WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Just came in to post that as it appeared in my feed, having been liked by Chris Waugh. Glad I cancelled my membership, it's clearly a closed shop and a best pals club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Alex Hurst magically rejoined after the takeover happened has left a sour feeling for many members. Seems like a True Faith clique with Charlotte and Marc Corby also on the board (Although at least Marc Corby comes across decent on the podcasts) Edit - Just reading his tweets and replies and it seems he had a few fresh ideas which were dismissed quickly by the others. Also the 2nd board member to step down within the last month. Not a good look at all Edited December 1, 2021 by Pokerprince2004 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Telling as fuck they don't announce Board resignations but waxed lyrical about how great Hurst coming back was straight away.

TRon Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Never really bothered with True Faith before, but following the takeover a lot of these NUFC youtubers started showing up in my feed. I saw one with Hurst where he had Caulkin, Waugh and Downey, it was a couple of hours long so I didn't sit through it all, but was a canny watch tbh. I don't listen to football podcasts, but the TF youtube show is pretty slick. And by slick I mean by fan vlog standards. It's not going to win awards, but it's like the directors cut compared to some of the stuff that's out there, like Covid kid Adam Pearson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The promise to explain it was disingenuous to be fair. Because it hasn't happened. Do you think there's a link between the the arrival on the board as overseen by the chair and the recent departures from it?

Fantail Breeze Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Still trotting out the “Greg is a good guy” as he shits on his fellow fans and Board members while Alex plays him like a puppet. This has been obvious to most for a long time. Shame people are still giving them the time of day. How many genuinely good people need to walk away before people take notice?

If you knew/met him and knew what he did for our club under Ashley never mind from within NUST, you’d get it. I get no-one is free from scrutiny especially as a public figure, and it’s kind of biased to defend or stick up for people you know/have met/or know of, but trust me Gregg is a top bloke and if I owned NUFC, he’d be on any board to help run the club along with many other members on here. Give him some slack, target those in the Trust that are there for the wrong reasons, because I guarantee Gregg isn’t and I hope for all his efforts, the Trust doesn’t end up going by the wayside, and indeed for us as fans. For all my criticism and current dislike of the Trust, fans need a supporters trust and representation. More so than ever!

He bypassed everything to reinstate Alex and has driven out good people in the process. The Trust have achieved fuck all under his leadership and if anything, it has divided the fanbase further at a point we should be more united than ever. Maybe he is a nice person to have a pint with. But his underhand ways of running the Trust are bullshit and it’s been a complete shambles. Your defence of Greg is no better than Gary Neville defending OGS’s performance because he’s his mate and a “nice guy”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair points, but - right or wrong - I put my trust and faith in people who I know are the good guys and I accept no-one is above criticism and I more than accept that the Trust has fucked up and Gregg right or wrong has to be part of that, but I’m loathe to hang someone out to dry who I know is doing it for the right reasons and doing whatever he does for the best of NUFC fans. Something needs done though because all is not well or good obviously and the buck does indeed stop with the top man. Me, I hope they succeed and we end up with a Trust that benefits all fans, but to be honest, personally, I’m not that interested now and have zero willingness to be bothered either way.

Graeme has intimated in his tweets he felt he was being attacked by someone / some people within the Trust. Effective and strong leadership wouldn't allow that to happen.

I’m kind of selfish here, I was all for the Trust under Ashley, but since the takeover and my faith in the new owners I’m a bit meh, a Trust is needed however and must be an important aspect of the fans and club going forward for both parties. With Gregg in there I at least have some faith… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
