Surely a night of firsts! I don't doubt you said about a boycott, and I DEFINITELY said a TOTAL boycott of sisu is the ONLY way forward. I was effectively lynched by the clique, claiming they couldn't afford to burn bridges. Maybe I am biased, but I think ANY bridges that they wanted to keep open have been burnt to a cinder tonight!
Wasn't it a surprise with such a limited number of questions being asked, at least 7 were asked by the trust who were selected at "random" By Mr linnell - what a surprise!
It ended up the FARCICAL trust and Tim show. Linnell as far as I remember didn't allow ANYONE to come back when TF answered a question. And by doing so, it ensured the people there became more and more worked up, and ended up as a slanging match. Which I have no doubt was brilliant for ratings - who DOESN'T like a good slanging match, but did it achieve ANYTHING?
Nothing new came to light, anything TF said could be classed as misunderstood if push came to shove. Basically, the time passed LONG LONG ago when talks were going to sort this out. Sisu don't even deny that months ago they were looking to move away!
The losers as always are the fans. The trust get their voice heard (pointless but GREAT for egos) TF was allowed to sound reasoned and rational (IF you don't look at the actions OUTSIDE of the forum), and Linnell ONCE AGAIN gets to boost his credentials by hosting what I presume would have been a widely listened to broadcast.
Basically, EVERYTHING that happened tonight could have and indeed WAS predicted to happen. Passion is great, but sadly the questions asked were hardly killer blows. It's not as if there isn't the ammunition.
No sadly ONCE AGAIN failed to represent the members properly. But what do you expect from a group that will NOT investigate breaches of its OWN rules unless you are prepared to pay £500!
So basically they will be open honest and transparent EXCEPT when it comes to their OWN members hate campaigns!
And when you consider their founder Jan PROMISED - he said TRUST me that ANY repeat ANY attacks or threats will NOT be tolerated and ANY such attacks (there have been MANY - INCLUDING from members of the board) then he ASSURED me that they would be dealt with.
All of a sudden Mr Fletcher, gets EXTREMELY DEFENSIVE, criticises me for NOT being to speak to them in private, and said that they would ONLY investigate if I was prepared to pay them £500!
Now how on earth can they POSSIBLY claim to be open honest and transparent, yet expect to be PAID to sort out their OWN house!
No wonder they are ENCOURAGING hate speech, it's another way of getting funds into the coffers!
And they wonder why I detest the very notion of them as the voice of the fans, and why I find it utterly distasteful that they are working towards a FREE place on the board of coventry city!
They CLAIMED I was mistaken about them being secretive. Today has PROVEN I was RIGHT all along!
They have let EVERYONE - not just their OWN members, but EVERYONE by hijacking the forum, then asking inane questions!
The sooner the trust disbands - the BETTER
