Exactly Newts, maybe if all of us with common sense had paid up and joined the FT, our voices would have been heard.What has it got to do with the trust in the first place ,how can you speak for the fan's when you don't ask us ,unless we join and pay for membership of the trust
It's easy to have an opinion about something important, do nothing about it, and then moan when it goes against you later.
Like what the FT do or not, at least they are doing something!!!

The situation is not that simplistic.
Some of us have argued that the organisation concerned should have no role and that a few people who are 'leading' it are basically trying it on.
Obviously, the membership of that organisation will include a whole range of different people - of various views and degrees of commonsense. But its leaders are a problem.
I don't think people are saying that MM took the decision not to look at Warnock solely on that organisation's advice. However, I concede that it has come as a bit of a shock that he referred to them at all.
In my opinion the organisation in question started with the best of motives but it has now lost its original purpose and based on the poorly judged advice given to MM together with the weasel role that it played in the take over saga, I would say it is now doing more harm than good to the interests of Leicester City.

I doubt MM asked for their opinion, even if he did his decision would not have been unduly influenced.
Even on here Colin was not a popular choice, and MM would have got the same opinion from any source.
And at the end of the day its only ever been them expressing opinions, if the old board (during the takeover) or MM are not able to form there own without the help of the FT then they are the stupid ones, not the FT.
I am not a member, nor do i think they benifit the club in anyway anymore. But i find it impossible to believe they are damaging the club. Let them get on with it and enjoy themselves IMO.

Who said he took the decision on the FT's advice alone?
The point is that the Trust is crowing about the influence that they had in this respect and it has been pointed out that in view of the way that Warnock has turned Palace around, there is little to crow about.

Saw him in the Corporate bit yesterday, whats he still doing here
He's still a supporter, he got involved with the consortium that saved the club because he's a supporter, and put loads of his own money in - which he's lost most/all of, along with the other shareholders.

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. A man doing the job that job in many other settings would be earning far more than Tim Davies did at City - it was costing him money every day that he worked for us. He worked hard and long and was well worth the money he got.
It's easy and fashionable to slag people off without referencing any of the facts - but without him, and people like him, City would never have come out of administration and would never have been restored to the kind of going-concern that was able to attract Mandaric to venture a bid.
I haven't seen what the FT have written - and I rarely agree with them - but if they've been saying good things about TD, it's because the man genuinely deserves it.

Tim Davies's pay package was set by the Renumeration Committee (which consisted of several of the Non-Exec Directors & 1 other shareholder).
The levels set were aimed at the "mid point" for such a role, so not the cheapest pay possible, but far from the most expensive. His package in the first year was higher due to a re-location allowance & a bonus for us winning promotion, but subsequent years the package was far less. Be interested to see what the new Chief Exec is paid
Then as pointed out by Jeff, like other shareholders unless we are promoted in the next 2 seasons, he will only have received 10% of his original investment back.

this was the man that was well in favour of the tigers collaberation...for that i can never say anything favourable about him
Do you know all the facts on his side? you shouldnt make your mind up without all the facts, i for one dont so wont comment.
All i knew is Tim was a supporter and still is, and was a honest man - numerous times offering his time to talk to fans, they may have been his job but not many do it. Plus he gave many i knew tickets to matches after complaints - i believe Notts got a few of him at one point
