Sturrock: Takeover Will Not Benefit the club

[Fred Elliot]

one thing that does worry me slightly is that some members of the trust seem to know alot more than other supporters.
i dont think its a major issue at present but it could develop into one possibly?
surely fans will ask why they are entitiled to hold information from them when they are basically equals

i do agree with that arriba.i must admit the nudge nudge wink wink does get to me a bit.When it was announced that it was bill power who was interested i was slighly pissed off about the amount of people who came out and  said thank fuck i can say something now etc

never mind though im sure they have the right reasons for not saying anything

Dean

You know me and you know my motives are 100% for the benefit of the club.

I know it is frustrating hearing something that certain people already knew, but believe you me information will be made public to the fans but it must be done at a time that it will be beneficial.

I am sorry if some people think that this is all "nudge nudge - wink wink", it is certainly not intended to make the guys involved in the consortium sound elitist, its just that it would be very easy to unload all that is known into the public domain - only to be slagged off for being unprofessional and conducting business through the media.

Cant win sometimes mate !

Dont get me wrong i understand that your all in a position where you cant say anything all the time.

It was just the amount of people who actually knew that suprised me a little

Because Bill Power asked them not to say anything?

Can I just say that if you want to know what's going on, get yourself to a trust meeting, Mike Wilkes was very open and honest on Monday.

I found out a lot of stuff there, however, I do not feel comfortable repeating what Mike said, as I see it as it's his decision to publicise what he says.

So Arriba, Macca, go to the next meeting, open to members and non members, sometime in Jan I believe.

You can come with Millom mate

[red macca]

Good idea im short of people to talk to

[Arriba]

i was playing devils advocate a little with my post but i have had conversations with people that have said exactly what i posted about lack of info ect.
i am a member of the trust but was unable to attend the meeting due to work commitments.

dont get me wrong as i wasn't having a go.but i honestly think it could become an issue with non trust members that are town fans

[stfctownenda]

You cant talk with Millom just prop yourself up in a seat next to him once hammered then fall asleep wake up light a fag only for everyone to shout its non smoking then just nod off again, priceless

Having read the adver via this is, I'm wholly disheartened, it seems like the board have dug themselves in, with reinforcements, and by 'making the right noises' outwardly they will easily brainwash the average town fan who sees the adver as gospel, and who doesn't follow the trust.  I think most information is there to be had from the consortium except a few details which IMHO are not in the public domain, and I wouldn't expect to know.

I can apprecaite that many fans will follow the 'party line' put out by STFC, but in reality whilst the trust membership is reasonably small it's larger than any other fans group here and has more fans involved than the average takeover bid for a club.  Many hugely dedicated fans I know are really not concerend about off the pitch antics, they just go to every game irrespective of the chaos behind the scenes, it's always going to be hard to harness such apathy, which means the current regime will always appear to have people backing them. I just hope it ends peacefully because the longer it goes on the more likely it is to 'kick off'.

One little question though, would you rather the 'revoltuion' suceeded but sturrock left in the crossfire, or status quo remained, we got promoted but still had the propaganda machine that is newbury lurking behind us?  For me the takeover is as important as the football, so I'd take Mr Power et al coming in if it meant a future for the club whoever the manager is.

[jayohaitchenn]

If it comes to it, I trust Bill Power and Mark Devlin to find us another top class manager.

I really hope it doesn't come to that though.
