Ok but these gnomic comments are so 2014, just give us a short summary, i.e. what exactly did he say when someone, hopefully you, asked whether there are currently any serious discussions with potential buyers going on at this time; and why other known serious bidders in the summer period, such as the one I know about, failed.
Or is that not the purpose of the Fans Forum? If not, what is its purpose?

Its a clique. You can only join if you "represent" a group of some sort & once you are in you are sworn to secrecy.
I dont know what's worse.......RD opening his mouth & spouting bollox, or the fans forum opening their mouths just to feed themselves.
And if any of you think I'm being harsh then open your mouths AND TELL US.
I don’t think it is reasonable to say it’s a waste of time and should be discontinued, and then moan that no one is telling you what’s going on.
A standard of behavior seems to have been agreed that nobody will discuss or report anything until the minutes have been both written and agreed. Standard practice and for good reason.
The speed that minutes can be produced can obviously vary depending on the number of amendments suggested, which then have to be agreed. It always amazed me as to how many different versions of what was said and agreed at meetings there could be, and is why it is imperative that everyone agrees before publication.
A further problem for this group is that they are not just producing minutes of decisions, but a report of the meeting. If everyone is prompt with their responses a week would seem reasonable for agreed minutes to be produced.
Saves all the bother of someone having to write up amended and final agreed minutes. The whole World can then see what has gone on, what has been said and by whom.
Box ticking exercise. They do the minimum required to satisfy fan engagement with the EFL. Anybody thinking they are doing it for fans benefit, then why did they not hold the promised takeover specific meeting before the season started. Surely they wanted to update us on how the 5 interested parties had been progressing?

Otherwise it appears to just be a coterie.
I cannot think of anything worse. Playing up to the camera, some not saying anything in case it sounds stupid, what about written information? etc etc. and of course ignores why you produce minutes in the first place!
And most importantly, it will be as boring as hell. Most of us only want to know about the sale of the club, after that I only want to know what was agreed, not who said what to whom.

You have to be patient and wait.
Branson was the last person I was expecting to see.

That showed these meetings for what they have become, a waste of people's time, and insulting.

Ticketing, stewarding, food concessions, merchandise, potholes, chips and plenty of other issues different fans want to raise from time to time.
