Trust Statement

[flammableBen]

I know they've got a pretty bad record with the untruthful spin, but as yeovil says, that's pretty brave if it's just an out and out lie. Crazy days.

[Fred Elliot]

So that response is a blind lie?

seems a brave tactic on their behalf.

Is there any chance this could be a break down in communications somewhere along the lines?  Will Bill and Phil be making any comment?

I cant make it any clearer really.

I dont think its a brave tactic................I think it is downright idiotic and suicidal

How fucking desperate are they ?

Surely it has to be a blind lie? Fred confirmed above that they spoke to Mr Davis at 3pm today and there was nothing so it looks like the board are telling porkies!

[Razzledazzle]

Board of idiots in desperation shocker!!!!  

[yeo]

Im worried I really do not think this is an out and out lie,it would as you say be suicidal even they arent that stupid.Ive got to go to work now I want it sorted by the time I get there. :|

[Razzledazzle]

Looks like the board want to play dirty and play some mind games!

I have never known a business to pull a stunt like this and blatantly lie to it's customers, obviously they know the end is coming and they are getting really desperate and they are doing anything they can to stay in control of the club, but that stunt is appalling and it is not right at all, i hope the trust release another statement and bury the fuckers!!!

Mr Davies as in the gentleman on the Trust board. With all due respect (not entirely sure of the consortium make up, even after x amount of trust meetings) I want to hear something from the horses mouth, ie the Solicitors or Mr Power or Emmell :shock:

But then if it was received 2 days ago im sure the trust would know about it. Im worried/concerned/confused.

[herthab]

Outright lying, in public, is one thing.

A written statement that is false is something else.

Are they that stupid?

Surely there is libel laws that cover this?

Will the Consortium look to sue?

Will Lassie get back to the well in time to save Johnny?

Exciting, isn't it?

[janaage]

I can't believe they would just make something like that up.

However if it is a lie, surely the lawyer involved  can now contact Radio Swindon/the Adver and tell them that they have not received the NDA and that the NDA is not with their clients, Bill and Phil.

And of course to ask for an aplogy from the board to the fans and the Trust.

Simple

I've just emailed this to Ben:

Feel free to pass this onto Martyn, Bob, Mike or whoever.

A quote from Andy Tuck, TrustSTFC Secretary:

"We can categorically state that we spoke to Mr Davis [of Davis & Co] at 3pm this afternoon and absolutely NO CORRESPONDENCE had been received."

Now who is telling the truth? If the CVA has been sent, prove it. If it was received on the Tuesday then why did SSW say that it WOULD be signed - i.e. future tense - and not that it HAD been signed?

The Trust statement doesn't say that "the Board have not responded to the proposed takeover by the Fans' Consortium", simply that no NDA had been received by 3pm this afternoon. If, as your statement suggests, Davis and Co "acknowledged the receipt of the Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) on Tuesday 10^th April" then give us, the fans, concrete proof.

Furthermore, to suggest that the Trust want to detract from the aim of achieving promotion is downright offensive to members of the Trust who took this decision, the Trut board did not - they act only on our behalf.

If there has been acknowledgment of the receipt of the NDA, fucking prove it otherwise you look daft.

Got to agree it's very black and white, one side is telling outright porkies.  Any chance of Davis & Co making a statement to clarify?

Although I do wonder if the club have twisted the Trust statement.  I notice it doesn’t actually refer to who has the NDA but the clubs failure to enter an NDA.  Could be the document is with Davis & Co but is as feasible as shafting a budgie.


Love this bit on the official site though....

An apology from TrustSTFC to the fans and to the Board would be appreciated

Considering the club have never appologised for the cock-up's and bullshit it made me chuckle

[SwindonTartanArmy]

bit late for someone to just ring the solicitors unforetunately :|

[DV]

just trying to split the trust and Bill/Phil up right?


however, they do say they have signed the NDA.....so I guess thats a positive step....if its true....which it might not be

[Batch]

Something doesn't sit right here. They say in writing they have acknowledged receipt of delivery of the NDA.

That is a very explicit and unambiguos statement. Not even they are stupid enough to outright lie. I trust the Trust officials implicitly.

There has to be a breakdown in communication either between Mr Davis (solicitor) and the in box mail tray, or between the clubs solicitors and whoever wrote that statement.

Mind you they probably emailed it to the solicitors and took an email  delivery receipt as proof of delivery:) Obviously I jest.
