George meant for this to be seen by DTB and Trust members only. No copying of the text to here please?

How to access the letter - aren't all ST holders Members?

It's pretty clear to.me, that the appearance of this action of George, who was a club man through and through, must be truly appalled by events. To some degree, even the most loyal will turn a blind eye to things in the beginning. It's when these events are increasingly more frequent and I'd guess more pushing of his own ethics , then getting out of that environment is the only option available to him. It does raise the question however of what next and when.

Padds, are you and Colin still members of the Trust?

How did you find George's letter, Trig?

Yes I should have worded that better for sure Meadow. I think it falls short because I know so much more of their goings on but you (and others) are right it’s still not a pleasant read and should hopefully lead to some folk decided whether they and/or others are the right people to be on the board at such a crucial time in the club’s history.

George specifically calls out the decision making - something that has been almost negligently poor for way too long now. The Chair should step down from the board as far as I’m concerned and NOT into a cushy role on the PLCB as we’ve seen happen before.
Trig - even if you think the letter falls short, it's still pretty damning.

I think we all know what needs to happen, but it never will!

Twice during my dealings with the DTB/ESG I expressed my concern directly to George in a caring manner that he maybe wasn’t being treated particularly well by the people he was working for. Twice those people acted so massively offended by me expressing those concerns.

Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing. The DTB (and ESG and PLCB as the old boy network spread) Club needs a big stiff broom but the club is in charge of choosing that broom so on we go same as before. Well done George for standing up for his own personal values.
Yes, murdering people is never a good answer.

I've still got a soft spot for George - we used to sit next to his dad at KM. I'm delighted that he's got out, and wish him all the best in the future. He was very much on a hiding to nothing being so dependant on the club.

If George really wanted to change the DTB then his open letter falls massively short. I do think he’s been treated very poorly by very many people during his time there though* - so I wish him the best going forwards in whatever he does. Better off out of it - nothing will change until the finances are sorted one way or (hopefully not) the other.

*I also think he has behaved equally poorly himself at times - maybe as he continues to mature he may look back on those years with a degree of self-reflection, something we’ve all probably done at times.
Got that, but almost didn't as I thought they'd been in it more than once!
