Chris Watts Leaves Board

Chris Watts has resigned from the Trust's Board in the wake of the vote on the restructuring of the club. His resignation follows that of Joe McKenna and comes as the Board considers the Trust’s modified role after the vote in favour of Steve Hayes’ proposal to take 100% ownership of the Club.

Well done Chris. Unlike the shameful actions of those Board Members who voted in favour of this proposal your integrity remains intact.

I would like to thank you and all those on the Board who fought unsuccessfully to recommend a No vote for doing your utmost to safeguard this club's future.

For the rest, I question why you were ever Board Members of a Supporters Trust movement which, guided by Supporters Direct, exists to increase supporter democracy within the clubs they love. You are the ones who should in truth be resigning, albeit too late.

You say about the clubs future surely without Steve Hayes Wycombe would of become like Slough and Aylesbury again in the non-league and with out little chance of getting out unless a invester like like steve hayes comes forward....Congratulations Wycombe i can see a greater future for our town and lets build on wot we have. The premiership is not that far away!!!!

Do fans really want to see wycombe stay in the same league year in year out, at the end of the day this is what football is about winning games and gettting promotion not moaning about a person who want to help our club progress.

Without wishing to turn this message board into Gas Room 2, I must take issue with Marcus Wood's comments and remind him of two points:-

Firstly, the Trust's directors who recommended a Yes vote were not necessarily happy with the proposals. They were simply recommending what they believed to be the best option from a very difficult situation.

Secondly, their recommendation was just that - a recommendation. We had a free vote, both as Ordinary and Founder shareholders in our own names and in determining how the Trust should vote the 100,000 Ordinary and 153 Founder shares which it controls.

In my view the key Trust directors who worked on these proposals did so with great dedication, commitment and complete integrity and should be thanked and congratulated, and certainly not asked to resign.

We live in a democracy. The vote was in favour. Time to move on.

Our democracy also means that any dissenters can vote against any of the Trust directors when and if they stand for re-election at future AGMs.
