So Johnson is out but his right hand man Lionel Bird is in...
Pop along and give them another chance
That'll improve the tact and diplomacy!
Good to see in light of the current pandemic they made this easily accessible without turning up to a pub.The Annual General Meeting of the Sky Blue Trust was held at the Albany Social Club, Earlsdon
Do we get to know what was in this wide ranging and passionate discussion or is it a secret?The AGM concluded with a wide ranging and often passionate discussion of the current crisis at the City, and backed the Trust’s current objective which is to get Coventry City playing back in the City now.
I had no problem with the board.Pop along and give them a chance

The meeting elected and warmly welcomed four new Board Members – Jamie Gordon, Geoffrey Gulzar, Luke Harris and Grace McKenna.
Any of these names ring a bell, keen to know who I should start slagging off
Think the minutes will go up here:Sky Blue Trust - Meeting Minutes
IIRC they have to publish them according to their constitution. Nothing since December though.
I applied and got a ticket for this and couldn’t be bothered to go. Now that I hear Lionel Bird got onto the board I’m glad I didn’t go. All he is interested in is what the latest bullshit info he’s found about SISU.
When the reincarnation of the Trust started the intentions were good, the people involved had the future of the club at heart. Unfortunately the club has now taken a back seat actually might be in the boot. Keeping sweet with CCC and Wasps is far more important.
I signed up more people than anyone else to the Trust and I apologise to all of these people for letting you down.
It is. And not even elected, but co-opted!You havent of course let anyone down but even by their standards this is truly bizarre
He’s full of self opinionated shit.It is. And not even elected, but co-opted!
Amen.He’s full of self opinionated shit.
Be nice to give new members a chanceI’d suggest people leave. What else can you do? Noises were good when Pete and Mark first reached out I believe but simply avoiding stuff like emailing members and allowing remote access (especially right now!) is inexcusable really.
The formal mechanism of the Trust was useful when the very nature of the club was under threat, but while that threat has very much subsided, it probably should be left to wither on the vine like it was before until someone new needs it in the future (or hopefully not!).
Kalns was cooptedIt is. And not even elected, but co-opted!
I don’t want it to die I want it to be The Sky Blue Trust not CCC Trust or the Wasps TrustLet the trust die, their continued existence is pointless now no one listens to them.

I'm quite happy for them to be critical of the way the club is run by our owners (who hasn't been!). That's not making it a team game though, and then by default being pro-Wasps just because you hate SISU!I don’t want it to die I want it to be The Sky Blue Trust not CCC Trust or the Wasps Trust
I genuinely think the club needs a check and a balance on it, and the Trust are best placed to do that.Ultimately as it stands if what you want is a group to be friendly and give feedback on the match day experience there’s plenty of groups out there. The Trusts USP is it’s legal status, if that’s of no use right now (and Id argue it’s not), then really it’s just as useful as any other group for the aforementioned issues, which in reality probably makes it not very useful at all right now.

Well... the institution is, Lionel Bird sure as hell ain't! If ever you wanted a signal that they want to be an anti-SISU campaign group above all else, they've just made it!
I agree... to an extent.I think we’re a long way from having owners who would willingly invite a counter balance into the room. Maybe when all this is over and things aren’t quite so binary.

As you know Northetn I’ve criticised the owners but also been the same with Easps and CCC where have the Trust except for half hearted efforts. Oh and you’re right with Bitd now on the board oh dear

I had no problem with the board.
I did have a problem with a couple of the other people along for the meeting, who seemed determined to call me a SISU sympathiser.
Guess who one of them was...?
But you know, go down the sly wankery route if you like...
It shouldn't be too hard a guess!!Do tell....
Do tell....
Are people thinking that Lionel Bird had no say with the Trust previously?
I agree... to an extent.
You're certainly not going to do that if you openly wage war!
