Yeah, he's made mistakes and is out of his depth but at least we've heard from him even if it isn't what we wanted to hear.


So what about the others, like Gavin Jones? What gives him immunity to criticism? From what I've heard he's a bigger problem than most yet he never gets mentioned.
I agree, too many of them are happy to remain silent and allow Spencer to take the flak.
I think SH should remain on the board in a reduced capacity, keep away from the on field matters but continue with the Kop redevelopment and training ground (if that must continue) as he appears to have built up good relations with local agencies willing to help the club.

We definitely need a full time, paid CEO to be in charge of all the well meaning volunteers and pull everything together.

Agree he is out of his depth in his role, not sure he is full of self importance though... For all the bad, Pete loves the club I just believe honestly that like most of the trust hard-line he is too wedded to the idea of maintaining the status quo. I think they mostly mean well, but poor execution and lack the ability to reflect on their achievements or lack thereof.

There are some very nasty, murky behaviours lurking at the club though - the recent attempt to discredit Don Bircham is just one example of this.

Most disappointing in Petes statement is the not so thinly veiled swipes he takes at other fans and his distaste for the EGM attempt... The swipe at fans furthers the prevalence of an us and them attitude, the lack of respect for the EGM process indicates a lack of respect for the democratic process which Pete himself helped to establish.

I'd agree with that, at least he's shown some balls. They all need to go.

its really sad that people continually post drivel like this.

On another fans site there is a thread already with over 50 posters registering their thanks to Pete for his efforts the vast majority of whom used to post on here but have given up because of the level of debate.

it will be a vote of the new WST board at the first Trust board meeting following the AGM. All board members will be able to put themselves forward.

For some it's better to have no debate, I suppose.

I wonder if they’re aware of things like the resolutions not being acted on, the questions from the Q and A being ignored, the allowing of heckling at public meetings, the minutes which aren’t a true reflection of what happened at board meetings, and other things along those lines? Most people here are, which probably explains their discontent.

In fairness, I think some are finding it hard to generate thanks for someone who has overseen the worst footballing period in the Clubs history.

It's akin to giving 'thanks ' to Bryan Hughes (the manager)
