Re: Should WST proceed to talks with potential buyers?
 

[QUOTE=blackbrookred;2386073]There can be no reason to vote no at this point. In fact those who do are potentially as dangerous to future of the club as Moss and Roberts.[/QUOTE]

98% of WST members are in favour based off polls on RP and facebook

[QUOTE=dixienormous;2386065]I'm talking about people who are already against it, without seeing any detail.

Surely the people should be naturally excited about this because it could be what we've been waiting for, however we have fan ownership supporters who are clearly against the whole idea, even before seeing what's bon offer.

I have a feeling that there's group who'll vote against this even it's a fantastic and credible offer. It's fan ownership or nothing, and they will be no better than Hamilton.[/QUOTE]

Surely it’s time to stop looking for the enemy within, across the board 98% of fans want to move on to talks with the potential investors. All the vibes seem to be positive that they will be good for the club, a couple of dissenters won’t be able to scupper the deal.

This doesn’t mean we don’t need to put the proposals through due diligence and general scrutiny but let’s all go forward as a united fan base and count our blessings if the proposed deal turns out to be the answer to our immediate issues.

Yes and that's promising. To be honest though I can't understand why it's not 100%, unless some don't understand that there would be further votes down the line.

Wise words Wyn.

Time to stop looking for an enemy within? Haven't a group of people that are very close to the board, and even board members themselves, been bleating about "hidden agendas" for months? Labelling fans with very legitimate concerns as "club killers" and "trouble makers"? Even in some instances personally abusing individuals who dare speak against the trust?

Dixies concerns are well founded given who has been spreading scare stories and ridiculous hypothetical situations. Just the same as we shouldn't agree to a deal before its even proposed we also shouldn't be putting people off with scare stories without hearing the plans going forward

I completely agree with you Wyn.
I perhaps wouldn't have used the term 'enemy' as that can always be a bit contentious, but whatever has gone on, on each side in the recent past ~ and am sure there has been lots and lots of reasons to complain and feel alienated and disheartened by the actions of the club board ~ in the end we can only move forward if we all start to embrace with open hearts a sense of unity in the club that we all love.
It will only ever be success on the pitch that will bring true contentment back to the fan base, but with the prospect of significant investment, then there is a real chance we can achieve that.

Totally agree.

Nothing to fear but fear itself, provided all sides are upfront and the WST complete the due diligence.

When the facts are presented to us, we can decide.
