Crouch and Trant don’t beat about the bush in meeting with the fans

 

10:42am Friday 16th June 2006

By Echo Reporter » IT was supposed to be the night when key members of Michael Wilde's proposed new board delivered their mission statement to fans.

Potential chief executive Jim Hone, operations manager Lee Hoos and chairman Ken Dulieu were aiming to tell supporters just why they should be trusted with the running of their club if Rupert Lowe loses the EGM.

But in the absence of their manifesto the publication of which has been delayed due to legal technicalities the evening turned into a showcase for Patrick Trant and Leon Crouch's passion for Saints to come through.

Trant was a last-minute addition to the top table for the first half of the meeting at the Northam Social Club.

But, after Portugal-based former policeman and financial investigator Delieu and ex-Fulham pair Hone and Hoos had all introduced themselves, it was local businessman Trant head of Trant Construction who got the assembled fans cheering and applauding.

I was also at that meeting. I recall Crouch suddenly out-of-the-blue expressing reservations about Wilde.

 

I wish we had all listened a bit better............

 

And after that night's performance, what a colossal let-down Patrick Trant turned out to be........

 

I think Crouch has more than reservations now about Wilde I would have thought

I was there and after spoke to Ken Dulieu. It was then I realised that he had been to see me at my office on a previous occasion to try to convince me his surveillance company could now provide me with a top service having not previously lived up to their promises.

 

Suprise, suprise he still failed to come up with the goods.
