I think he's mentioned that his uncle is on the board or something previously?
Or at least explain why you are so familiar with trust affairs "Schmeee"
If an article offends, and is libellous, you go after the publisher first to remove it, way before you threaten people for sharing the information.
Then again...
very little that people have done in this mess has made much sense, so maybe they have suggested legal action.
Or...
they could have asked nicely for someone to remove the link to foster goodwill, but then here I go over thinking possible reasons for something.
Only thing I do know for sure is...
Sometimes things happen for no reason.
Humanity as a rule tends to suffer from the need to identify correlations, and see patterns in things that are random.
I've had a few of those DCMA warnings on my blog.

Just had a look at the Trust site seems that the link to the Guardian article has been removed:thinking about:Anybody from the Trust care to tell me why?
[h=1]Why We Took Down The "Guardian" Link[/h] Thursday, 05 December 2013 21:56
We have removed the link we posted to The Guardian's article on the Club of 2nd December. This is because we received a letter from the Club's lawyers informing us that if we did not do so and the Club takes legal action against The Guardian, the Club would take legal action against the Trust too
And there you have it, me thinks that David Conn and The Guardian got a little too close to the truth.

Unfortunately, yes it is true
Sorry it's taken a day or so to get this out. We've been taking legal advise.
And so you should, but well done for letting us know.
The real point is that the Trust operate in a complete knee jerk way with their communications, there is no planned campaign, just a spewing out of any random stuff that appears at face value to be interesting. The Conn article (like the Private Eye ones) is no more than a retelling of the situation for a non Coventry audience and adds nothing new to our understanding or debate.
So why the legal threats then?
When i started this thread it was because wanted to show a guy at work the article i just wondered why the Trust removed the link. I must say I'm trully shocked at this revelation I'm all for conspiracy theories but this
Unfortunately, yes it is true
have i had a really long sleep, missed xmas and woke up on April fools day? sure even sh1tsu wouldn't?
Maybe there is a reason why sisu are so concerned about this article. A thought and it's just a thought but maybe after the NSA revalations more people internationally are taking notice of the Guardian. People like European and Asian pension funds, and American universities' endowment funds etc. As I say just a thought.
Gary, will the Trust be sending an email out about it?
I think its important that as many fans as possible know about this. As long as you word it exactly how it is there is nothing they can do. They've sent you a letter so you have proof.
I wonder if the Guardian know about this:thinking about:
Yes.

Have you spoken with David Conn ?
Yes we have.
Sorry if we're being a bit vague btw. Hopefully you can understand why.
