Resolution K: Members of the society call upon the board of the WST to appoint a negotiating team of professionals to handle all negotiations with the owners of the football club relating to the purchase of the club.
When companies buy and sell parts of their business they generally appoint a team of people to handle the detail. Lawyers, Accountants business experts and so on.
These people then report back to the board with a set of recommendations.
We see no reason why the WST should be any different in this regard.
There are people within the membership who are willing to help if called upon and the Board of the WST should use them.
At the moment the WST approach to meetings with the Club is not businesslike. Meetings are called at very short notice and without an agenda. As a result Board members attend, in contravention of their own Board Members Policy, without a mandate to agree anything with the club.
The attendees will be whoever is available to go on the day and as a result there is a lack of continuity and progress.
In the past this has lead to problems for the Board in its relationship with the club and we believe this has hampered progress.
We would like to see a small group of people working with the club on behalf of, and reporting to, the board of the Trust on set agendas and with a clear mandate.
Buying a football club is a complex business and it is vital that the Trust is represented by the best people possible.

Seems sensible enough....The thing is.. will the people negotiating be chosen to do so by the membership? Will they do it for free or will the rule regarding keeping back all funds for equity be relaxed in order to pay them?Will there be the continuity described... will the same team always be available?
i do not feel we should pay for this help.there are people from within the membership who are willing to help.
Are the people who are willing to help going to show themselves before the vote or is it a secret....or some sort of suprise??
Will they always be avaolable as a group or will there be less continuity than there is at the the moment?
