Swansea and Pompey are interesting examples to learn from - what we need is a Coventry model of supporter ownership that works for us. I'm old enough to remember the glory days of '87 and our other highlights of the 70s through to early 90s and just want to see something better than the misery...

Swans trust now own 20% of club and have 2 directors on club board!

Pompey answer to that would be do we think business people like Richardson, Robinson, McGinnity through to sisu have run ccfc successfully? I would add that I'm not an electrician, plumber or architect but I've always bought old houses and done them up - the skill is knowing what you want and...

Swansea was saved by Swans Trust and look how successful they are. Wingy, yes Germany has a supporter led ownership model. Compare their ticket prices with ours!

Pompey Trust have just stuck to the basic idea that supporter led ownership is the way to achieve a sustainable financial failure, grown their membership, worked with investors who share their vision and when an opportunity for change of ownership came they got 2k people buying a £1k share plus...

Back home after worst away trip in a long time - complete mess on and off the pitch, and I'm too old to be holding back (literally) one city fan from lamping another. Only bright spot was a pre match meet with Pompey Trust. They are within touching distance of ownership of their club, with...

It was a long day yesterday...warwick, nick, leicester, canley - me and steve.b50 will be at pompey today so happy to buy you a pint and talk football (definitely not finance for once!)

If you don't want to believe what Jan said about Lko, the minutes of Monday's Trust Board meeting which are on the Trust website and the interviews several of us have done today then nothing I'm going to say is going to persuade you. It's been a long day today and I'm off to pompey tomorrow so...

Nick, I know part of your role is to generate discussions on here but admist all this is going on is having digs at the Trust really the top priority (and canleykid clearly says he knows the trust sucks up to fisher so you can't have it both ways)

I can categotically state I have never been anywhere near John Clarke's arse. The Trust is no more and no less than its membership. I have consistently argued that the Trust may achieve absolutely nothing but unless we try we'll never find out, and other Trusts have succeeded so why can't we...

Nice to meet some sbt posters at high court today. Les Reid is here (in London) and has been doing good job of posting info back to cov tel. Strange that supporting ccfc means sitting in a court in London. 20 people in the room - half a dozen city fans, journos and then the legal people. Hearing...

3 managers plus 2 caretakers in one season, transfer emargo, rent dispute, don't own our own stadium, £40-50million in debt, third tier football for the first time in over 40 years, ricoh two thirds empty. I guess some journos might not be entirely persuaded it's business as normal!

Everyone on here has their own view. Some people think sisu are great or at least the best current option. Some people have 'sisu out' sign offs. Some think acl are 100% in the right. Some people have gone so far as to say we would be better off going into liquidation. And everyone has their...

Last week there were people on twitter saying the Trust was pro sisu, today some people here are saying it's pro admin; who knows what it'll be tomorrow. It goes with the territory when you get out from behind your keyboard and anonymity. Everyone has their own view, and most people most of the...

Definitely got 2 threads duplicating stuff so I'll post something on the other one.

I think we've got 2 threads on the same theme now....so I'm posting here what I've just posted on the other one! Jan's posts on this thread make the Trust's position crystal clear (btw, last week the Trust was being accused on twitter of being pro sisu) I've been in involved in lots of...

Jan's posts on this thread make the Trust's position crystal clear (btw, last week the Trust was being accused on twitter of being pro sisu) I've been in involved in lots of different groups over the years but I have never seen anything like the increase in membership the Trust has had in the...

Italia, Jan has been making very clear posts on the related thread about this

Dilligaf, if you PM me or use [email protected] and say what time you were on the Trust website I'll get one of the IT guys to see what the problem was. Cheers, Michael

Thanks to everyone who's joined the Trust this weekend! I still haven't got all the forms back but I think total membership is now up to 1,100. If people are starting to talk about shares, has anyone looked at the Pompey scheme eg http://www.communitypompey.co.uk/files/PST-Supplement.pdf As...
