TOPIC: Its all gone quiet on the Fans Rep front

Entries close on Friday.

Has anyone applied? Is anyone going to? Are the club keeping quiet and hoping the post will be forgotten about?

Mullen wins by default?!

Nice picture Bumble on CUFC's facebook site of our former fans' rep and our leading trouble-maker.

I've applied and i know of 1 other that is going to.

However I'll wait and see what comes out of the meeting with AJ and JN as to whether i withdraw it or not.

Barge pole activated !

Are you still standing Mullen?

I know there are some on here that feel no one should stand but I feel it would be a real shame for the door toi close on this project. If no one applies. I doubt the door will ever open again.

Yeah the application is still in.

I don't think anything can be seriously achieved though, without having representation on the holdings board, the confidentiality agreements and all details coming out have to be vetted by the club, but the position needs to remain because under the owners if no one applies that would be it.

Whether me or someone else with the same principles, electing someone that doesn't see eye to eye with them would send out a strong message.

Mullen you must have a heart of a lion mate to have any dealings with them maggots, But good luck....

In its current form, I thinks its impossible to be a fans rep and also a director, as has been proven. Whoever gets it will need to decide where they take it, do they sign anything and do they accept being a director.

The owners can't have this position there own way. What I would of done is have a pre meeting where i had a list of my requirements which have to be agreed or a compromise in place. Such as treated with respect, being able to release own notes "unless communicated clearly" something is confidential, being able to have own opinion, If questions aren't answered then it can be noted, A dedicated agenda in the meeting for fans questions, the ability to ask questions relating to the holdings company - if its a holdings company issue than it must be minuted thats the case and others i'd think of. Not Claires fault but she had no document she could refer to on what she wanted to achieve and how she expected the other directors to behave.

I thought hard about applying but there is more to life than stressing about football, and plus if there was a different regime in charge then applicants would be a plenty. Its a poisoned chalice now and its fighting a losing battle before you start.

I tend to agree re the fans rep being a director. The minute they step in the boardroom they have their hands tied as to reporting back to the fans, which is after all, what they were voted on to do. I think boundaries for both sides would have to be much clearer this time round.

It will be a very difficult job, particularly at the moment, so many factions all of which deserve to be heard and looked after; from the ultra militant "everybody out" brigade to the the "everything's ok" brigade and all shades in between. I do think it's worth giving it another go and I hope a few people have applied.

I'd rather be sectioned to a straight jacket under the mental health act, Than go anywhere near Nixon and Co....

Theres a simple answer to this problem instead of the topic being discussed being left out of the report on the meeting under a confidentiality agreement

The meeting is minuted by a professional [ not one of the kids out of the office or Andy Hall from a recording ]and released within 5 days with anything thought to be confidential redacted at least that way you can get a better idea of the flow of the meeting and who said what. Done that way all that should be blanked out are names and amounts really.

Anything less than that isnt confidentiality its censorship and as for matters that turn out to be declared Holding Co business then that should be forwarded to that board and a reply sent back in time for the next 1921 board meeting if the answer hasnt come back then it should be minuted as such.
