Not suggesting running the club , but having a voice and a controlled contribution
To clarify, when I said an interest in running the club, I meant on any level. Even just as a member of the club's board or any kind of small control at all. It was very much not part of the intention.

I'd suggest that essentially you are now redundant , an academy is basically pointless now and for the near future
Also to clarify, I'm only a member of the trust now and haven't been on the board for years. The nearest affiliation I now have is having a chat to a couple of the current board members if I bump into them, as the ones I know are very good people with the right intentions at heart.
As Bullseye has rightly said, a lot of the sort of fans you need to do this kind of thing are people like him (and a lesser extent myself). Those who are willing to give up their time and resources. Unfortunately most of those people have been there and done it in the last 10-15 years and are burnt out.
