Does anybody think MM just struck lucky at pompy by getting Rednapp?

Certainly some Portsmouth fans believe that.
He hired and fired several managers before having any success. He appointed Redknapp as director of football to help sign high profile players, he only took over as manager after after Graham Rix was sacked. Then when Redknapp left his record of appointing managers was poor, until he got Redknapp back in.

Since they were formed I thought the FT had done an ok sort of job, perhaps a bit full of their own self importance but by and large ok.
Since MM came on the scene though they seem to have lost the plot. Instead of acting responsibly they have helped to fuel the speculation with their nudge, nudge suggestion and innuendo. They've been like a small child who's been told to keep his mum's Christmas present a secret but is really bursting to say what he knows. Bason's reported comments today though are a disgrace. He has no business inviting a bid from the Tigers and I would not be surprised if from now on the board told the trust to take a hike.
Therefore I voted B.

Just to clarify what was said today

The term "last chance for Tigers" was used. The basis of the comment was that it is doubtful that if MM or another large investor took over the club that they would want to share the ground, it doesn't mean the Trust was stating a case for or against ground sharing.

It has been stated on another message board that the term "put a bid in" was used. I do not recall saying it and doubt I would have used that phrasing, but with live radio words can come out not as meant on occasions.

Context wise it related to us e-mailing members for views on ground sharing, during the interview in relation to the results of the questionnaire we sent out based on the replies up to last night, shows less support for ground sharing than in 2004 when we consulted members previously. The whole purpose of that exercise was so we had a clear picture of our members current views & didn't make any decisions based on members thinking from 2 years ago.

In summary there is no Trust policy on ground sharing, this will be decided after the weekend (as we set a deadline of a week to respond) by our members feedback, that is democracy.

We intend to put more detailed views out on our website tomorrow night.

Exactly and with the hystira of some of the posters on here, no one has even stopped to REALLY look at his record. All they see is where they were when he took over and where they are now.
 
Do the fans have a say about a groundshare?

The Tigers will take over if you let them mark my words.....

Because they have close contact with the board and have access to confidential information that they can't tell fans.

This doesn't have any bearing on keeping the membership updated, replying to the membership about the result of the poll, responding to genuine concerns from members and clearly representing the views of the membership to the media and the Board.

Over the last two weeks the Trust Executive has hidden itself away from 'us', has released titbits akin to gossip and spin and made announcements to the media that can at best be described as flawed.

what do you mean 'hidden itself away'?

They've been more active on message boards and in the media than they usually are, and anyone can contact them in the usual way. How exactly is that 'hidden'?

Which announcement have they made to the press that you believe is flawed?

They have contacted their members by email this week, and I'm sure they will do again if they need more feedback or have anything concrete to report.
 
Information that was meant to be confidential was posted on here with the premise that MM had done it.

How can they take the moral high ground by doing exactly what MM did and trying to discredit him.

I hardly venture onto this forum Jeff, but on FoxesTalk FT has avoided answering all recent questions put to him.

The website has not been updated, no results from the survey have been given to the membership and posts that have been made on FT have been nothing more than gossip and spin.

The radio interview did not use the right language (read his post) which is hardly appropriate.

You have no problem with the amount of feedback the Exec are giving you, fine...that is your perogative. Me? I'm pissed off and demand better.

The FT have posted on here tonight to say that people were given a week to answer the questions, so there are no results yet because the questions were asked less than a week ago.

The FT work in their spare time. I'm sure much of their time this week has been taken up by meetings etc. When they have something to say and time to write it, I'm sure their website will be updated.
Maybe they should stop posting on sites like this and communicate just through the website. But if they did that people would accuse them of being aloof.
 
Ugh

Well theres one.

Surely one bidder totally mis-leading the fans is more than enough.

To make it crystal clear the bid currently in place from MM is nothing like £25m.

As a number of things are taking place, we are maintaining a low profile currently but being kept up to date & have attended both LCFC board meetings this week.

We don't anticipate a quick decision & there are many areas of clarification needed from any party that is interested before a proper proposal could be put to the shareholders.
