I think you are confusing things here somewhat (or perhaps just don't want to admit that the trust have come up with largely sensible requests?)
Criticising ENIC about ambition, hiring/firing of managers, buys and sells, etc and the things that the trust have proposed enshrining into a new structure at the club are completely different things. The things that the trust are proposing relate to key aspects of THFC's being.... The location of the home stadium, what competitions we play in, the location that we play games in, the name of the club, our badge/colours. These are all sensible things that are reasonably black or white in terms of whether they are in place or not. They are things that many (including you it seems) may take for granted but, as evidenced a few times in recent years, actually could be changed pretty much at the owners' whim. These are largely things that are worth protecting in the eyes of the supporters of the club. We saw that with the reaction to the proposal to relocate the home stadium to Stratford and joining the ESL.
Supporter directors can't (and shouldn't) really be involved in decisions relating to hiring managers, players, etc.... How can these things be defined in a black or white way? Why would you want the Supporter director(s) to be involved in these aspects of the club and how would you propose that is achieved? Would you want them having a veto on which manager or players are recruited? Or them to set sale prices on the players in our squad for example?
Themes
- Protect heritage and legacy of club -> Stadium, assets, colors, etc, (lets say we agree here)
- Role of club in society -> area investment, charity, social media, diversity & inclusion (you seem to disagree but I think these are a core part of our identity, who we want to be)
- Ambition of the club -> this is where those pieces you disagree with sit
This isn't about saying we want a veto on players or set a price tag
- This is about (what I swear everyone fudging screams about every day on this board) what is the long term strategy for the club to be successful "on the pitch"
- Is it about leveraging the academy, when our revenue increases are what our our projected buying models (not individual players) and how does that tie in to what objective (top 4, top 2, win the league, by when?)
- Playing style, tied to above what trade off are we willing to make/not make for success?
And my argument is, right now, the last point -> ambition of club and plan to get there is 100X a more relevant conversation than "do you plan to move or change the name of club"
But you will disagree, because you refuse to concede/agree on a single point, it's not black or white, win/lose here. and someone else will jump in with mental gymnastics to tie my way for the Trust to be more relevant into "ENIC stooges"
