Careful with that axe, Eugene

We have had to put up with the former club employees grinding their axes with Imraan for many months on Poppynet.  You know, the ones who grandly announce that they are privy to tidbits of information that they couldn't possibly divulge to mere mortal Poppies supporters.  Oh no.  Heaven forbid.  It's enough that YOU know that THEY know something.

As it has transpired, they have been "right" and the club has been royally f**ked over by Imraan.  Not that any of them were in the least bit specific with their dark mumblings, but you wouldn't know this from the way they are crowing as the club is about to blink out of existence.

As we have all known, almost since his arrival, Imraan has run the Poppies in what could charitably be called a scandalously haphazard fashion.  And no one  has known this better than the axe-grinders, as they have been on the inside, looking out.  They have grandly swanned around the ground on matchdays, with their superior expressions, swathed in their "Poppies officialdom".  All seeing and all knowing.   They would have known then how Imraan was running the club, but did any of them say anything then, whilst exercising influence, strutting around in club blazers, or banking their DRC paychecks?  Of course not. They were more than happy to go along with Imraan's shenanigans as long as they were on the inside.  All of which makes their bleating now that they are just ordinary fans like the rest of us so hard to swallow.

Unfortunately this attitude has shown itself again with regard to the Supporters Trust.  Former members of the Trust committee, who have stood down over the years because they couldn't play nice with others, or threw their toys out of the pram, are popping up now asking why the Trust isn't organising boycotts, or setting up a brand new club, or at the very least, hiring a hitman to "rub-out" Imraan.

Again, when they were on the Trust committee they did bugger all, but now are demanding action from everyone else.  God alone knows why anyone would choose to be on this committee.  Since formation thay have contributed thousands to the club, organised pretty much every event the club has put on, and paid for most developments at Rocky Road such as disabled access, and new goalposts.  They even shelled out, at Imraan's "invitation" to pay to investigate our using Corby's new ground.

Former committee members, and others, including many who can't be arsed to part with a few quid to actually join, are clamouring for the Trust to ride in and sort all of the club's problems.  Not an easy task.  A thread on Poppynet talking about a simple task of demonstrations at "home" to FGR will have as many different suggestions as their are posters.

Painful as it is to admit, but until Imraan actually does something there is very little ANYONE can do.  If we want something to happen at the FGR game why not clamour for Imraan to take the microphone at halftime and tell us what's going on?  He likes talking.  He probably believes he can still talk us around.  All of us will be there.  And, if we don't like what we hear at least the Trust-hired hitman will have a clear shot.....
