Too True.

When the hour cometh.. The man didn't.

Now that the situation truely needs a leader. There is nobody at Argyle stepping up.

What is the plan now? Just carry on with the election as if there are no concerns, and then announce the winners in a few weeks?

That will go down well.

I fear that is exactly how things will unfold, Ricks. "Here is the result, the board will now be left to get on with it, the club will make no further (ha) comment on the matter".

The Trust has drafted a proposal to the club, which Linda will be sending today.

We won't comment on that until we receive a response.

My thoughts as well, that's why the Trust need to nail something to the mast and make it quite clear that any representation based on the present dire, predictable and engineered 'set up' would not be acceptable!

Understandable Tim, I hope it's something strong because the majority will be behind it!

The trust may find their membership figures growing as a result.

Interesting, all the time he was outside looking in, he could dish it out. Now he's on the inside ....nothing.

Not all his own fault and maybe he's knocking down doors and demanding answers on the quiet before making some kind of announcement. Bear in mind, he's got his day job to do and there should be paid professionals at PAFC that should have responded.

The fact that the club has not even acknowledged that there's a problem publically is really piss poor.

I agree to an extent, but there are plenty of people who've got day jobs to do who have managed to comment, and in the case of Tim Chown, show a whole lot more leadership on the issue.

And it's a truth universally acknowledged that the Supreme Leader doesn't do anything at the club without tweeting about it or at least briefing people to post messages on his behalf so he's presented in a positive light to the adoring masses. If he was doing something, we'd have heard about it.

He has little to say about FV these days either. Is that because it;s not the roaring success he hoped for or that the Devenport end is n ot the happiest place these days. Seems to me the Pres loves the publicity and actively seeks it at every opportunity as seen yet again with the post box nonsense but not so when things are not going according to plan. I can't remember exactly what he said pre season but it was alongthe lines of there would be several great initiatives, firsts for football and so on but where are they and what has improved so dramatically. We have a cringeworthy manufactured Devonport end, murals of "club legends", a PASB joke that nobody apart from a handful of candidates is interested in and after the latest fiasco only one of those has the integrity to stand down, we are doing worse on the field than last season, we have a bloated squad of 30 or so pros, etc. etc. I would much rather those who seem happy to go along with things as they are partly because they are currently in the in crowd and maybe fear being out of the in crowd with too many changes around the club concentrated all their efforts in getting things improved on the field as without that everything else is a waste of time.

The trouble with building an Empire is that eventually, that Empire will fall.

OK, but could we at least have the empire bit first before it falls alien

The last 12 months has built more of a sand castle than Empire. The tide is getting closer all the time thankfully.

Meanwhile one mans desire to get elected continues unabated.

Far from it Woz, but I think the PASB for all its flaws needs to have no more delays and be up and running. I repeat what I said much much earlier, the U18 votes can be taken out, not hard to identify. Not ideal, but passable. I am standing four square behind the concept of the PASB not the long and winding road its taken to get here.

On the broader point, what do you think of the 6 seats for supporters groups and how they are to be organised? Perhaps those calling for improved democracy will turn their gaze there. Yet all of us who are pro the PASB just want it up and running.

For sure, I will remain a vocal observer, elected or not!

On your broader point if you looked broader than Pasoti you would see that from the outset ATD has questioned the way the supporter groups pick their GasBoard members. And to broaden the broader point ATD spotted that flaw from ypthe outset and have broadly condemned it. If only someone broad minded enough who has been to all the GasBoard meetings has saw fit to bring it up.

To put this broadly on the table there have been calls on ATD for supporter groups to provide membership numbers and financial statements together with a call that they vote not nominate.

And to not to put to broad a point on it if the Trust elections had been such an unmitigated cock up I can think of one or two people who would have been cheerleaders in chief waving their anti trust pom poms from the rooftops calling foul in the loudest most vocal manner. Go figure that it's hunky dory to continue with the GasBoard election.

He really is determined to hammer the Trust at every opportunity. He's got to follow orders I suppose!

tonyc is the sort of person you dont want sitting on any board, comes across as power hungry and will be a puppet too speaking for his mates rather than fans.

The PASB is the only game in town when it comes to fully representing fans within the club, because it is the only body that will have at its core "face time" with the Board and an ability to examine the Board. The Trust do not have that and will not have that, its that simple.

The phoniest of phoney arguements from the self selected man of the people.

The point is it only the 'only game in town' because James Brent has bestowed that honour on the Gasboard on the flimsy notion that the Trust didn't represent enough of the fan base.

As its a gift given it can easily be taken away at any point in the future and mores to the point it could as easily even at this late stage the honour of face time with the board can be for the Trust to use.

So it really is simple but not in the way Mr Hooper says it is.
