Have they released anything? Are they likely to?

The Sky Blue Trust wishes to pay tribute to Ann.....


It was a honest mistake for which she can't be blamed, she made the statement under clear duress....

Would it make a difference if they did or didn't?

Surely the Sky Blues Trust should care?

They were quick to pin their hopes on Haskell when he was being courted by the Council, so why the lack of response when it seems the Council may have led them a merry dance?

Ah, I see. Do you always have a board meeting, etc before releasing a statement? "We note what AL has to say....we would urge CCFC to open dialogue with Wasps...."

Makes you wonder. Anyway, they have a new love now. A certain Mr Eastwood.

Well if your all trust members then ask them to do it?

If not then why should you care what an organization your not members of do.

After all I am not in the works union so therefore have no interest or say in what they do.

They probably need to clear it with Nicky first to see if he approves of what they say.

Your obsession is getting tedious. If only you used the same approach and energy towards sisu and their wrong doings.

Apologies. I made the mistake in asking if the "one club, one community, one voice" fans' organisation gives a shit.

Would you like to see fan ownership like Swansea at ccfc? Yes or no?

It depends who the fans are running it.

Id also like to see a arab prince throw millions, an audi r8, a ferrari and a mansion.

Where are these fans with the money to run the club?

Yes, as could the arab prince. Anything could work under the correct circumstances couldn't it?

Where are the fans with the money to buy the club and run it?

People are a bit obsessed with swansea aren't they? It's like pressley watching the world cup for formations.

Correct circumstances? What's that mean?
So you would rather a Arab prince with no affiliation to Cov (like sisu) over fans owning the club?

I mentioned the Trust because they're itching to do it and get involved. So you don't think they should get involved then? Are they fans?

But, to be honest, I would hope once we finally get rid of SISU then we don't have any fan ownership.

Good edit....

Obsessed because it fuckin works!!! Look where we are. Look where they are. Rewind 10 years. Both teams moved to new grounds. They were in a league below us,now playing and settled in the top league in front of 20k were 18th league one In front of 6k. That's why! Jesus you actually sound happy under current regime

Are there enough rich fans to keep pumping in money for rent, wages, player purchases and other related costs?

Fans have more passion and pride. Football clubs are about fans. The fact you slag off fellow fans for trying makes me think your happy about where our club is at the minute

Swansea fans only own 21%(?) and high net individuals own the rest. Not massively different to us fans owning shares and robinson, etc putting money in.

I believe that any club with fan ownership of 50%+ are no higher than league two.

How will fan ownership work in the championship, where FFP is different and clubs can lose £13m per annum?

Yes and sometimes too much passion makes bad decisions doesn't it because of it? I'd love a fan to run us, with loads of money and to sort us out.

Where are they? This isn't me saying they don't exist, just where are they?

Like most of the protests, they are done out of passion rather than from the brain

Ha! Where have I slagged off the fans? I agree they have more passion and pride, but they need money too. That's the most important ingredient in modern football. And obviously, I'm not happy, but it seems you throw that accusation at everyone who doesn't agree with you.

I'm meaning fans on the board to work alongside investors. It's not hard to imagine especially with the club falling. Nuneaton were owned by a plumber in the conference. That could soon be us.

No point. Swansea has a council that wants its own club to succeed and doesn't want to whore some franchise in from Cardiff to pay for its stadium.
