No thank you. He can be a fan if he likes but I would not like us to be a kowtowing to "royalty" club.

I'd go further.

Let's have a guillotine on the badge.

Nothing about the manager?
No but Purslow said we have the 7th most valuable squad in the Premier League. At nearly £400 million. He repeated that about 5 times so I expect him to be aware that our Steven is wasting our assets.

So, he is saying that we are massively underperforming then and Gerrard needs to sort it. Sharpish!

Nice to know that this meeting happened. It would have been nicer to be told in advance, but you can't have everything. 

One of the things that was discussed at length at the Trust AGM part of the evening was that they are seriously under-resourced. Mo has been running it pretty much by himself for months, which is unsustainable, and he admitted himself that things are starting to slip - he needs help. Quite a few have volunteered to help him out, so hopefully things will improve soon.

I appreciate that, but as a founder and life member it might be nice to be told about their AGM.

Are you not on the mailing list Dave? I had a notice and even a reminder emailed to me a few days before.

I got it sorted - they were using an old email address and hadn't updated their records.

I think they were deliberately excluding you, Dave. Negative influence and all that.

As has been said Trust are struggling at the moment. Is there anything we can do via the power of this forum to propagate their work and grow membership and therefore more active contributors?

Surely they suffer enough without miserable bastids from H&V joining their ranks?

It was the miserable bastards from H&V who virtually started it.
