We are fan owned. If you are a member of the CFU you own shares in this club and have the right to elect people to the board to represent your views. You also have the right to deselect these people when you feel they are inept.
If you do not engage wholeheartedly with the model and exercise the rights you are afforded by the model then we will no longer be fan owned and you’ll prove yourself right.

Can you elaborate on wholeheartedly for me. I was at the meeting last night and I saw a lot of wholeheartedly people speaking and not one of them agreed with the board. Thanks for letting me know that our board can be deselected. When do we vote for that? |

Thanks for letting me know that our board can be deselected. When do we vote for that? So, the current chairman has presided over our club since early 2017 and in that short time has undone almost all of the great work that had been done before him. He's been shown to be a liar on more than one occasion. Allowed 2 failing paid staff to continue in their job for far too long in JM and MM and has left it until the very last minute to inform the supporters of the very dire financial situation the club are currently in. He has been asked to stand down and refused, so I see only one other option. To call an EGM with the sole motion of no confidence in Jonny Hughes as chairman/director and that he should be relieved of his position immediately. We need 5% of the CFU membership to call a meeting. I make that 53 members. If you back the motion or indeed would like it extended to include the whole board then email me your name, email address and membership number and if we get 53 then I'll officially put that to the board.

Last night is an example of people engaging with the model wholeheartedly, yes, and I hope that the level of interest is maintained because it’s when the board aren’t held to account and people take their foot off the gas that we run into problems. Sure thing. An EGM needs to be called for that, and there’s already a thread on here with somebody seeking the relevant number of members backing the resolution for that to happen. EDIt; I see Pseduscally (the creator of that thread) has responded above about the EGM, so cheers for that |

I think the EGM call and wheels in motion on that shows things are, and action is being taken. To be clear, you could not do that with a private owner you utter bellend. |

Now say something helpful and constructive. We could sell the rights of our youth Academy players. If we sell any player they would get a percentage of the fee and the sell on fee. That would be something people would buy into and give us the cash we need . Is that felpful and constructive enough for you. |

Buy the time this is put in place and we have replaced the board we will be in administration. Letters will have to go out saying who wants to our new board members . We have to give time for this. They will have to be voted in at a egm meeting. This all has time frames from one step to the next. If the board resigned to day it would take about a mouth to have a new board. By that time we are ? |

Simple question, if we were not fan owned, could an EGM be called? Yes or No. |

We need a supporters trust. Outside of CFU meetings, the fans are without a voice. What then when people feel they don’t have a voice in a supporters trust? Make another one? Keep going until we have one per supporter? The CFU is democratic when people can be arsed trying to change it. Talking about setting up another group is divisive lunacy. |

It's not divisive. It's simply an impossibility for the CFU to act independently of the board whilst upholding it's professional integrity. |

Divisive by its very nature. WE are the CFU and are independent of the board. They represent us and it is up to us to hold them to account within the CFU. |

But nothing to show the outside world except pages of understandable rage and frustration. No proper statement from the fans. |

I'd suggest wheels in motion for an EGM is a pretty hefty statement.
