I’ve just seen Mr Maws video on YouTube.
Not being on X or Facebook this whole Ellis/Maw debacle has thankfully largely passed me by but I am a member of the trust and am very concerned that the good work they do and have done could be undermined by what has happened.
If I understand correctly, Matt Ellis posted something on X which was offensive to Stuart Maw. A public apology was demanded by Maw and he subsequently put on youtube that he had received a personal email apology but that wasn’t good enough.
Since then Maws Unity group has come into existence and he appears to be using it to turn his personal feelings about an X post into something that the Trust should be responsible for. I’m sure the Trust will deal properly with any issues to do with their board members and are rightly not getting dragged into doing anything hasty just because Maw wants it.
I don’t doubt Maw has raised a lot of money for SUFC and Michelle Harness has personally praised this on a number of occasions. However he would do well to remember his own comments about supporters during the Hilton period when I recall a number of horrible comments on YouTube including referring to those raising concerns about Hilton as parasites, on one occasion that I was shown. I can’t recall him publicly apologising for that so I would suggest he calms down and at the very least looks up the word Unity in a dictionary.
