You know what? would I expect running commentary. No. Do I think the fanbase should get running commentary. Absolutely yes. I would expect them to back a new owner (once they’d done their due diligence) as well.
How else are you (the Trust) or we (the fanbase) going to force Clem out?
We need an alternative & it needs to be public so we can all unite behind it/them.
Doing things hush hush behind closed doors & very on the fence will force / solve nothing.
Again, there have been rumours about interested parties & the usual smug ‘I know something you don’t know’ bollocks on social media but guess what? As your average fan I have neither seen or heard anything from / about any prospective new owner. Therefore I can only deduce they don’t exist. Am I wrong? Might be but I can’t get behind something I can’t see & have no proof of what so ever.
Just to clarify, I am not the Trust, I no longer sit on the board. Haven’t done for a while now.
As for the running commentary, it would be naive and short sighted to think it would benefit anyone in the long run. Yes, fans want to know but that’s not how things get done. Name one organisation or business that successfully gives a running commentary on things that are happening in the world it lives in, things that are not written down, hear-say from reliable sources, etc?
Truth is DV, all the protests and banging fists on the table won’t force Clem out the door. To my point, I don’t think 20million would force the guy out if he didn’t want to sell. That’s the sad reality of things. Personally, I would encourage you stand for the Trust board at the next election. That’s not a do better if you think you can attitude, but it will be an interesting insight to what really happens and why it is the way it is. I can sit here and try to explain what it’s like but it’s nothing in comparison to living it and seeing it all for yourself. It’s a tough and thankless job being sat on the board, you’ll only understand once you’re on the other side of that experience.
