? Leeds fans in London would be hiding among you. Gutted not to have come yesterday, but can justify wasting weekends watching our crapness.
Your right there mate two particularly woeful teams owned by egomaniacs with no time for the supporters awful situation for both. And what the hell is that useless fat idiot doin managing Leeds United !
