Phil Sumbler speaks of betrayal, hope in ESPN article on 21:30 - Nov 17 by Phil_S | Problem is you read last weeks update as the total update of what is happening - as we explained back at the very last forum, some of what happens needs to remain behind closed doors to retain the confidentiality of discussions and you cannot play everything out in the public domain. As was accepted widely after the last forum people understood why this should be the case and will do so next week as we work through what will be the Trust input/influence into the club because - everyone needs to remember - as we stand today the voting rights stand at more than 75% for our majority owners, something that should be remembered is not the fault of the Trust so quite why the criticism is aimed at the people who are trying to work through this mess is beyond me |

That's a bit of an obtuse statement. They can't be criticised for being pragmatic in negotiations, nor for finding themselves below the 75% voting rights due to the actions of Gonzo, Creosote, Edward and the rest. The HC stuff, then yeah, of course. | ![](/images/avatars/8681.gif) |

Think this but sums it up so I will say it again as we stand today the voting rights stand at more than 75% for our majority owners, something that should be remembered is not the fault of the Trust so quite why the criticism is aimed at the people who are trying to work through this mess is beyond me There is much that the Trust has got wrong but you seem to be looking to us for a magic solution to every problem when the reality is some people have already made part of that impossible to achieve.

Why did the trust agree that Huw Jenkins should stay in role? What is being done to rid the directors box of ex directors on match days? What's being done about the perks stilling being received by the likes of JVZ and Dineen. What's happening with the planned purchase of the stadium. What the plans for the upcoming transfer window.

I will do my best Why did the trust agree that Huw Jenkins should stay in role? I'm not sure we agreed anything, the positions were negotiated as part of the deal that saw the sale of shares take place. Even if they hadn't been the 75% voting rights referred to earlier meant that we don't need to agree it it can happen without our input thanks to the actions of others. What is being done to rid the directors box of ex directors on match days? Happy to state that we completely disagree with this as a process as we stated at our public forum just a few weeks back. As I understand it at the moment some have agreed with the purchasers that they are entitled to these (again as part of the sale terms they agreed) so we continue to push as our view on this does not differ to yours I don't believe What's being done about the perks stilling being received by the likes of JVZ and Dineen. Again, no secrets, we have asked the club to ensure that the tickets gained are above board. If they are being gained for example in the right way (no corners cut) with the relevant memberships then that is one thing, if they aren't then the process should stop. for the LD ones I assume you mean the tickets advertised on the BVS website, my understanding from enquiries is that these are tickets purchased by the company in the correct manner What's happening with the planned purchase of the stadium. I am afraid I have no update on that at the present moment in time What the plans for the upcoming transfer window. To strengthen the squad to a level where we can retain our Premier League status. I won't be discussing transfer targets or such or the level of budget available but suffice to say at the moment we have been invited to gain a greater understanding of this next week at some point but again the outcome of that particular discussion should not be placed in the public domain.

Sorry I missed that question, I don't know the answer I'm afraid but I think it would probably be safe to assume that the manager didn't know him (opinion rather than fact) As with any member of the management team, he can only be judged on results as Bob is at this moment | ![](/images/avatars/8594.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

After recent events I'm not sure you're best placed for condescension. Can't find the the quote about Jenkins. Basically it did state that the trust saw no reason why Jenkins should step down even though there is growing anger towards him.

Is that a dig at me and others or just me ? Lots of people I've spoke to bought into it and lots of those people are deemed to be intelligent, I myself did question on here as to why important people who had massively contributed to where we were at the time of the film coming out were not mentioned in the Film both Managers and people who had worked tirelessly to turn the club around. | ![](/images/avatars/9760.gif) |

Not having any go at you (or SCST) whatsoever just being inquisitive about previous decision making/ruling the Trust had absolutely no involvement with.

I have a question too ask if if i may Phil. Can you confirm that that the £38558 that Huw Cooze received in payment from SCFC during the 2015/16 season was for remuneration for loss of earnings, and expenses only, or was his his salary as SD and SLO paid on top of that figure?

Phil, I understand that you can't go into specific's regarding January transfers, but can you say if its to your knowledge that there will be team strengthening in January in a bid to avoid relegation? I do think that it'll probably be to late by then and I am concerned as to whether some of our "better" players will be looking for moves. | ![](/images/avatars/9760.gif) |
