eeerrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmm

let me think now !!!!!

[Rich Pullen]

I support the trust.

[herthab]

I'd be very, very suprised if anyone said no Sonic.

Do I believe that the board are all a bunch of liars, cheats and thieves?

No.

Do I believe that the whole of the consortium are doing this purely for altruistic reasons?

No.

Do I believe there's a fucking load of grey areas, where a lot of people are seeing only black and white?

Fuck yeah!!

Get the current board out, give the Consortium a go, but lets get away from the idea that the board are wearing black hats and the consortium white.

It can't be that simple.

There is no option for either:

- Fred Elliott for North Swindon MP

or

- Paul Davis for Swindon El Presidente

Crap poll, Sonic.

Agree Hertha, too many unanswered questions from the club though, no trust left with them, but i believe occasionally and very occasionally that is, that they raise valid questions of the consortium and trust.  My personal opinion is more that the consortium is more backed wholeheartedly by the trust and as such its members, as opposed to actually being a consortium led by the trust.  The meeting where Mr Wilkes first sounded out the idea , it was very much his ideas that the trust backed.

Fred, I think it's the more the media perception of the campaign, than anything else.  In normal circles a takeover consortium bid led by a fan with real financial backing would be a 'takeover bid'.  With ours because Mr Wilkes had the decency to speak at a fans meeting it has been labelled a 'fans consortium' something I would always associated more with collection £50,000 in a glorified bucket collection.  From my perspective if the whole thing happens (when?!), then it will be a proper business decision, a fan on the board will be fantastic, but I think that's something clubs should do anyway.  I percieve it more as a 'proper' takeover as opposed to a few kind hearted fans taken over.
