FAO WST supporters - RedPassion.co.uk

Right, I'm going to stick my head above the parapet and get ready for neg rep, but...

The WST supporters need to take a good long hard think about today's announcement. I'm starting to wonder whether some of you actually want this club to survive or not. Have you actually read the trust vision? They have 2 options, either buy the club without the ground or the ground without the club. Option 1 is by their own admission currently "unsustainable and unviable" because the club has "operating losses too high to bring under immediate control". Option 2 is also a no go because Moss and Roberts seemingly want out asap and are unlikely work with WST to "reduce operating costs".

It is obvious to anyone with half a brain cell that we whilst Booth is the preferred bidder the WST need to compromise and see how it's aims can be met by supporting her bid. Simply hounding her out like a bunch of attack dogs will not lead to a happy end, I'm sure of it. I have been a member and invested hundreds into the WST and still believe in their ethos, but can anyone honestly see the WST bid being viable as a stand alone?

Don't get me wrong, I thought today's pantomime was cringeworthy and Booth has flaws in her plan which need to be ironed out but I am certain that if the WST offer to work with her and impart their vast knowledge we can achieve something to be proud of.

Top post, couldn't agree more.

If Booth is hounded out or she says enough is enough too much negativity etc, the question is what happens to the football club then ? Will we have one to support ? Thats the question, which i havent a clue what the answer is.

She's not a fit and proper person to be leading any Bid

You will get no neg rep from me.

I would guess we would find out about the viability of the WST bid at the public meeting when the details are announced. However, looking at Steph's scheme I don't think that is viable

Until I see the WST's bid/plan I will withold making any judgements, I'm actually looking forward to finding out more about who the Trust's backer is and will attend the meeting on the 14th in the hope of everything becoming clearer.....
