Until an investor(s) come forward or can be found and can more than match the funding provided by the Trust, we should be building membership.

No investor will be found because we are not looking and don't want investment. One is not going to come forward until its explicitly made clear we are actively seeking, or at least actively seeking investment.

It’s a matter of time now the sinking ship was slowly plummeting for years, Spencer/mills/jones just decided to shoot a few extra holes in too speed up the process.

Anyone who is defending the current model is ideologically driven thr club could be relegated and would not listen.

*actively seeking or at least welcoming to offers of investment

Nobody with money is going to be interested in handing it over to the likes of Spencer Harris to waste are they ?

I would expect them to be 100% new owners or at least majority owners which means new board with WST representation.

Absolutely embarrassing interview. He got torn a new one and rightly so. He's not the brightest is he?

This man is representing our club remember and he's making an absolute arse of it.

Arrogance is off the scale. The so called 'apology' last week was just words, that's been made clear from this interview.

The part where he says we do want the members want, what a fcking liar. Bare faced liar. But we knew that already.

And you heard it from the horses mouth, they aren't looking for investment nor do they welcome it, more things most of us on planet earth knew already.

Fan ownership has failed mostly down to a minority clique that controls it and the jobs for the boys mentality. Fans who support this lot carry just as much blame and should be ashamed of themselves.

One thing to come out of this mess is that Spencer and Co, can no longer act with impunity.
Genie is out of the bottle now. There may not be anybody interested in investment. But even if there was, they wouldn't want it.

Meaning in real terms representation with no influence.
That was a trick tried by the previous owner who wanted all the trust money for a seat on the board. Knowing that meetings of a board in those circumstances could see decisions made behind closed doors and rubber stamped in a formal meeting. (I understand that this could still be done under any ownership model

yep.

If someone is buying the club and putting money in, then it would be expect they would have full control. I would want that if it was me.

Hence we need to be sure they are the right person!
