No surprises here but I didn't get on the Trust Board 11:33 - Dec 10 with 10755 views | TheResurrection | Just had the nod now so congratulations firstly to the ones that did. I hope you can go someway to changing the old duffery and stale approach I've now had first hand witness to. Although. I guess they'll have their work cut out, especially with the type of questions we were all asked in the interview. Hiding behind collective responsibility in a committee of retired teachers with no energy or balls would always have been a difficult challenge for me. This isn't sour grapes by the way, I expected not to get on. However I'mglad I've been able to put a few myths to bed. The Trust can get applications by the plenty so the old duffers that currently serve, and the some that have for god knows how long, there is now no coherent excuse for your continuation, and you should have the grace to allow new blood with a fresh dimension to take your place. The Trust are also everything I've accused it of over the years. This one wasn't a myth, it was very much true. A closed shop, cosy old boys club. I tried, I insisted on a video interview as I wanted to see the people doing the interviews, I hope the usual suspects and my finest detractors at least respect that. [Post edited 10 Dec 2017 21:42]

Poor decision in my opinion. I don’t think you would have lasted long but you should have had the chance. | |

Yeah that's right, I should've forgot all the years when I've been trying to blow a hole in their transparency by keeping things as secretly and private as they'd liked. Not me Chris but thanks for the heads up. | |

You done what you did via the internet and done it very well.The next step fell to your lap and you was from what I can gather persuaded to put yourself forward.That was great news. The disappointing thing was you putting the private conversation between yourself and the Trust member on full view and in the public domain. I know they dragged their feet and you done it out of frustration and to get a reaction (which you did) but I honestly think that in itself was enough for them not to consider you. | | | |

Exactly. He seemed to go out of his way to do it too when all he had to do was STFU for a few days. | |

No surprises here but I didn't get on the Trust Board on 12:14 - Dec 10 with 2857 views | TheResurrection | For me the most important thing is having some sort of control over what the Trust does, and that can only come from knowing how it operates and who exactly are involved. I think the last few weeks has highlighted the Trust like never before. It had 15 applications for new members, numbers not seen before. And why? Simply because for once these elections were properly discussed, debated and brought to life. Phil has done his part, so has Matt, they stuck by their principles and have brought attention to the difficulties and challenges from within our own board room. Each and everyone of the Trust Board will now need to prove why they're on there and not just enjoy sitting in a committee to be slightly more in the know than they were before. What do you bring to the table, what are your views and move away from hiding behind each other and leaving the odd few take the flack | |

Putting Trust conversations into the public domain might be exactly what needs to happen. The stench of the "closed shop" is the biggest problem facing it at the moment. A continued air of silence and secrecy is not the way to go about solving that. | |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

I felt as if they had to to bring back some credibility untill he gave them a very good excuse not to by posting private conversations on here. | |

No surprises here but I didn't get on the Trust Board on 12:19 - Dec 10 with 2817 views | SkettyJack | Confidentially was such a key focus of the interview questions that I can't say I'm surprised that you didn't get on the board. Personally I feel that some of the questions were as a direct result of posters putting it to the trust board and openingly challenging them on here. They don't like it I have heard anything as yet | | | |

I don't care about that to be honest Chris, it's all about the Swans for me and the foot soldiers having a bit more influence, control or even know how. I'm glad I have played a small part in bringing the goings on within the Trust more into the open, and I don't mean just recently, I mean over the last few years too. It's not about Nigel Hamer or Stu MacDonald or anyone person in particular, it's about our football club. | |
