they only did it to save their cushy positions and vol eu vants
What are you on about?
Cushy positions?
Most of the trust board members don't go in the directors box. Usually a trust member is drawn at random and invited into the directors box on matchdays.
If they had voted against selling their shares presumably they'd still have been able to do this. By voting to accept the bid presumably they will no longer have this option.
So they've decided to sacrifice their "cushy positions" for the good of the club.
