Followed by the manager is looking at new players for January and he has a healthy budget it is down to him how he uses his budget

Who then just can't seem to find the right players for some reason.

These are the same bellends that say Boris Johnson did a good job with covid

Let us hope that Clem isn't followed by Liz Truss.

Although thinking about it, maybe Truss is BEST Holdings, they lasted about the same amount of time.

Trust update on reviewing the accounts - club aren't playing ball. Meeting initiated but no progress as of yet. Trust are disappointed.

[Nemo]

The TrustSTFC board wants to update members on the ongoing evaluation of the club’s accounts. Club chairman Clem Morfuni offered the Trust the opportunity to review the financial position in the September 23 Advisory Board meeting. Since then, we’ve been actively working with the club to organise the review. Our goal is for Scott Curtis, the Trust Treasurer and Management Accountant, to present a clear analysis of the club’s finances to members in an understandable manner.

While the process was expected to take time, we’ve encountered delays beyond our control. Despite frustrations, we have initiated the process with an initial meeting. We acknowledge the criticism regarding the lack of communication and are committed to providing updates, even if progress is minimal.

We are disappointed in the current stage of progress and are actively engaging with the club to expedite the review. We will continue to press for the next stage and offer solutions to accelerate progress. The Trust board commits to providing a further update, regardless of the level of progress, by Thursday, December 21.

We remain passionate about concluding this process to offer members a clear analysis of the club’s finances. We acknowledge communication mistakes and appreciate your continued support as we work towards providing the analysis you want to see.

COY R,
The TrustSTFC Board.

I imagine "disappointed" may be somewhat a milder than others would use, but good to get an update at least.

The obvious question is "what comes next if the Club don't relent"... which is, let's be honest, a difficult question.

Just read the update, which is that there is no update. Clearly Clem isn't playing ball anymore & if he doesn't want to show the accounts he doesn't have too no matter what he's said.

Haha. Clockwork. The day the AXIS man is due to appear on the superfan panel at 7pm, we miraculously have something in the form of an update.

Fuck all of them, sooner these cowboys are gone the better, enough interested parties looking to own a football club, proof in the pudding just look at takeovers in our league and league 1.

I know what you mean, but I can't imagine this particular update is going to make it *easier* for Axis man, is it?

[Ƭ̵̬̊: The Artist Formerly Known as CWIG]

He's stalling because he is selling is my guess.

Either way he is a cunt. Another broken promise.

[UTR]

Can’t even say I’m disappointed, it’s what I expected

[No Longer Posh Red]

I know what you mean, but I can't imagine this particular update is going to make it *easier* for Axis man, is it?

That’s what I thought at first, but I guess it depends on what questions are put to him.
You’d like to think question 1 would be why is there still a delay?

[Ƭ̵̬̊: The Artist Formerly Known as CWIG]

Genuinely be surprised if the supporters club even ask.

Now, don't get me wrong, I think the idea of stadium tours and bringing history into the ground is a great idea - in fact, I took my son to a stadium tour of Spurs' new ground (they took my jibes about the trophy display being a bit sparse quite well).  However, is this really something the Trust should be running?

It seems like a perfect idea for a business looking to add some extra Revenue to own and the perfect thing for a non political Supporters Club to help by adding content.  The Trust is not designed or meant for such things, is there a reason they seem to get involved in so much that really has little to do with their two primary objectives - working on a stadium redevelopment and building funds to eventually have shares in the club.

I expressed concerns a few years ago that they'd spread themselves too thin if they didn't just narrow their focus to the ground.  Look what happens when you eyes and efforts are all over the shop, the owners get a free ride.

Consider me shocked that this has not happened.

No. Its something that a fully functioning competently ran football club should be doing themselves with staff, not relying on volunteers.

I wonder what that's like.
