I thought the same when I got the latest email Apollo.
I’m probably like most members and haven’t got involved to any great extent such as attending the agm and assume everything is done democratically as per their published rules. Looking back I see that the sharebuilder scheme email was started the same way :
“Trust members have encouraged the Trust to consider devising a scheme to raise significant funds for the club which, as usual, would be in return for the purchase of SUFC shares.”
I didn’t get involved in that as I don’t fully understand it, but I naively assumed that it was something suggested and voted on at the agm and had been planned since then. It is now clear this isn’t how the trust works which is very concerning.
