Again I don't recall exactly who said what at a meeting that must've happened a couple of years ago. Especially when there must've been a few dozen that asked questions or put comments forward.

Like I said, he wasn't asking or speaking from the crowd. He was at the front.

Yeah it probably would have been at the very least a year or so ago.

You're telling me. They're lifesavers though. I'd be lost without mine. Wouldn't have a clue what I can spend!

This is annoying bit, you end up taking the flack for people who aren't as relatable as you because you try your best to answer on behalf of the trust. Again, I doubt frustration is aimed at you personally as there would be complete radio silence if you didn't respond.

Who do you think runs that account? Whoever it is I doubt it's anyone from our board.

£50 to charity? Have a look at the name, the closeness between that account your other adviser and the passion for Cov Utd Ladies.

Like I suggested weeks ago, stuff like that should be distanced from by the Trust. The same as the "Timmy" type nonsense.

I will ask the question. I've got a feeling I know what the answer will be. I can't think of anyone from our board that would get involved with that sort of thing.

You also doubted anybody from the board was boycotting until I pointed it out, to be fair.

One of the reasons it annoys me you end up taking the flack for a bit and then it just gets ignored when it comes to other people.

Of the people that would know how to use Twitter none of them are that way inclined. Will ask all the same.

Well he's supposed to be the director of the company who owns/trades as the club, or whatever legal bent it has. So, if he has no control and no influence, who does?

None of the major parties involved should be making any statement's unless its a update on talks, either they are underway or no movement. For any of them to come out talking about anything else or stating they have full support from any other party, is not accurate or helpful. What we need is for one of the major parties to makes a divisive decision because as of now all this stalemate is doing is creating a lot of uncertainty and emotion from within and concern from those looking in from the outside. Only 3 things will happen in this scenario, carry on courts and talk, drop courts and talk or no talks. No talks could lead to the club seeking approval to a move out of the city or if refused the FL kicking us out of the league.

Talking about anything else means nothing, alters nothing and only inflames what is already a very difficult situation. So in my opinion nobody representing any of the major parties should using any platform to discuss or state the reasons for their actions. All parties have the right to do what they think is correct, but time is running out and playing with words to create a reaction or get validation of your words does not help.

As for the trust and Tim in my opinion, the trust have reacted and tried to defend a position they are taking, what they say has no power or will not effect any possibility of talks. As for Tim coming along with his occasional shit drop to muddy the water create a reaction is par for the course, unfortunately his words do carry power and effect any possibility of talks in the future, I wish all major parties were as good as running the clubs and city as they are at running the mouth..

I guess it is easier just to try and nitpick whether it was a stage or if he was stood at the front rather than actually address it.

How about "He was a speaker, addressing the crowd from the front at a Trust meeting"? I don't quite know the specifics on when a raised area becomes a stage.

It's not nitpicking, if someone else stretches the truth like you they are making things up.
Give it a rest ffs.

How is it stretching the truth or making things up? It's like saying he wasn't sat he was stood to try and get around the point of what was said.

Doesn’t your secretary like a lot of these “accounts” on twitter abd is particularly keen to show the tripe coming from Johnson?

To be fair as a long standing critic of the trust, I actually think this would be helpful.

Fisher whilst isn’t doing anything to note right now, with his spoutings has done more to damage the fan base and alienate the club from the fans than anything before.

Other than Joy, Fisher is the last link between SISU and CCFC that a lot of fans recognise, maybe (not saying it would work) it could mean the masses separate the club from SISU, and then hopefully we could press on pressuring Wasps to get round the table

We need the Trust to pressurise Wasps and CCC but they refuse. Whilst they continue with their Fisher obsession we won't get anywhere.

Like it or not (personally NOT for me) they are the most influential fans group - at least on social media - and things would progress further and speedier if they started thinking about the endgame here.

I agree with that, but like I said. Fisher has spent years antagonising the fan base. I’ve agreed with things he’s said at times, but then he goes on rants which ends up with him hammering the fans.

Him still being there still links the owners with the club publically. We’ve had the argument millions of times on SISU and the club are/are not the same thing - fisher is the man that links both interests. Boddy hasn’t yet peddled those lines

You said he was on the stage was he or wasn't he.
By making out he was on the stage you make out he is a board member or an influence to them.
If he is on the floor in the audience then he is just another member at a meeting.

He was at the front of the audience facing the crowd. Ie not in the crowd asking a question to those facing the crowd.

Whether it was a raised stage or level in height with the audience it's irrelevant isn't it?

If he was at the front facing the crowd at least you accept he was there to influence. Thanks.

Fisher going doesn't remove a link, the same as when igwe and orange Ken went. That's the thing and what's missed.

That's not saying he's an amazing chairman, he clearly isn't. Boddy has done much more in less time in terms of improving the club.

I'm sorry if it came across that way. I was just stating that I couldn't recall who said what and what was said a couple of years ago. When you said he was on stage it confused me further. No harm done either way.

Haven’t they been writing to ALL parties on a monthly basis for months now asking them all to get around the table and get this sorted?
