Or that the council do the right thing even if not to sisu and let any potentialnew owner have the ground so that we actually have a chance.
What would be better than every ST holder automatically enrolled into the Trust and then the ground being Gifted to that Group ,anyone have a more secure place to keep a ground with a Club.
Michael, inactive trust member here, what attempts have been made to get some recognisable faces and serious cash on board? I'd have though the likes of Gould, Hall, Whelan who have all expressed a love of the club, would be easy pickings. Followed by a few local businessmen who could provide tent pole investment should a takeover be needed.
Giving people a face they know would also help membership I'd imagine.
I'd also suggest less of a focus on who is right or wrong in press dealings and more on the idea of fan ownership. Give people details, its a plan a lot will get begin if they see straightforward answers to the kind of concerns raised on this thread.
You guys are doing a great job, Just wanted to drop in a few points I've noticed.
I think its fairly clear I have a problem with your trust. As far as I can see you attempt to speak for us but have achieved nothing. When you're worth a serious position you have my backing but I don't see it. I have felt like this ever since jans involvement. Nothing against him personally as I don't know him but his childlike antics on here when his first powertrip failed and then his attemot to think he was worthy of a board seat andvarselicking if sisu who you are all nw against tells me its not for me.
A solution? Wingys seems pretty decent to me and I imagine with no feesand inoe strams back lots of peole could make that model work andwhether its sisu or some hopefully diferent I'm sure there would be no shortag of takers.
None the wiser I'm afraid. Certainly not on current trust board.
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 Pompey Trust having 50-60% share and co-investors the rest. I always believed that in the end acl-sisu would come to an agreement because a successful ccfc is in everyone's interests. But maybe that was never going to happen and certainly isn't now. The Pompey trust have worked on the basis of some pretty straight forward ideas eg they were owned by supposedly successful businessmen and look what a mess they created; who is to say any new big investor will be any different so work with local ones who buy into the idea of a supporter led ownership model; and a sustainable long-term business plan is more important than promises of short term success based on unsound finance. Given the events of the last 48 hours at CCFC, is this the real way forward for us?

problem is, if the trust got any actual power - ie a seat on the board, you would get 5000 people all thinking they could do a better job rather than the cabal who started it. soon would become a right mess.
But the pompey trust have some very rich local people on board ,i'm sure if anybody local to us with any interest would already be members, unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case.
If the pst are successful then fair play to them but they were dealing with a stadium that they value at 2 mill and a club brand that at this moment is worth nothing, we however would face sisu, ccc and the Higgs 2 of which will not budge. Monies involved in this could be in excess of 90 mill.
SBT should be applauded for their efforts but face an altogether huge task.
