I have always been broadly supportive of the Trust but I agree that they went overly political. Cloake is a decent bloke but is by his own admission is on the hard left of the political spectrum. Not sure that makes for a good working relationship with a capitalist investment firm.
Getting into bed with the red scousers was the straw that broke the camel's back.
They're a bunch of useless wankers who are an embarassment. They don't serve any purpose and like most people who involve themselves in this type of organization it's more about feeding their own fragile ego's rather than trying to actually change anything.
Most of these half-wits have delusions of grandeur and this little fantasy gives them a sense of importance they don't get from their mundane ordinary lives as accountants or social workers or whatever tedious job they actually do for a living.

Lots of truth here.
Sorry a tad confused.
Are we talking the person who started this thread or our players?

Except the Times they have
Martin Cloake used to write for The Spur fanzine when Alan Sugar was regularly getting a good shoeing.
In recent years Cloake has written a few Spurs related books which are good reads and often available in the club shop.
Whatever happened to Daniel Wynne?
He was the original Trust maestro as I recall.
I have a few of them. I have nothing against the fella personally. Proper Spurs fan.
I believe he loves Spurs but being in the Trust does seem to provide a nest full of feathers for a chosen few.
Yep but they’ve just replaced them with another load of retirees. Need some young blood in there. Maybe actual proper professionals.
You have nailed it. I've always thought of it like MPs the kind of people that want to do that job are exactly the kind of folk that shouldn't. I make too much money and have too little time to go to meetings that are not about the crap I do for a living
Genuine question. Have they achieved anything?
I’m sure there was something about hot dogs at the stadium
Let's be serious, six million of them are Africans who's only posts are Ronaldo Vs Messi bullshit.
I'll just echo what others have said.
The concept of the trust is good and should fill a purpose of representing the voice of the fanbase. But the current one is just populistic point chasing and seemingly for representing the board of the trust rather than the regular fanbase.
It's all clout chasing. Like the lawyers that used to chase ambulances.

Whenever I engaged with Martin he was always polite and seemed a decent chap. However, he had his own opinions that shut out other points of view, which is not a good thing when having to represent a broad spectrum of opinions.
Been replaced by a lot of 'the old lot' who remained.
Rachel Martin is now Co-Chair after fighting for better sausage rolls in her previous focus area within the Trust.
Having had dealings with her, I can tell you, she's as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.
