It's obviously a conflict of interest, but Ange put it in her statement and people still voted for her. The only problem seems to be the people losing sleep over it, (which in itself is a bit weird and pathetic really, it's a fans council at a football club ffs), didn't seem to vote, else (judging by how salty a lot of you are getting), she wouldn't have retained her seat would she? If your not happy about something, vote to change it. Don't bitch and moan after the event about the lady, behind anonymous names on a message board that she clearly reads. There is genuinely no need for some of the comments some users are posting either. She clearly loves the club and has probably landed her dream job at said club. That and interviewing managers, being involved in the match day etc. is what most of us would love to do as our jobs. The people who continually jump on these threads to criticise Ange (it's always the same posters), just come across as bitter jealous fuckers and should be pretty embarrassed of themselves really. If stood in front of her, they wouldn't say jack shit. I have no affiliation with Ange, don't know her, have never met her, but she only ever comes across as a really nice person who absolutely loves Stoke City. I agree wholeheartedly and I have met Ange and she's a lovely person and the shit she gets it completely out of order.

From Twitter .. To be fair I don’t know any of the detail so posted for info only and without comment ..2nd tweet is to wish the council and the club well for the future I see that the originator of this tweet has now said the issue was with the club and not Angela or the Council who behaved in an exemplary manner. And my final word on the subject,for those jumping on Ange thinking he was anti when infact it appears to be the opposite.The club clearly have no issue with anyone standing,if they did then they would not have allowed them to stand.Also whilst we’re on the subject Dave Lee is at every press conference but no one to my knowledge has ever attacked him🤔

This thread has taken a very predictable and well trodden route where a certain individual is yet again being rounded on by her supposed fellow football fans of the club we all passionately follow and support.
It's absolutely disgusting and nowhere near acceptable.

No but your personal vendetta against her since she ousted yourself as chair will always raise its ugly head in these threads along with your band of merry men.You’ll always deny it with your little bits of praise now and again but sadly most can see through it Malcolm You won’t find any evidence of a “personal vendetta “ against Angela because there hasn’t ever been one. I have disagreed with decisions taken by the Council on alterations to its rules without consultation with wider supporter base, and on the questions raised in my initial post. I have done so in a professional and non-personal way. If you choose to characterise that as a personal vendetta rather than answering the points raised, you are ironically making a unjustified personal attack on me. Let’s stick to the issues of voting transparency and conflicts of interest. Despite the fact, that the individual who has resigned from the Council, it is not because of Angela, this thread continues with its butter would not melt, not a personal vendetta from tranparent Malcolm.
The personal attacks on Angela from others on this thread and message board are disgusting.
Angela is someone who cares about the club, and wants to help with the fans. She is a lady with incredible strength, to be able to withstand personal attacks on this message board from people who hide behind a username and are the lowest form of life in society.
And the moderators of this board seem happy to let this vile attack continue, with little or none, consequences, to the individuals that do it.
Then we have Malcolm, who whilst at every opportunity, squeals that there is no vendetta, and seems to get upset about personal attacks on him.#
Well Malcolm,
Angela has done more to help the club Stoke City, than you have ever done, and has done a far better job than you ever did on the council or ever would.
You instigate these personal attacks on Angerla, and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Malcolm, No Vendetta towards Angela?
Really
to use quotes from people attacking Angela,
What Crap,
It stinks to high heaven, Malcolm.

I’m afraid Malcolm is wasting his time. The council do what they like, change the rules to suit themselves, and couldn’t care less about anyone’s opinion on it. The response to asking for the voting figures, conflicts of interest, the secrecy of some of the minutes, plus probably more I’ve not seen or forgotten about shows how little they think of the people they’re supposed to represent.
I’m not saying that they do nothing, I’m sure they’re very helpful with people they agree with, but any elected group of people are there to be questioned. Not attacked, but I’ve seen very little of that in the direction of the council and more at the folk questioning them. Unfortunately when you put yourself in the public eye folk will talk about your performance, that’s just life.

You know what Bayern I defended you a few months ago against online bullying against yourself but in hindsight you are right up there with the worst offenders Shameful The only personal attacks on this thread are against Malcolm. The council is a public body and if people aren’t happy with what they do then we have every right to air that. The chair is an employee of the club. That should not be allowed. It’s an obvious conflict of interest and is a topic for debate. The council since it started has been useless and then we find out that over time it has had numerous employees on. Ever likely it’s such a blunt instrument. The only person that is out of order on this thread is the bloke who has led a personal assault on Malcolm for daring to challenge something in a forensic way. The response to it is par for the course for the council and it’s defenders. No answers. No willingness to be open to change. No room to be hear criticism. It sums the sorry thing up to a tee.

