Arabtrust - actions speak louder than words

Wrong . It's created awareness and debate.

What is the aim? Change or awareness and debate?

Cause if it’s change people want the steps are remarkably straightforward.

Straightforward to such a degree that it should scare the **** out of ordinary fans that those promoting and wanting to bring about change have ignored or worst are unaware of the simplest route to achieving it.

DUSF spending 13k setting up seems insane to me when they could have simply taken control of the Trust board and implemented their programme with the added clout of a place on the board (albeit a powerless AD) and the third largest shareholding.

Is it just me?

Frank, you made a lot of good points in your posts above. I've never swerved a thread in my entire time on here, but at work so can't devote much time to this. I'll post a proper response tonight.

If a supporters group were to get elected in as the new AT and have their place on the Utd board as the 3rd major shareholders what powers does ST have to oust them from the board? Can our chairman vote with the rest of the board to get rid of them? I'd imagine AT were handed their shares and never bought into the club so where would they stand on this? The new AT obviously wouldn't tow the party line and be yes men and would make life as uneasy as possible for ST and his cronies so what then? How much clout would the new AT really have?

Genuine questions and not a dig
