Arabtrust - actions speak louder than words

EGM for fan groups.

Then install boards and committees that are more in line with whatever your aims are.

It’s not a difficult process to change the direction of these groups and elect new boards. Just needs people interested enough in changing the directions of the Trust etc to put themselves forward.

That’s a lot easier than hoping that those in control will all of a sudden change to be in line with whatever aims critics have.

So my point is that these groups can be changed if people use the routes like an EGM.

Surely that’s more useful to those who want groups like the Trust to get more vocal?

Be the change you want to see and all that.

ArabTRUST do not have the Trust of most Arabs,

The fact that a supporters foundation is being set up means that the steering committee see them as rainted.

Frank I like your posts on here but a little confused with that. Do you mean EGM for DUFC because ST has 51% IIRC so don't think that's a runner.
If you mean and EGM for AT what good would that do?

As to wasting energy I'm only wasting the energy of typing out the question "what is our Fans Representation on the Board actually doing to further the aim stated in the Gavin Muir interview"

If AT truly had the best interests of Dundee United at heart they should be following up on their words. For example - have THEY helped in the search for a new majority shareholder? If not, why not. etc etc

Hiding behind anonymity while the very existence of club is at risk is a dereliction of their duty.

You clearly don't understand that there is no Fans Representation on the DUFC Board only an ASSOCIATE Director REPRESENTING ArabTRUST and secondly Eddie Thompson wanted all United fans to join ArabTRUST.

That’s as may be but the fact remains as the third largest shareholding in the club they have a big foothold and profile. So if fans want the Trust to be different it can be made to happen. All it takes is for people who want change to put themselves forward at an EGM or the Trust’s AGM.

Once in place they can put their views into action.

Surely that’s a better use of energy for those that think the Trust should act differently?

What a sensible post! Couldn't agree more.

They've done a considerable amount and certainly not enough time or space to post all details here but you're more than welcome to meet over a pint anywhere and discuss rationally like an adult.

There's plenty space here! Fire away.
How about a bullet point summary?
Guess it would be quite short anyway.
Still refusing to answer a simple question I see 😅

A lot of different tradesmen and women involved with ArabTRUST but yet to meet a tinsmith.

Knitters for the scarfs?

I'm not sure why folk are so down on ArabTrust's fundraising for youth development. Regardless of what form it takes it's a good thing, no?

Can anyone name any other supporters organisations that never raised any alarm bells or had concerns about the running of the club?
