Received the following member update from an FU member. Doesn't look good·

"Jump Before Pushed"A Member Update
We (along with the Fed and the Foundation) are finalising an open letter
intended to go to the Club very, very shortly. The letter expresses a motion of
no confidence in Stephen Thompson and requests that he steps down, with
immediate effect, to be replaced by an independent CEO, who would
conduct a root and branch investigation of alt things operational within the

Club.
It would appear that the Club have gained advanced notice (presumably via
Arab Trust who were canvassed by the Foundation, in good faith, during
preparations for the release of the joint statementlopen letter.)
The existing regime is attempting to launch a countermeasure in attempt to
placate the fans and maintain any vestige of power that they possibly can.
They intend to announce that Mr Thompson will step down as Chairman and
will be replaced by Mike Martin, with immediate effect.
This will not provide any opportunity for the independent review that is now
so critical to the wellbeing of our beloved Club, in essence it will be"more of
the same"and may be seen as the last desperate act of the"self-
preservation society"
Do not, therefore be at all surprised by this announcement from the Club
within this week and, no doubt, the attempted positive spin that it will be

wrapped in.
Do not, however, think that we are accepting of this desperate
countermeasure and we will continue to press for real change within the

Club.
No member should now be in any doubt that, as a group, we are having a
VERY significant impact and we must maintain and continue the drive for
positive change. Another positive that our members should note is that now
the Foundation have realigned themselves and can see that by working
together we can be effective.
Fans United, we're getting there! "
