The Trust have called for the board to resign.

[SpiderSpurs]

Worth it's own thread IMO.

“We call for the immediate resignation of the Executive Board of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, and for the owners to work with us to appoint a new board that has elected and accountable fan representation on it. That representation must make key decisions about the running of the club dependent upon fan approval, and we would expect to see that made a legal requirement across the game.”

Great idea, almost certainly won’t happen.

[Juicy Sushi]

Yeah. The board really won't go for this, but the Trust is correct to call for it, and at least managed to word it in the kind of way that the board cannot really ignore it.

After what has happened does anyone really think what us fans or the trust says matters to the board/owners? Lets not act like the protests were the reason the super league was stopped. It was because of the threats from the league, UEFA, FIFA, politicians. Everyone else who wanted to keep control, nothing to do with us fans who have a very small voice.

 

[CarrieFi]

You’d think that after their actions, their role would be untenable

 

[Nutter-Naylor]

We should start a poll as to which TFC poster we should elect to represent us on the board.

No one believes that we do. But to say nothing is to tacitly support it. The Trust is accurately reflecting the fans, and taking a stance on what football means to the fans of this club. The board's failings are on them, not on any of us.

 

[Mrs Perryman]

We have to start somewhere, I suppose. Even if they don't act on it, which is what everyone expects in reality, at least they get an indication on how the supporters are feeling.
Personally, I wish I didn't love this Club as much as I do, as all this palaver is wearing me down and I would love to just walk away. I wouldn't put up with this from a bloke!

Not me, I'll be too busy running the Club.

I agree with that. It is nice to say something so our opinions are heard. I just have little to no faith that it will actually have an impact.

Aim high and hope for a compromise.

An Act of Parliament completely violated the basic laws on private property which forces the board, and other owners of other clubs, to give at least partial control to fans is the only thing that will have an impact.

Didn't see this?

Fair play to them. I don't think it will make any difference but its still good to hear them say it.

Question.
If they want to replace the whole executive board, I'm assuming that includes Levy?

In effect, they'll be asking Levy to resign and then, as he is one of the owners, they'll be asking him to recommend a replacement.
Or have I got that wrong?

I think that's a fair summary. The Chairman of the board is still part of it.

 

[Don Corleone]

Probably won’t make a difference but fair play to them. I don’t think I have ever seen the Spurs supporters trust giving real ultimatums like this though. They clearly are serious about this. Fully in agreement with it. #levyout #enicout

 

[OffTheBench]

Fully agree with the statement, a sensible and balanced position from THST.

With the right Government support this could happen.

A quick reminder of the Executice Board:

Club Directors | Tottenham Hotspur

Find out about the Club Directors for Tottenham Hotspur, with information and history about the executive and non-executive directors.

www.tottenhamhotspur.com

Chairman: Daniel Levy

Operations and Finance Director: Matthew Collecott

Executive Director: Donna-Maria Cullen

(edited to remove two directors without Board voting rights)

 

[T.K. Massive]

We need to get some sort of appointed position in the board though. Levy and Co seem so out of touch with what Spurs fans want or expect anymore. It's all his own Top 4 party and nothing else seems to matter.

This is what I hope that we can get from this.

Getting the entire board sacked seems a bit unrealistic. But having a position for the Trust or another fan organisation on the board should be doable.

They're asking him to move onto the non-Exec Board basically. He'll still have influence and a large stake, but steps back from practical duties. The replacement would be a puppet, let's be honest. The fan representation on the new Board is the key.
