Yes it could, but 3BC say they are the only people that know EXACTLY what Mr Weir wanted done with the shares, and they've not exactly been forthcoming with this information. Maybe it was expressed orally, and they're trying their best to adhere to his wishes...? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was the case why did we have the charade of knocking back TJF and no resurrection of the zombie PTFC Trust before now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good point and one that's been overlooked by some. If that's what had been suggested while Colin was still alive then I doubt there would have been much dissent, although there would have been misgivings. Concerns at a Trust with Club Board appointees controlling the Club was the reason stated back in 2019 as to why this could not happen, and yet here we are. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Psychosis Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the board have waited until our best league position in three years to announce this as well. They know fine well that nobody wants to rock a successful boat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are the TJF leadership, by the way. They have known this announcement was coming this week - but so far again nothing. -15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
