With all respect, I think putting these rumors to bed would be a better option wouldn't they?

Most of us are paid up trust members so it is essential they respond. I would say as this paints jan in a negative light towards Elliot and other trust members this is possibly a leak from someone inside the trust to show him in a negating light.
Whatever the level of animosity that exists the trust hierarchy have to maintain cordial relations with the club or it just becomes an irrelevant protest group. I would suggest the more intelligent members of the trust accept this.
So we have a mischievous email which has not been confirmed as genuine. It seriously maligns Jan. ML didn't, theoretically post it - so he's clean, but the damage is being done. ( probably the plan ). The trust should really put their house in order. They are leaving themselves open to attack. Recently they were dressed down for not following procedures at the SCG meeting. This is silly. When you know the other side ( CCFC in this case - strange as it sounds ) is out to get you and divide you, you should be perfect. Don't give them an inch. They ( Jan, Michael and John ) must now meet up and put their cards on th table and issue a joint statement. Is Jan pushing John out of the door? If so, tell him. The others are telling him, apparently - if the email is true - anyway.

If trust members have any questions regarding this they can e mail the trust directly or go to a trust meeting and ask questions. Well that's what I'd do.

aren't we all irrelevent protest groups ?. If SISU wont listen to a 90% drop in support, then how could any protest group make them listen ?

They need to look into it, and verify or not, sources, emails etc, well away from here I'd have thought.
Once that's done, to everybody's satisfaction then some sort of statement, denying, or confirming accusations would have to be made nbefore paranoia and witch-hunts get up an even bigger head of steam.
Agree though, the febrile atmospher of this place not the best place for any initial statements.

And all that has happened is even more accusations from SISU. Whatever accusation that will take away any meaning of our questions as some feel as though they have to prove what they say which can be difficult sometimes. Just like what happens on here but they are more ruthless at it.
Fuck off SISU.

Oh dear! There is a leak
Don't see anything wrong with that to be fair (If what they say is True, which I am sure Jan will answer)
Is this the same one as the other day I take it? What did jan bcc in Simon about?
The trust's silence on these issues is worrying but hopefully Jan can put these claims to bed
This is what we covered here http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-director-accused-underhand-6841703
The email I was BCCd into was the invitation from the Trust to host a forum to discuss the club's accounts.
Perhaps it wasn't the best way to do it, but as media officer it's not really a surprise Jan wanted to let me know about the invitation. Surely that's his job?
I also didn't contact Mr Labovitch until after he'd responded to Jan. So it wasn't like we caught him on the hop. He'd already decided to turn down the invitation.
All a bit of a distraction from the wider issues affecting CCFC.

Is that the same email that you had in regards to that article?

Looks the same as the one we were leaked. Couldn't say if it's word for word the same until I'm in the office. Looks like it though.
And before you ask, I genuinely don't know who leaked it to us!

Question for Mr Labovitch, which I hope will be answered because it's a far bigger issue than a squabble with the Trust over BCCing an email to someone:
Mr Eakin on his radio programme asked you this question and you didn't answer it - you talked a bit about Brighton and the Amex/Falmer ground but you didn't answer the question which is in serious need of an answer. If we don't get planning permission what is the back up plan - More years at Sixfields, Upgrade the rugby club ground to league standards, make ACL an offer that is reasonable, cut your losses and fold the club? Those of us that don't think a return to the Ricoh is likely are banking on the new stadium as the only way to return to the Coventry area (and that for all I know may only be me) would like to know what the back up plan is.
I don't think this is a particularly difficult question and it would help set my mind at rest that there is a plan and we know what that plan is. Never mind that we haven't seen any plans for the new stadium yet, we need planning permission before building work can start on that.
So please Mr Labovitch (I'm happy to take the response from HoundDog1987 if that is the preferred way you like to communicate, through a third party) but what is the answer?
What is going to happen if we don't get planning permission for the new stadium?

Interesting if it has been "doctored" too from the one actually sent.

I'm sure this must be a hoax. The writer of this email is not very good at written English - incorrectly spelling with homophones and ranting style - also the odd tautology I noticed (bccing without my knowledge). Surely someone in a senior position at the club is more intelligent/better educated than this.

Why do SISU get so offended by people like Michael Orton? Michael represents probably the majority opinion in wanting SIU out - do SISU only want to deal with people like Jonathan Strange who are supportive of the club's own position?
I have protsted outside SISU HQ, should I also be ejected from the trust on Timmy's whim?

James all questions that were asked but not answered in that interview need asking at every opportunity until answered.
This type of thing should be ignored until the real issues are answered.
Also when is this forum we were promised?

Mr Trench - I'm proposing you for any future committee positions. Anyone who can get homophones and tautology into a football thread deserves a little hero worship. Proof, if it were needed, that football has been usurped from the working classes. Must go now, Pimms in the fridge

Yes - "we don't want the SCG to consist of yes-men...but anyone opposed to SISU has to be kicked out of SBT if they are to continue in the SCG"
Fuck of Labo, we all oppose you except for the few who sup with your futile Q&A sessions

speak for yourself, I trust him. He said this on Jan 15th, some 10 weeks ago now !

You can only publically accuse someone of something (in this case saying something defamatory) if it has been proven in a court of law. Doing so otherwise is defamatory itself.
