No, but that is NOT what I said. I said: " community based club based on the principles set out by Supporters Direct" Now Supporters Direct requires that trusts be registered as an Industrial and Provident Society (IPS). An IPS belongs to its membership: every member owns one share, with a value of £1. Those shares cannot be traded or transferred.

Now it seems to me that if you strongly support the formation of an IPS for your supporters trust and you wish to have representation on your club's board that you are unlikely to support a PLC for the club.

Note I say "have an agenda that is likely to see them anti PLC" I tried to take some care with what I wrote and I don't like to simplify arguments.


But Eddie, you are arguing that to be against one thing is to be for another. That isn't true and IS simplifying things into a them and us basis. There are people here who have said they are unhappy or have difficulties regarding the Trust (Posh Imp for instance, sorry Posh you said it!), yet aren't singing the praises of the plc. People can be against X and also against Y you know.
