Not sure who that is aimed at Stan but if my post came across as pedantic then apologies. I was trying to be helpful. I know things get personal on here at times but I'm not interested in that kind of thing.
I try to be courteous in my posts as I think that's the way to debate.
Point taken, I'll try to be more courteous. Moving on save possibly Amberexile it would appear that we can all accept the Trust Directors and the club Directors being the same people for al;l practical purposes they are the same thing.
You are also aware that as you put it a small group run the club 'day to day'. And albeit without malice why I think yourself and to a far greater extent Amberexile have done a disservice to those trying to find out what is going on at Newport County.
I don't care whether it's the supporters trust and club trust or supporters trust and club, because the distinction doesn't matter let alone the the semantics. But it concentrating on the such minor points the big issue is lost.
A small group of directors have taken over the club. They make the decisions and present them to the board to be rubber stamped. Now I clearly jest when I compare them to Stalin. Nobody is murdered. there are no Gulags,, But the principle is the same. The idea that there is any accountability is nonsense. Directors leave if they are not prepared to be yes-men, and in the end it all falls apart.
So decisions are made. Foxhall gives Flynn a wage rise so he, Flynn, is paid way over the odds for a League 2 manager. Costs are further increased because a mentor, Lawrence, has to be employed for the inexperienced Flynn. And then comes the rainy day, Covid, and the finances are up the spout. And because supporters have been excluded the crowd funder appeal is one sixteenth as successful as that of Sligo Rovers.
Now by all means disagree with my analysis, But please try and look at the bigger picture.
Now the upshot of this is that the supporter owners of Newport County are disenfranchised. And the result of that is the shambles we now have. And clouding the issue with there not being a club trust is in my view, unhelpful.
