    Yes it is all a bit Judean People Front.

    It’s oretty disheartening to see so many uninvolved in this when there are so many that say they want ST out etc and I’ve set out a way to put pressure on with the added cloud of a directorship, the third largest shareholding and the legal wherewithal to do the foundation fundraising ideas.

    Maybe there’s too many interested in having their own groups and not the confidence to win popular support.

    Too many egos involved?

    I certainly don’t have the all the answers.

    I’ve posited one idea of winning control of the trust as a way to exert pressure with added clout of the shares etc.

    Maybe I should setup the Dundee United Supporters Coalition and demand my place at the table with ST.

    Seems to be the done thing these days.

    A re*****ised AT could have a management committee comprising reps from FU DUBC DUSF FED etc (who have I missed), and the best from AT itself. That would be be a formidable committee/org. It would be nice to think that some in these organisations have read this thread and thought, yeah. Our club is in danger and this is no time for ego's and splinter groups with different agendas.
