Slater said the same a few years ago.Airman Brown said:Good statement. Well done.
If he's putting £1m in then the club must be losing £12m a year. Don't think so.0 -
Oh, the hokey-cokey ...1

It wouldn't surprise me if the £1m mark is relatively accurate. But @PragueAddick brings up the most pertinent point, especially when putting this in the Press Release, which is "Why?"0

I would have stuffed the biscuits in my trouser pockets as I walked out (shouting "I SAID GOOD DAY!). But that's just me, I love a spectacle.1

Can I take this opportunity to give a mention to Razil who formed the Trust. Although he has since stepped down, his tireless efforts to get the Trust off the ground, despite some very negative reactions from some who really should be ashamed of themselves now, has given the fans a respected voice that can responsibly engage with the clubs hierarchy and issue statements that are recieved and published by important media outlets.
Well done @razil.54 -
You couldn't reach an agreement and therefore did not really know what to do for the best of the club. So you asked the fans for their advice / opinion.Weegie Addick said:
@JohnnyH2 The board debate was not so much about dialogue, more about whether or not we attended and how to approach the meeting. We are a board of eight people, and had robust discussions, though there is a lot of mutual respect between us too. In the end, we all agreed that seeking members' opinion was only right on such an important issue. It gave us a clear mandate.JohnnyH2 said:Glad the right decision (in my opinion was reached) and well done to all concerned that we got there. Would loved to have seen their faces.
As a side note, I am a trust member and do find it very concerning the board could not come to an agreement on their own. What more damage needs to be done to our club before people reliase you cannot deal with this regime.
Maybe not for now but I think those Trust Board Members who still want dialogue with these clowns at least explain why they feel they are right in this view
Also, for further information and transparency's sake, we did open the survey to both members and non-members. The full results were as follows:
Responses Total 827 Members 417 Non-members 410
Meet and listen 17% 19% 15%
Meet and tell them to sell 54% 57% 50%
Don’t meet 29% 24% 35%
So, while non-members were a bit more inclined than members to select not meeting at all, there was still a clear majority to attend a meeting with the message to sell.
ARE YOU READING SMT. This is a great idea and it is called CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOGUE.4 - Sponsored links:

Well, from what I've heard, the trust went into the meeting, laid it's cards on the table and finished off with a rousing chorus of 'we want Roland out' and Richard Murray joined in ... That's what I heard5

Well done @razil.
Good point well made.
Another impressive thing about him was that he was able to let go at the right time. So many people who do all the hard work to get something off the ground become too possessive and controlling and are reluctant to share, let alone relinquish, their baby. He managed that transition very well.
I hope he's happily painting a fence somewhere this morning6
