Correct

Timing could be bad if we end up with female CEO Bigger fish to fry i think

Just to update as I appreciate things quiet on Coalition front. We are talking daily surrounding next steps. Its critically important we choose our moments as things go up and down across the supporter base dependent on that days news. I'm reliably informed Suhail returning to Ewood has not strengthened his position, quite the opposite. He's a man under immense pressure and potential replacements (I know not the best news) are already being considered. TRUSTED ADVISOR ,A term I strategically used twice during the FF meeting, is no longer a term that can be used as a fact, hence I used it!!!. The supporter silence publicly don't mean we are having the summer off. As recently elected Co-Chair of the trust, in conjunction with my Action Group Chair responsibilities, there is also some work to do here too, whilst I remain active in the Coalition too. WATR Needs to grow its credibility, something Ive been honest with the board from the start. Its going to take some hard graft, but I believe we've the board members to do this. Close season always a tough time for media pressure, but using this time wisely for the road in front of us all is critically important. Nothing has changed regarding the Coalitions position, As ive maintained the Coalition dont stop group activities, and as Action group lead I'm pressing on as I always do taking out things brick by brick, strategically This of course means less members of the coalition are involved with some things occurring purely to keep the hatches locked and prevent indirect leaks.

Delay now on Club side, FF finished their updates some days ago.

To be clear , the club to the best of my knowledge ain't holding the minutes up. They were signed off quickly. The accuracy of them is being discussed with the forum members. Ive been told , they've never asked for edits and nothing in the meeting was explicitly stated to not be minuted.

Its more complex than this, club has to submit fan engagement plan forwards. Whilst if they choose to go bare minimum it needs to be a democratic voice.

See that as extremely unlikely, though two groups im in will likely do so

I believe they are completely breaching the EFL rules on fan engagement if this becomes the only vehicle

Trust me, I'm extremely frustrated by the rules, but will respect them. Falling out with our fellow supporters is the last thing we need given how hard we've worked to bring the coalition together based on mutual respect. However what I do promise. If the minutes dont reflect what was said then I will be first to break ranks and clear them up. Ive always stood for transparency (I dont know any other way,) This is the supporters club being dismantled and I will always stand by my pledge to members of supporters groups I represent to always act honestly and with the utmost integrity. I've asked tonight where we are up to on mutually agreed minutes amongst the supporter attendees and no doubt will be emailed back once that communication is read. I was asked to attend by the club as the only ewood comms open , and against my own judgement chose to go. I got some points across but as you'd possibly appreciate one meeting was never going to be enough to discuss 15 years of complete incompetence

The delay is not club related, minutes were drafted quickly and approved by club. Some of the points have been asked to be looked at again from attendees, on their first viewing of the approved minutes, so in essence the initial delay is duets this. So no conspiracy theory or minutes being altered by club at this stage.

Lol, I got home 21.40, though did speak after the forum to a couple of people, so in theory I was there for over 3 hours

Importantly Suhail was there, Let's see the minutes and take it from there. Not ideal as I dont operate this way, but important to respect the FF code of practice

I attended FF tonight with a number of coalition members, The minutes need to come out which will be respected regarding content, However the FF meeting occurring does not halt the supporters movement in terms of the coalition. Will digest overnight today's meeting, but they are rattled and rightfully so should be. We dont let up, and continue moving forwards.

Many of the points here raised in a 3 hour FF, Will respect the rules regarding the minutes coming out, but I can confidently say, points were put across, redirected if answer not forthcoming and pushed again until an answer of some kind was given.

We had our first post AGM meeting last Sunday, which was pretty much electing chair and a welcome to the new board members. I'm under no illusion, we've a mammoth task on here. I'm attending the FF for first time Monday as an Action group representative, and Duncan will be there on behalf of WATR. As a member of the Coalition for the AG. This week I was engaged with the local MP who shared the agenda for the items to go to vote in Parliament for the independent regulator. This is comms the coalition have been having regularly over the last 6 weeks. With my new role within WATR, I also engaged with @oldjamfan1on these motions who has been working with the FSF regarding input into this bill. In terms of the direction of the WATR, Duncan and I did catch this week following the first meeting and determining the roles and responsibilities of our fellow board members is high on the agenda as we look to implement a clear strategy internally to allow us all to be the best version of ourselves, whilst everyone involved brings their unique skill sets to create a credible entity which focuses on delivering on its members driven mandate, which is being reviewed and will require member consultation.
