Don't really know, there actions over the last week "appear" on the surface to be disgraceful. So for this reason I'd vote B
Having said that I don't know of anything that they have achieved that can be marked down on their CV as groundbreaking. So for this reason, I'd vote C
I have never been convinced to join, by anyone. So for this reason I'd vote A
But then again, I have enjoyed the two events what they have put on that I have attended, but that isn't their job.
I'm voting C, hoping they'll convince to me to vote otherwise, but I suspect their days are well and truly numbered

I voted the second option, but in truth I think it might be a bit unfair to the Trust. There comments on this and various other message boards about MM have certainly seemed to have the agenda of dissuading people from his bid, but we havn't seen any official words from the FT. The comments coming from the Trust don't necessarily represent the opinions of all those involved, but just the person that posted them. This is wrong and shouldn't be seen as coming from the Foxes Trust, but it could be more the mistakes and wrongdoings of 1 or 2 people, rather than all those involved in running the Trust.
There's talk of the FT leaking negative stuff to the press, but from what I know we don't know for sure that it did come from them.
Admittedly, the lack of information officially coming from the Trust is wrong, and the fact that they havn't made an official statement on the takeover talk since the end of October is bad, but if that's their biggest problem then I'm not too bothered.
Having said all that, I don't pay much attention to stuff relating to the Foxes Trust, so may be missing information that would change my opinion. To be honest, I'm pretty ambivalent about the FT, don't care too much about them either way.... just replying as a distraction from coursework really.

Haven't voted, as none of the 4 options seem adequate. Not sure what you mean by "antics of the last few weeks" - there have been so many allegations flying around about what they have done or not done and supposed motives.
In principle I am strongly in favour of the whole supporters direct movement and its aim of getting a more influential voice for ordinary fans in the running of the game.
As far as the Foxes Trust is concerned, I believe it played a vital role in the rescue package post admin. The fact that large numbers of ordinary fans were prepared to chip in helped to make up some people's minds to join the consortium with substantial sums. It also allowed a number of us who wanted to be part of the rescue, but could not come up with the sort of sums needed, to do so.
It's regular work focusing on the academy & sponsoring young players is in my view invaluable. And it is good to have a grassroots group in a position to prick the consciences of the board from time to time. And its regular lobbying of councillors, MPs etc. is also good.
I would criticise it for sometimes being slow to respond to issues and for not making some of its public statements clear, including getting across why it often has to be constrained by confidentiality. It is also disappointing that the membership is not larger than it is - I really wish that more those who have problems over particular issues (as opposed to those who, for whatever reason simply object to its existence) would join and argue their point.
I could do a 10 page essay, but.....

Logging in under a different user name just to vote is naughty
You know who you are - and it's not one of the trust supporters.
I wish I had put on the 'lets see who vote for what' option now!

Confidentiality Issue -Of course they are shareholders of the club, they have to remain confidential, it would be unprofessional to act otherwise and fair play to them for this.
However, you can NEVER truly represent the fans in this situation. It's one or the other I'm afraid.
We are just customers, there are things that go on within the club that we shouldn't know about. Having the FT on the board just raises issues for both parties

It's good of Hazzman to do this, but really there should be about 100 options, which isn't on really. Therefore I cannot vote, for the same reasons as Old Git.
