How very Animal Farm

But animal farm is a fictional book, AFC R & D is not. You don't have to support it, but if you do you'll have a say. What would you describe R & DFC as "Mein kampf" ?
"The great masses of the people will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one."

Only if you omit this bit:

but there are things we can't say in public for fear of jeapordising what we are trying to put in place.

And this bit:

no decisions are being taken on your behalf

I think there needs to be a very clear statement on communication in the constitution of the new club. Let's not forget that at a time when we should have been told everything that was going on at the club - as Trust Members in a Trust run club in 2005/06, the exact opposite was happening, with Trust Board members being banned from communicating directly with fans, and with "misinformation" being published such as the statements from the July 2006 board meeting that the club was heading towards a break-even situation just a few months before they deemed the situation so dire that they had to agree the fateful deal with Keith Cousins.
