' Vincent Tan & Trust/ Supporters Club meeting '

Thu Dec 26, 2013 6:16 pm

At last Tan will be meeting them and sitting down with about 10 fans :thumbup:

Tan requested that he had all their questions in advance though, so he goes to the meeting knowing every question, laughable in my opinion or shall we say Dictatorship.

Not at all.

if he is asked questions off the cuff he might not be able to answer.

this way he has time to get the answer so cant say he doesnt know.

this is how forums at all levels work. I should know as part of my job is chairing high level trade union forums. Standard practice.

It is laughable,he might as well answer by email.
But i don't trust the trusts supremo to ask the right questions,he looks a bit of a geek and a yes man.

Why don't you stand for election at the trust then? If you feel you could do a better job?

thats correct.

they dont micro manage. They have people to do everything. Ive facilitated meetings with some very wealthy and high profile company directors of very large multinationals (mainly Tesco) and believe me. They dont know everything off the top of their head. Especially to do with figures and money.

Its a formal meeting though. If he says I dont know to questions everyone would be up in arms. He is giving himself time to get the answers in case he doesnt know. It is standard forum practice.

I hope so. I look forward to your manifesto. :thumbright:

Although if you were a member, I'd have thought you'd know the names of the committee of the trust, rather than label them with silly names. :laughing6:

you sound like a trust apologist,just like Bu.If you were in charge of the trust would've you rolled over and accepted the rebrand or fought back ?

I don't sound like anything, I just find it bizarre that you claim to be a member of the trust, yet don't know anyone's name. :lol:

No, I criticised the trust for not doing enough initially about the rebrand. Thankfully, they've shown their teeth a bit more. Like it or not, they are the only group of fans that Tan is willing to meet.

I do wish the trust were even harder to the club about the rebrand, myself. :malky:

Great thing about a group like the trust, is if you disagree with it's opinions, you can stand yourself - so I'm suggesting you do so. :malky:

Nobody did anything - anyone that did was either ridiculed/abused/threatened.

You obviously didn't feel that strongly before, or you would have stood for the elections. :ayatollah:

all should keep well clear of TAN, SAM AND AND ANY OF THE HANGERS ON (LIM AND HELSCHMUT or whatever his name is!).

Time for supporters to be united not in "look at me" groups having talks - what the feck for?

wouldn;t have happened in the 80's - they'd be back home and gone by now!!!!!

the only way it can be scrpted is if Tan asks the questions himself.
