How would you like our trust to proceed?

[TrueBlue]

If we do the club the favour of to not protest tomorrow, there has to be some dialogue with the club to say that, OK we've been told these issues are short-term. If they go on past January, all bets are off. Something has to happen, we can't go on sitting in the dark being fobbed off. If Stan asks us to trust him now, I accept that and I do trust Stan, but we need to be clear there is a time limit on this goodwill from supporters.

I’m not suggesting protest at all mate, just that we need to sit down and work out what we want to achieve and how we achieve it

JP all jokes aside mate why has the trust not done a statement yet?! Even more important with the revelation of our shirt sponsor pulling out!!!

The facebook post from the sponsor was posted at gone 10pm on a Friday night. I am a sad ******* and am doom scrolling through SZ but I am sure plenty of other people including Trust members have lives and might well not even know yet.

Fair enough. In which case I wholeheartedly agree.

I believe they are always looking for volunteers.

Maybe they're trying to establish all the facts? Maybe they're in dialogue with the club? Clearly this is an unacceptable situation, but I would hope the Trust would be in possession of all the details before rushing out a statement.

It’s about image mate they may have nothing to say and be talking to the club but let your members know that! A sense of urgency goes such a long way.

Bluewonder2 … come on Dutchess this is your finest hour you made it very clear we didn’t miss out on signings ? I’ve been looking forward to this moment #emporersnewclothes

Out of interest what is it you're hoping to gain out of these unprovoked attacks on fellow fans?

Oh of course and I work in PR so I know the importance of a good old-fashioned holding statement but I'm willing to cut volunteers some slack at 10pm on a Friday night.

Of course we can but hope that someone posted after too many beers and it’ll be gone in the morning .. I mean it’s called us Southend Football Club ffs .. sigh ..

There is a whole committee and some of them are online at the moment, sounds trivial what I’m saying but it goes such a long way to showing they are on the pulse.

@jphfitz I want to joint the committee please again, feel like I can add real value

Shock.

Check when I posted that, it was before Mussa, and before Kelly. At that time, we hadn’t missed out on targets. We have since.

Yeah you make my point better than me ‘holding statement’ I’m in politics so I know exactly where you are coming from.

I know it’s late my point was as to earlier on today it was just the late news of the sponsorship that has raised the urgency

I'm glad I'm not the only one that didn't like that

In fairness we’re hardly United at the moment

'Financial dishonesty' now that is a damning statement for a sponsor to make.

To be honest, I'm not sure I would want to be associated with someone like that, let alone communicate with them. You have to remember deceit is his default position, from the minute he wakes till the minute he goes back to sleep.

Agreed 100% - “financial dishonesty” is a very, very dangerous phrase to stick out there without consulting your lawyers first.

I would imagine it was hastily removed when either Ron’s legal team or PG’s legal team got in touch…

Interestingly, the CP’s Tweet is still there and pinned to his timeline….

I’m surprised CP put it out there to start with given the timing of the FB post and what was written. Maybe he’s laying in, having been up half the night.

Changed my vote to yes.

I think PG Site Services have now deleted that post from FB, but you can still still buy the JCB(next post).

Good grief!
If correct it has the whiff of regicide about it.

I want to know where’s the other directors? They have a duty to do what’s best for the club don’t they?