Another bizarre post by an extremely bizarre individual. You talk about vendettas when your last 3 posts are having a pop at Malcolm. You talk about personal attacks yet keep attacking both Malcolm and other posters based on your limited (thank Christ) posting history (you've called someone "a complete and utter wanker" and "scum"). If you don't like how the moderators look after the place, don't post. I say that with more hope than anything.

I will only say that nowhere have I made a personal attack on Angela or anyone else. I raised two legitimate issues. First, the decision not to publish the number of supporters who voted and the turnout. Second the conflict of interest inherent in Council members also having roles within the club and other relationships with the Club. That applies to Angela but that most certainly doesn’t make it a personal attack. It might also apply to others if as has been stated there are other Council members in that position but I am still unclear on that. I think I have been the subject of a number of personal attacks in this thread which is disappointing but I’ve been around long enough not to lose too much sleep over that. I am willing to be judged on what I’ve actually written, but not on others misrepresentation of that.

The issue of the other members that have also worked for the club sums up the response we normally get. Only pleasant way of asking who and when/how they announced it. Answered with sneers or silence.

So now you're introducing a victim thing. Who has said you're not entitled to your opinion? Ange (and anyone) does not deserve *abuse*, and I have defended her myself on here in the past. *Criticism*, given the positions she holds, is justified and necessary. From what I know of her she is a decent and conscientious individual, and to be honest I would be surprised and disappointed if she endorsed the kind of bad-faith, baseless personal attacks you have engaged in on this thread in the name of "speaking out" for her.

A club official on the supporters council is clearly a conflict of interest and whoever the individual happens to be should stand down and let someone else take their place.

You criticise me for making “no attempt to check the facts about who works for the Club and sits on the Council” and for still being unsure about that. Much earlier in the thread crouchpotato accused me of gender discrimination against Angela for highlighting it about her and not others whom I knew were in the same position. Logically both criticisms can’t be right. If I don’t know about the others ( which I don’t - IF they exist) then I can’t be guilty of gender discrimination. But I disagree that it’s the responsibility of myself or any other fan to investigate to see if there are others. It should be publicised by a note in the minutes of each meeting that a member declares an interest; and on the Club website and in election statements ( which is what Angela quite properly did, which is how I knew about it in the first place). On behalf of the Supporters Club and the FSA I will write to the Council and the Club to clarify the exact position on who they are and what other roles or relationships they have. If there are others, that information held by the Club will be their personal data, and under GDPR they will have to give their permission for its release. I would hope and expect that to be forthcoming but it will up to the individual. I will also ask the Club for copies of previous election statements. I don’t recall ever seeing it declared in one but my memory could be at fault. I think it is unreasonable to blame me for starting an important discussion if some other fans, on whatever side of the discussion, say inappropriate or personal things. At the risk of stating the obvious, the fact that another poster agrees with some or all of my points doesn’t mean that I agree with everything they write about Angela or anything else. You stated in your previous post that Angela has done a better job than I have done or could ever do on the Council and elsewhere. That may be true but is completely irrelevant. The points I raised are nothing to do with my abilities compared with Angela or anyone else, but are to do with good governance in respect of electoral transparency and real or perceived conflicts of interest. I have just re-read my opening post for the umpteenth time and do not see how it could in any way be read as personal, and I think it raises quite legitimate and important issues about supporter engagement processes at our Club. I am obviously not responsible for other posters contributions.

I may have got this completely wrong. But if you read Angela’s statement for election, the new role for the club is not worded as a potential conflict of interest.
Please see below the wording
“Following on from the success of the Euros there is a tremendous opportunity for the Stoke City Women’s teams to progress. I have accepted the role of general manager of the women’s section. This is a non-football related position, and my aim is to support and promote the women’s team as much as possible. Our players are not professional and would love and deserve more supporters backing them on matchday.”
I wanted to run, because I believe the council is broken and ineffective (not because of the members of the council, but because it’s clearly a PR tool created by the club), but i didn’t see any of the dates etc for the new elections.
I really hope that the government push forward with the fan led review of football’s governance as the recommendation of a shadow board will hopefully give it teeth.
I personally think we as the supporters of stoke city should have a say in its strategy.

I personally think we as the supporters of stoke city should have a say in its strategy. As I said higher up in the thread, I think the publicity given by the Club to the election could have been much better. We are hoping that the change of PM and CMS Secretary of State won’t diminish the Government’s support for Tracey Crouch’s FLR recommendations. At the moment we have no reason to believe that it will. There is a White Paper due on it. The test will be that the White Paper actually appears and of course what’s in it.

I might stick my name down next year for a hoot. I'm a home and away supporter of 40 years standing (more recently seating.. with my knees) I think the matchday experience is currently woeful Parking and traffic congestion is a joke I am not employed by the club in any other capacity Who's voting for me? What is your take on cake at the ground? If there’s no bread, Qu’ils mangent de la brioche
