I don't really see how it is a problem if it was the board that made the decision. Fan ownership should mean we appoint a board to make such decisions, not consult with the fan ownership anytime they want to make them. The rep from TJF on the board will be stuck with the same confidentiality issues that faced the Jags Trust rep years ago, they could know all of this was going on in the background and not legally be allowed to tell anyone including TJF board members.
There's an argument that an interim board shouldn't be making these decisions when they're essentially just there for some stability whilst the structure of how fan ownership is going to work gets sorted out I suppose.
