Dunno Gaz I feel 100% more optimistic about this takeover than I ever did about the BEST one.

Fitton does seem to know what he is on about but.... until it is signed sealed delivered etc I ont get too excited. Did that last time. Good to see he already has a blue print which he will REVEAL TO FANS when it goes through. He seems committed to dealing with the fans. He was quoted in the adver that he was "100% committed to Sturrock and to dealing with the fans in a way that probably hasnt been done in quite some time."
FAN ON THE BOARD PLEASE!

The article says they've agreed terms which is certainly very promising.

Oh I am ever the pessimist up until I see it in writing, but Fitton does seem to be a good bloke, from what I have heard and read so far. As for a fan on the board, maybe he may well accomodate that in the future, only time will tell mate.

It all seems good at the moment doesn't it. But this is STFC, anything can happen.
If Fitton is open and honest and treats the respect this could be the start of something good. We all have to be pulling in the same direction to get this club where it needs to be, because in my opinion the things that are wrong with the club (financial, running of the club, etc) can't be fixed overnight. I'll take a lot more graft than that.

All this fan on the board stuff is a bit of a waste of time imho.
If a club is run correctly you don't need it.
If a club is run badly it wouldn't happen anyway.
And the fan who gets chosen to sit on the board, who chooses?
I'd much rather have a club that communicated with all fans directly, instead of a token fan on the board...................................

Fan on the board would have a vote that would be in the clubs and fans interest.
They will be voted for I believe by members of the Trust and they would have to be re-elected every year. I know that system was/still is in place at Stockport County.
When it was muted before and the club said fuck off, I believe Justin Tomlinson was elected last time however I could be wrong. I personally believe Andy Ratcliffe should be elected if this was ever to happen. I would say Paul Davis but you need someone strong to run the trust during that time as well to make sure everything works and falls into place and there is good communication between the club and the members who vote.
Too far ahead of myself I'm sure and probably pie in the sky but hey.... if he is that committed to helping fans it wouldnt hurt.

Not having a pop Gazza, but anyone who thinks a fan would have any clout on the board is living in cloud cuckoo land. All I want is people I can trust running the club, I really don't care if they have a token fan on the board or not............... |

Sorry mate, the boardroom is in The Arkells Stand ...
Maybe Fitton will move the boardroom to The Town End?

A fan maybe not have too much say at boardroom level but they could certainly help make the club part of the community. |

If the club is run correctly they'll do all they can to re-engage interest from the local community toward the club.
Let's have a board who are honest, open and good at their individual roles.
