But Fisher is even more truthful. He told us we would find out soon at the start of the season.
speak for yourself, I trust him. He said this on Jan 15th, some 10 weeks ago now !

Mr Trench - I'm proposing you for any future committee positions. Anyone who can get homophones and tautology into a football thread deserves a little hero worship. Proof, if it were needed, that football has been usurped from the working classes. Must go now, Pimms in the fridge
I am educated, not posh. Born to a working class family in Canley.
Well yes, these days being able to put together a sentence is enough to be deemed posh. Whoever put together this e-mail certainly struggled-for Labovitch's sake I hope it wasn't him...
Probably someone privately educated.

I TOLD YOU SO
You can only publically accuse someone of something (in this case saying something defamatory) if it has been proven in a court of law. Doing so otherwise is defamatory itself.

I've been thinking about this post and the leaked email, and there are a couple of possible scenarios:
1) That the OP is somebody from the Sisu side that wants to make Jan and Steve's position untenable within the Trust.
Seems strange as they are the only ones that, going back to the SOC days, who were willing to engage with the club, though making the Trust more "militant" would give them more of an excuse not to deal with them, "We can't deal with these people, look it's all just Sisu Out and Fishface, Joyless rhetoric" etc.
2) That somebody from the Trust side is the OP and wants them removed in order to revert to the more militant SOC days, and can do this by saying "We can't deal with these people,they only want yes men, so no point even talking to them".
The OP works for both scenarios.
My money is put on option 3 ...
3) That the OP is someone from SCG ...
Most of us are paid up trust members so it is essential they respond. I would say as this paints jan in a negative light towards Elliot and other trust members this is possibly a leak from someone inside the trust to show him in a negating light.
Whatever the level of animosity that exists the trust hierarchy have to maintain cordial relations with the club or it just becomes an irrelevant protest group. I would suggest the more intelligent members of the trust accept this.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable
Why wasn't the e-mailed cc'd do you think why blind copy?
Tell me something, Mr Self Appointed Intelligent member (who doesn't know they difference between your and you're)
Sisu have made it quite clear that they have no interest in peaceful negotiations from day 1. Only a fool would keep attempting to get on their good side.
Sums up my position in a nutshell. They're like chickens negotiating with the fox.
I'd suggest that that is exactly what the Trust have been doing and what makes the club feel they can make demands like this.
Tell me something, Mr Self Appointed Intelligent member (who doesn't know they difference between your and you're), how far has any party got with being nice to Sisu? name one that has achieved anything.
Seems to me it's just playing into their hands. The only thing fans have is a militant response. I'll post JFK again:

They're not negotiating with the fans though, are they?
I am curious ...... how is attempting to be more professional, even handed and reasonable and dealing only in known facts actually continually attempting to get on the good side?
If it is then why are the club so rattled, seemingly more rattled than they have ever been by the Trust
I am curious ...... how is attempting to be more professional, even handed and reasonable and dealing only in known facts actually continually attempting to get on the good side? It doesn't stop challenges to what is going on as far as I am aware. If it is then why are the club so rattled, seemingly more rattled than they have ever been by the Trust, the same Trust that Mr Labovitch said has few real members or little power (paraphrased). I am sure that certain people would love The Trust to prove themselves as a vociferous knee jerk militant rabble....... far easier to dismiss
Indeed.
Indeed.
Tje first question to ask would be... why now?
After all, not like they haven't had the opportunity to go after supporters' groups for siding with Elliott and Hoffman against SISU in the past;
Not like they haven't had the opportunity to go after the Trust for talking to Haskell in the past.
Yet this all blows up when the Trust moderates itself, gets less shouty, more even handed, more... trustworthy.
So you have to ask what is to be gained for somebody going after that moderate angle, now?
Whoever is going after that, to me it proves the current direction of the Trust is the correct one.
My point exactly, and many seem to be rushing headlong into what Sisu want.
Would say it's clever tactics by Sisu, but to be fair it doesn't really take an awful lot to set some people off.
but why are they picking out just 2 people?
