Don't know, don't care, just more muppets bickering like a bunch of old women. Sisu, acl, scg, trust they're all boring as fuck. Fucking pathetic the lot of them.

I'm not suggesting for one minute that you have chosen to spread misinformation but that is what is happening. Jonathan Strange is a member of the SCG not SISU. SISU, as far as I am aware, do not have an issue with Jan. Their issue is with John Fletcher (I have no idea why) and this is well documented. John has never been involved with SoC and has sat on the board for a number of years.

Have they actually said what their issue is? It is a bit harsh to victimise the poor fella and "shame" him if he hasn't done anything.

Honestly Nick I don't know, although I've not asked any of the board members if SISU have intimated why they have an issue with John. I've not asked as I've known John for a number of years now and have the highest regard for him and the way he conducts himself.

I can't comment as I haven't met him, but do think it is out of order to single him out for no reason and not actually say what their problem is so he can at least say "you are wrong because...". Case closed, stop being dicks.

Backing the wrong horse with Hoffman/Elliott/Haskell didn't help either.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer would have been the better approach.

I know that virtually every away game last season there were people going on about seeing "The Hoff" and "Joe" at games and getting tidbits of inormation on how close the takeover was.

Have they been spotted this season?

You're never going to out Machiavelli Sisu. The fans strength is the passion and the commonality with the wider football community.

They should represent their fans and as always, from what I saw it was less them avoiding Sisu than Sisu avoiding them. IMO from day 1 the plan from Sisu was to divide support.

While they should of course always be open to the club, they should also be robust in representing the fans views. If that leads to Sisu distancing themselves further then all the better to show them up for what they are.

Turning up to this shite just lends the whole affair an unearned sense of consensus IMO. Id hate to see Sisu use meetings like this to show they "consulted the fans".

It's obvious that Sisu have no intention of reasonable relations with anyone who isn't in total agreement. As soon as that's the case, its a fools game to try and keep cordial relations. Better to state your position clearly and fairly and stick to it.

it seems to me that pointing fingers at the trust is being used as a distraction from the real issue's. we've become accustomed to this from sisu but if certain members of the scg are also using this tactic i would argue that the scg are no longer fit for purpose.

"The purpose of tonight’s meeting is to focus on the SCG. Neither Tim Fisher nor Mark Labovitch will be present. Tynan Scope and I feel that it is high time the SCG had a discussion about itself." and then half the minutes talk about the trust and the rest about other issue's that you couldn't really argue is the scg looking at itself.

On John Fletcher...Sisu decided to use 'The ideological leftie Labour Party (nasty Council) vs. poor old capitalist hedge fund' line a while back.
It hasnt got much traction (aside from nutters like Pete Chambers) but I think that theme is bubbling away in the background with Sisu.
John Fletcher is I guess just some more Sisu collateral damage...

I hope everyone just mans up to the games Sisu are playing-- its not like they are subtle is it?!

Yes but so what if he was in the council years ago. I could understand if it was Mutton or Lucas heading up the Trust.

Has he ever had anything to do with club relationships for the Council or deals?

All that matters to Sisu is he was Council/Labour Party/Trust - that was of use to them. Crap of course, seeing the council position has always been all-party, and very very few have argued there is any political dimension to the Trust.
...btw of course Anne Lucas was a Cov season ticket holder for decades...

So the Trust decline Sisus advances in relation to persuading City fans to travel to Sixfields,Sisu then turn on the Trust retreat and unleash the other members on the SCG the majority of who do go to Sixfields to attack the Trust:thinking about:

So what do we have obviously certain people want the Trust off the SCG (remind me how the SCG started) and its only a matter of time before they are kicked off it. WE also have the "New Stadium" group who dont want the Trust represented.

Now ,there are members of the Trust who go to Sixfields that to me and others is not a problem my question is how are they being represented but then again I dont think it matters does it? Mind you there has been a lot of consultation with the fans hasn't there?

Bet Joy,Tim and Mark are laughing there heads off.

And that folks sums it all up.

SCG set up to represent everyone now represents the minority and is the only people with the boards ear ( sorry the only people the board tell what to do)

The trust chosen by the fans ignored as they challenged the owners. Are now challenged by the people set up to represent everyone
